Subject: Hayabusa: The Revival

So, as well all are WELL aware, Recon is being made more readily available to the public with the release of ODST. Does everyone remember how there was an overabundance of Hayabusa users after the solution for the IWHBYD skull was released? Of course, it has since died down, but it was really overused for quite a while.

I fear that this will happen to Recon, depending upon the content of the Vidmasters and whether they will be somewhat skill based and difficult to achieve, or "I found it on the internet!" easy. If it's the latter, then I have a plan.

When Recon becomes overused, I'm going to be making a fashion statement. I'm going retro. I'm bringing back the Hayabusa fad. Samurai vs. Ninja. Hayabusa vs. Recon. It's on.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

Um... Which is samurai? Recon looks nowhere near like a Samurai and Hayabusa is supposed to be based on Ninja Gaiden's Ryu Hayabusa.

Anyway half of you stick to your Hayabusa, half of you stick to your Recon... I'm sticking with my Mark V! =P

we dont even know what we have to do to get it, chances are it will be EXTREMELY difficult, and thus making it rarer then finding some skulls via youtube.

Recon, of course, looks like a ninja. Hayabusa has always given off more of a Samurai vibe to me, mostly because of the headgear. The shoulders are also really Samurai-esque.

That's what I'm saying. This is based purely on the assumption that the remaining Vidmasters will be just as easy as the ones we already have. The only Vidmaster even close to difficult so far has been Annual, and that only took about an hour.

I don't see why people say Hayabusa looks like a ninja when ninjas didn't wear armor.

why are you complaining about the armor..who cares who uses what. It does not affect you in any way shape or form. It does not matter how many people use which armor, your kills all count the same, and BTW..I love my Hayabusa armor lol I still have it on at this very second. But i dont think im special nor do i care who thinks any different, i dont play to get the armor i play to demolish your face with...(not gonna say it) lol..so stop whining, man thats all you guys do around here, is complain and cry about everything. Give it a rest..sheesh.

I'm not complaining at all. Did you even read the thread? I just think it would be funny to combat the possible overuse of Recon by bringing back the Hayabusa trend.

I did read the whole thread lol, i wasnt necessarily saying you were complaining i was speaking on general terms, if you have a look around the forums, most people are complaining about stupid crap. But yes i plan on keeping my hayabusa armor on at all times, so if your starting a Hayabusa armor club count me in lol...jk..and to what someone else said..the only reason why its such a big deal to have the recon armor is because they dont have it, once they get it the whole recon trend would be over lol.
