Turns out you need your gamertag linked to Bungie.net and all the Vidmasters to get Recon... The Gamertag linked to this profile is fake because the e-mail adress linked with my Gamertag is fake because i didn't have a real e-mail back when I first got XBOX LIVE so I can't link my Gamertag to Bungie.net... Sucks to be me because I already got all the Vidmasters for Halo3,except Brain Pan of course... I'm sad now...

I don't think you need to link your gamertag in order to get Recon. Also, you still have to get the three new Vidmasters in Halo 3: ODST to get it anyway.

"Dear Bungie.net, we regret being stubborn bastards, we regret coming to this forum, and we most definitely regret that Darth Kooky blew up our raggedy-ass opinion!"

This actually should be in the Halo 3 Forum, not the Halo 3: ODST forum as the ODST forum is really about what's included with the game, speculated rumours about plot points, etc.

Recon is in Multiplayer which really ties to Halo 3 itself. Not ODST.

And you'll still be able to unlock it as long as you unlock all 7 Vidmasters. No gamertag-linking needed unless won in a contest.

You could always try to get it from Bungie for something you did.

it says in the odst section of bungie.net you need to have your tag linked to get recon

  • 06.03.2009 8:49 PM PDT

Create a dud account on B.net that has your actual Gamertag linked.

What I am guessing that means is that you unlock the armor on B.Net once you've completed all of the Vidmasters.

Current Gamertag - iPistolwhip00

For the first time, Recon Armor for use in Halo 3 multiplayer will be made available to players who complete the "Road to Recon" challenge. Earn all seven of the Vidmasters, a series of Xbox LIVE achievements that span Halo 3's Campaign and Multiplayer and Halo 3: ODST, and then visit your Bungie.net Service Record with a linked gamertag to enable your sweet new set of digital duds.

I think this is what he's referring to.

He's right you know, the only thing you need to know is your password and this will work. I don't think that will be a problem for you though, I mean, you did log into Bnet and all...

It's better to burn out than fade away.
