but it is actually fair beacause annual, lightswich, 7 on 7, you needa find all the skulls on the mythic map pack AND PLUS 3 MORE vidmaster challenges in halo 3 odst and these are all pretty challenging thing

I disagree considering that it is so obvious that they are going to have a new armor

yeah I mean well I kinda agree but only because I think if bungie puts recon on public release It ruins the whole moment of getting recon and how it was exclusive and stuff so People maybe dissapointed in this

Then my vidmasters would have been for nothing. I would have wasted around five hours on Annual alone...

Since you seem to "want" recon you must "want" a good gamerscore. Vidmasters wouldn't be a waste.

Recon won't matter when Halo: Reach comes out next year.

Halo Trial still matters to people that can't afford the new Halo Games.

There is always a place for something.

It would be false advertising, but there are many ways to bend that law.

Then how would they buy ODST if they couldn't afford the new Halo games?

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Those who don't have Recon and are complaining about Recon being unlockable through the Vidmasters are only whining because somehow they think that they will earn Recon from Bungie someday in the not to distant future (which you won't).

Am I right?

But they still can't afford it, so they can't get Recon. They are better off saving their money waiting for Reach. Besides, I got 130 dollars in just 2 weeks by doing odd jobs. I spent some before that, so I would have over 200 dollars. Like I said, they are better of waiting for Reach then.

Edit: I earned money that quick, why can't they?

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

Vidmaster Achievements: 0 G

Either way, I'm sure a lot of people won't simply buy ODST just for recon. If they wanted that, then could recover their profile on a friend's 360 and get the achievements there without buying ODST. I may sound like I'm crazy, but don't underestimate the loyal Bungie community. I am sure the majority of people will buy ODST for the game itself.

Think of it as this, Recon is Trial and Reach is the new games.

does that help understand it?

  • 07.08.2009 10:14 AM PDT

I think they only made it available because too many people who had recon were getting their accounts stolen. So by giving everybody a shot, they would be cutting down on stolen accounts

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


Yes it's only fair. People who earned Recon before ODST will be known for what they did to earn it, not the Recon itself. The Recon is like a trophy to them for what they did so they might wear it. Take Brysi for example (before the prank that failed horribly), people look up to him for his amazing songs about Halo 3, not for his stupid armor.

And who said the Vidmasters wouldn't be hard? You still have to EARN Recon in ODST through Vidmasters.

  • 07.08.2009 10:16 AM PDT

exactly. its not like bungies just giving out recon. you have to work. and i personally dont like recon anyway.

Those new Vidmasters are hell. I've seen them through "the video".

  • 07.08.2009 10:18 AM PDT

  • 07.08.2009 10:21 AM PDT

I believe that Brainpan has 25 G Reward.

I don't care about recon armor, but (and this doesn't really have anything to do with this thread and it probably should go in the Halo 3 forum) I don't like how everyone can get the katana now with all of the new achievements. I think the katana should only go to the people that complete the original achievements and get the original 1000 gamerscore. I had to work to get my katana, but now almost everyone has it because they can get easy achievements in social matches with friends.
