Will people that have been recently banned from Halo 3 be able to unlock Recon when they unlock all the vidmaster achievements when ODST is released?I was asked this queston by my friend a couple of days ago,and I told him I would let him know.Can anybody answer this for me.A Bungie employee would be a plus.Thanks.

I am Katsu Kage, an assassin trained in the art of stealth. I was on a recon mission when I discovered a blue box hidden among some rubble. Once I entered the blue box it had taken me to a land far away. It was strange and fantastic! There I met PatikaVoom, the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. She showed me this land, then returned with me to the blue box. She called it a TARDIS and seemed to know how to work it. We left together and have been on many adventures, with many more to come!

Depends on what he was banned for...

Once you have been banned , you won't be able to unlock recon .

Really,because he was only boosting for achievements.That seems a little harsh.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?
Black Tower

im pretty sure bans that equal no recon are:
MM bans
exp bans
XBL voice bans
fileshare ban

no, that actually fits rather well.
you dont boost for achievments, it dont need to; it's pointless.
it's like extra credit on a test but backwards. this can't help you, only hurt you.
and they're called achievements for a damned good reason.
you EARN or ACHIVE them. not "hai guise i camt get dis cuz i r bedso wil u halp meh pl0x?"
as bad as exp boosting or other

Supreme mastery therefore, is not to be victorious in all your battles; supreme excellence is to be victorious without fighting.

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. "

In a recent Weekly Update, Bungie stated that If you have been banned, you may be able to unlock it. They have a list of people who will not ever get Recon, nor be able to unlock it.

They said there was a high bar for getting on that list, so it would depend on what you got banned for.

You'd have to be a very, very bad boy (or girl).

I think they should still be able to unlock Recon.I mean everybody has cheated in a game one time or another.Anyone who hasn't is a liar.

  • 06.06.2009 10:09 AM PDT

That's a bold assumption, and a poor generalization. I guess you'd call me a liar, because I'll tell you, I've never cheated in a game.

Then again, any statement like mine can be disputed, because anyone making the accusation will change the criteria to fit their definition of cheating as they need to to win the argument.

Life's a -blam!-, always testing you. All you got to do is get up from your desk, kick it in the balls and walk out of the class. Then you come back later, and pass the test.

Yes you will be able to, Bungie said that people who have been banned from Recon through contests or something will be able to get it with the vid masters.

Try the search bar if you want proof from an Employee, they don't usually pay trips to individualized questions.

If you get banned multiple times, you cannot get ODST in the Fall. Just once is okay. Am I the only person who reads the updates anymore?

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

I hope you know you're wrong... If you get banned in Halo 3 you can still buy ODST.
How can Bungie stop you form buying ODST?
