Think about it, the game sells because you are supposed to get Recon, it would be truly hilarious if nobody got it. I know everyone is getting annoyed because they don't haz recon yet and I love trolling the complainers, but Bungie should pull of the best prank by not giving them it. Think about it.

It would be the largest prank ever to hit the 360.

EDIT: I would truly piss my pants if this were to be true.

I think Bungie shouldn't give away Recon for achievements. It's not fair to those who earned Recon the hard way.

This topic has been discussed before. I'm sure the guys over at Bungie made a consensus about what to do about the armor and decided that things would be better if everyone had a chance. Yeah sure it stinks for the guys that already have it, but down in my heart I think Bungie knows best.

IM A LEGIT 16

We need a lawyer in here!!

Would this be considered false advertisement and illegal, or would it just be a legit thing that would make Bungie lose the respect of 95% of their fans?

People aren't buying a game for the right reasons, only to brag about it.

"NOT ILLEGAL"

I'm conflicted because I feel the same way, but at the same time I really want that armor. Not because it's something that is currently exclusive, but because, in my opinion, it's the best looking armor in the game. I feel that it looks more like actual armor than any of the other permutations. If recon looked like the security helmet or something, I wouldn't really care.

1 - Yes, I'm pretty sure that is false advertising

2 - You do realize there is a whole new campaign and multiplayer mode (Firefight) included with ODST right? It's not like paying $60 unlocks the vidmasters for you and nothing else.

actually it is false advertisment. it says in magazines and on bungie.net "complete the vidmaster challenges in halo 3 and halo 3 odst, and you get recon" it would be like if we didnt get the second mythic maps with halo 3 odst, its false advertisement.

I for one, won't be worrying about the armour at all. Who in the right mind would only buy ODST for recon? I will be taking not much notice on the subject and will enjoy the things that really matter.

The people who earned it from prior-to-ODST events earned it prior to ODST. Some people have had it for over a year. They've gotten their money's worth (which is to say, no money paid).

And while I agree that such a prank would be great, I imagine there'd be a bunch of lawful actions against Bungie by crazed fans who don't understand the magnitude of things. In any case, it would be false advertisement and that is a problem.

Life isn't fair...

Yes the armor looks great, it would look good with, RECON body, RECON shoulder, HAYABUSA shoulder, and EVA helmet but, well, it is overly wanted. I know people that NEVER played halo 3 before that even want recon.

"Your destruction is the will of the gods...and we are their instrument."

who gives a -blam!- i say. if people want an in-game piece of armor that makes them feel bad-ass then why not. it's not like it enhances their ablities any. i do kinda think it's dumb though that the ppl who originally earned recon have nothing to show for it now.

That's pretty sad. Why would you care if you don't even play the game?

  • 07.08.2009 8:42 AM PDT

recon should be for bungie employees and special people like Walshy only.
I dont think it should go to people who 'deserve' it because it isnt as if bungie look at everyones files. Only a few lucky people get viewed.

I'd be annoyed that they lied, but I wouldn't mind too much. I just wish they had more/harder achievements to get it...

No. The game sells because it's Halo. Only an idiot buys a game that they won't like just to get a piece of armour.
Stop complaining, stop being stupid.

You say that but you sure as hell know there are over 10,000 kids out there that just want to brag to their friends.

I want to get Recon but also JUST to play ODST!Get the extended campaign,new multiplayer and well other stuff!
Also vidmaster achievements are a PAIN to get (Classic achievement O_o)

  • 07.08.2009 9:07 AM PDT

Donuts > all other food

Bungie is probably finally giving us Recon because Halo 3 is (probably) living its final year. In a year we will get Halo: Reach. Everyone will move onto that, and Halo 3 will die, just like Halo 2 did.

It would suck pretty badly if that were true. I want it for firefight and the new story, vidmasters are on the side.
