I've been hearing some rumors that you have to activate the recon on Bungie.net when you get Halo3 ODST.A couple of my friends told me that when you complete all of the vidmasters you have to go on Bungie.net and activate the recon armor somehow.

I'm just trying to find out if this is true because it could possibly affect me so I hope someone can clarify this for me.

Once ODST is released, and you complete all the Vidmater achievements, it will unlock for you. no Bungie.net needed.

Well, ODST will help unlock Recon and so would Vidmaster, but I think there may be more to it than just that.

Straight from Bungie.net:

For the first time, Recon Armor for use in Halo 3 multiplayer will be made available to players who complete the "Road to Recon" challenge. Earn all seven of the Vidmasters, a series of Xbox LIVE achievements that span Halo 3's Campaign and Multiplayer and Halo 3: ODST, and then visit your Bungie.net Service Record with a linked gamertag to enable your sweet new set of digital duds.

If you already own Halo 3, you can get started now by collecting the "Annual" campaign achievement and the "7 on the 7th" and "Lightswitch" multiplayer achievements in matchmaking. And, if you've already downloaded the Mythic Map Pack, you can collect the hidden skulls on Assembly, Orbital, and Sandbox today.

Well I was told that it won't be in your armor options and you'll have to go on Bnet.I personally heard this and thought it was bullcrap but I just wanted to make sure.

Unlock all the Vidmaster Achievements though Halo 3 Multiplayer and Halo 3: ODST. Once completed goto you're Bungie.net Account which is linked to you're Gamercard. On there, there will be a link (More than likely) to activate the Recon Armor in Game.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

Learn how to link your account. If it's on your parents' windows live ID, there is a way to transfer your gamertag, with their cooperation, of course. Just look it up in the searchbar.

arent we all already linked to our acounts. so why would we have to go to bungie.net

  • 07.10.2009 4:17 PM PDT

Road to Recon, never heard of that being a requirement. Thought that was a contest where you had a chance to Win Recon without the achievements needed to get it?
