Subject: My opinion on the Vidmasters & Recon Helmet

whrn the zombies arise will you be ready? I know I will be...

I don't care if you don't agree with this, but this is my opinion on these matters.



Everybody just assumes that with ODST they will magically get recon, but they've said many times that it won't be easy. If anybody saw the leaked list of achievements, they noticed one was called Vidmaster: Classic, which is finish it on legendary, solo without using a gun or grenades, so basically all melee's. I know what your thinking. If they were linked, they are probably fake. I thought this too until I heard the bungie day podcast, and Marty mentioned one of the achievements with his name in it that was also in the leaked list. Coincidence? Maybe, but this is all speculation until the game comes out.

The point of this was that I am sick and tired of all these threads saying "ZOMG I'M SAD I DIDN'T PLAY BUNGIE AND GOTZ RECONZ :(" Even if you did play them, do you think you could honestly win and get recon? If you want it just go make an awesome map or take an awesome screenshot, cause if those achievements are true, there is no way in hell some people are going to get it at all, so stop complaining, its supposed to be a challenge, and not more Hayabusa.

Flame me all you want, I'm just sick and tired of annoying people wanting a god damn helmet for a video game, like come on!

I honestly don't understand it though. It's just a helmet. I'm sure somebody could do some kind of psychological research on this, like something about saying you can't have something makes people want it more, but I don't know.

Anyone who's gotten Active Camo in any MGS game knows this will be easy as pie.

Would you dance for it?

It seems like Bungie usually goes for 'Hard' acheivements instead of 'Redundantly Frustraiting'.

Like the Annual Vidmaster was difficult but I doubt Bungie would even make the last Vidmaster as hard as doing the whole campaign on Mythic.

Education is the most important thing in your life. Don't skip it for a video game.

Tada!

I don't even think Recon is cool looking anyway... in fact, it's rather lame looking. The only reason people want it is because it is some supposed symbol of your skill.

That is true, but they said it was only for people who deserved it and not just a Hayabusa clone. I don't think you would get t-bagged more, because if everybody has it like they claim, then its just like having a normal helmet. It's the flames that add +5000000 t-bagging.

also it just beat a level on leg and only use melee not the whole game. and also those acvmnts are real.

Actually, you just had to do one level like that. Not the entire game.

Here's the exact description: Finished any level solo on legendary, on LIVE, with no shots fired or grenades thrown.

Prepare to Drop

The thing is that although it's "just a helmet" reacon is very rare and thats why everybody wants it. Now that it's going to be much more availible with the release of ODST it's shininess will ware of due to the fact that many more peole have it and recon will just sink in to the fabric of everyday Halo and become just another helmet.

Check Out my FileShare.
I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

Another was Deja Vu (no Hog or Scorpion) SO I would just drive mah Hog on Legendary, WITH an NPC in the Turret lol. (NOT LIKELY TO HAPPEN but hey)

I still don't think those achievements were real. Compare the achievement grouping with halo 3. Halo 3's grouping is near, those are mixed up. Also, in halo 3 achievements they said online not LIVE.
