Subject: Forget Recon!

Friends are like Potatoes

If you eat them, they will die.

So really, what's the big deal about Recon Armor? It gives you nothing special (obviously), and looks like just another armor permutation.

Seriously, just beacuse Arby 'n' Chief made a big deal about it, why should we?

Why do we only get Recon when ODST comes out (with completing all Vidmaster challenges)? Why not more Elite armor? Something for Elites to wear on THEIR backs? Now, it's not going to sway my decision to but ODST, I'm stoked for the campaign with a huge open map, Firefight, and the simple fact that Orbital Drop Shock Troopers are getting what the deserve: Publicity!

But seriously, why do people freak over recon anyway? Unless it has fire all over it, and for that matter fire would look cool on ANY helmet, why bother?

Post ideas, thoughts, and YOUR reasons for drooling over Recon.

I'm not going crazy for all the Vidmaster achievements but I would like to have it cause I think it actually looks cool, but I'm not drooling over it.

It's classic forbidden fruit. People only want it because they can't have it.

So true, I don't care if I get it or not it's just an armor, the thing I would like to see is new Armor for elites why Bungie added alot of armors for Spartans and few for Elites?

Yep its sad, sometimes i choose the Elite but all of the parts feel "old", theyre just a few. Bungie should make some more.

  • 06.16.2009 3:28 PM PDT

Yeah, all of what you said and that recon looks absolutely retarded.

  • 06.16.2009 3:33 PM PDT

Dont underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

I wanted recon armor but then when i found out everyone would get it, it i kinda sticked with ma scout armor....yeah....Scout FTW!!!.....lol.

its a special type of spartan armor that has a special ability.
the little kids will annoy you. and if you somehow "mess up" recon armor they will report you, yell at you, and make fun of you. so have fun wearing recon.

recon is an achievement, a personal goal given to the community to stimulate it to bring more custom content, and other good things to the halo table.

its more of a sign of pride, then an armor.

Halo Reach falls september 14th...
The hackers are getting reach early and are leaking the game all over the place...
It is time to find a way to go dark my brothers....
But I can not help you... We are all on our own now...
Finding a way to go dark...

im not upsessed over it but it would be nice to get it

  • 06.16.2009 4:34 PM PDT

People want it because it's rare.
A small portion like it for the aesthetics.
Don't bother asking for elite armors, because as Bungie stated long ago, no new armor can be added.

  • 06.16.2009 4:36 PM PDT

only the shoulders for me.

I've already read all of the halo books today you stupid nerd. Plus Halo:Fall of reach twice.

No-one is making a big deal about it apart from you by making this thread.

why do people care about what they look like in a first person shooter anyway?

  • 06.16.2009 5:15 PM PDT

Arby n' the chief didn't start this Recon obsession. It started off with the general Community wanting it, then moved on to the forums, where idiots (OP) started posting stupid, non-stop complaints about how people talk about it.
