You know before the Halo 3:ODST trailer was announced, the Recon armor was (and still is in my opinion) spartan armor and everyone wanted it plus it was hard to earn. Now that the ODST Screenshots are released and "Dare" is wearing the Recon helmet with her name on it, It changes the way players see Recon! The Recon armor won't be popular anymore! Bungie should remove Dare's Recon helmet and give her an ODST helmet cuz it's gonna change peoples point of view. People will no longer say "oh man this guy haz Recon." Instead people will say "hey he looks just like Dare ha ha ha ha ha ." Is the Recon armor gonna lose it's popularity all because of giving it to Dare? I say yes. What do you say?

Once people get Recon it won't be popular or awesome so it doesn't matter much.

Look at your comment, now back to mine.Now back at your comment now back to mine. Sadly it isn't mine, but if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate comments it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through comments, writing the comment your comment could look like. What did you post? Back at mine, it's a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again the reply is now diamonds.Anything is possible with legit comments Im sexy!

To late now, since the release of the trailers it is official and I don't think they would get rid of it this far into the game

I wish I could understand your point of view, but I can't stick my head that far up my ass.

I think that it doesn't matter in this respect, but it doesn't look very good on her

The tip of the sword... That's the place I am at.. In the front of the fighting force.

Ya...... Cause everyone thinks Recon is for guys only..... Bungie sees a reason for her to wear it. We just don't know what that reason is yet.

LOL THAT GUY IS WEARING MJOLNIR MARK V HELMET, JUST LIKE KELLY! LOL!

  • 06.03.2009 6:13 PM PDT

I am prepared for SOME explosions, thanks to EOD.

Maybe bungie wanted recon to be less popular.

I am very confused why she wears recon. It is a mystery, such as her bio.

You're right however, don't you guys think the Recon Helmet looks inappropriate on Dare? Just the thought of Dare wearing just the Recon Helmet makes me wonder and think about how much halo has changed over the years. I'm getting quite annoyed by all the changes that are going on. If Dare wears that helmet it'll look as though the character isn't finished. Reason: the helmet is too big! Anyways, thats my opinion.

It's like if the Fanta girls and the the cast of Girls gone Wild participated in a remake of Labyrinth that takes place in a crackhouse version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory where the sugar is cocaine, the candy is crystal meth, and the chocolate is LSD*takes a breath*and the goblin king became the gummy bear king.

maybe just maybe shes has a SNI spartan nerural interface

First off it is an ONI reconaissiance helmet. No spartan has ever used it. She works for ONI so she gets to use it. It doesn't look bad at all in my opinion, plus Spartans have no reason to wear it just like half of the other armor perms. They never officially used the majority of those, bungie just gave them a little description saying spartans used them to give it a reason for being in the game.

Well Recon is a Halo 3 MULTIPLAYER Helmet, that doesn't mean that its for spartans or only for Spartans, look at the ODST helmet that you can use in multiplayer. Should they remove the ODST helmet too than?

  • 06.03.2009 6:15 PM PDT

I am a Halo 3 Failure.

Everyone will be able to get Recon, therefor it won't be special anymore, so why does it matter?

Umm...Ok, if you aren't then why would people laugh at the ODST Captain? Unless you were implying that she was a women and people would laugh because the player weres what a girl weres?

same here. Recon is designed for spartans.

  • 06.03.2009 6:16 PM PDT

Honestly, who cares if an ODST has it.
Oh no, a character besides you gets to have Recon. So what?? It is Bungie's decision to make and not yours. You only want less people to have Recon because you want it to be special once you personally get it. You want it all to yourself so you will have bragging power instead of other characters having it. Let Bungie make their decisions, and let everyone else decide.
Personally, I think the Recon helmet will get people more interested in the storyline. Ask questions like "Who is Dare? All of her info is 'classified'. Gee, I should play the entire campaign then become a fan of Halo to find out who she is ."

Or maybe you are a stupid sexist -blam!-? Or you are just a douche bag, who thinks that being compared to probably a badass person from the campaign will make them sadface.

  • 06.03.2009 6:17 PM PDT

I have to disagree with you here my friend. Dare looks nothing like a Spartan, and furthermore she ISNT an ODST, well, that is just a theory. But look at here and her bio! It screams ONI, doesn't it? And the voice in the trailer.
Male ODST: Ma'am, were way off course!
Female (Probably Dare): We're right where I need to be.
It not only makes sense that she should have a different helmet, but it DOESNT make sense that it would degrade recon armor in the eyes of the player. I don't see why people will say "that guy looks like Dare" because Dare has a helmet that is an armor perm. Hell, the ODST helmet is an armor perm! Besides, should it really be "Oh man this guy has recon armor" ? I don't think that's what Bungie wanted. Recon armor is a privelage and a reward, not something to lord over others. The community has made it into something they want only for status and not necessarily for the coolness of the actual armor. Personally I hope lots of people get Recon through vidmasters so it WON'T be "Oh my god he has recon armor" because what it all comes down to is: Its a digital armor permutation for a digital character in a video game which is extremely entertaining but has no bearing on your success in the real world.

Also Dare is NOT the ODST captain. That is Buck. Dare, as I previously theorized, is an ONI agent.

Because some people are sexist and I bet people will start laughing at any guy who haz Recon. Think about it.

They act all big and tough when their on camera with their friends and their guns. But when you break into their house in the middle of the night and stick a gun barrel in their face. They cry like babies and and piss their pants.

No it's not, When has the Recon helmet been used by a Spartan in the Halo cannon? (which means Multiplayer does not count)
