Subject: How Not to get Recon. Weekly Update 4/18/08

Spartans don't DIE...They go to Hell & Regroup !!!

The List is not a Happy place. If you're on it, you'll never have Recon. If we were to flip a switch 1 morning & unlock Recon on every 360 in the world, you would still not have it. People who are caught lying end up on The List. People who are caught cheating end up on The List. Peopel who are banned from Matchmaking for any period of time are on The List. You don't want to be on The List.

I was wondering if anyone wanted to comment on this paragraph that Bungie made in a weekly update back on 4/18/08. It would be nice to know where Bungie stands on this topic since the ODST release date is right around the corner. There are some people out there that have been put on this LIST & if they are buying ODST to finish off the Vidmaster Achievements so they can unlock recon. If recon isn't going to be avalible to them then they have the right to know in advance, before they spend there hard earned money on this game.

If you have any comments or thoughts about this topic lets here it.
Please no trolling & Bungie if you are out there lets here what you haver to say.

Edit: If you are going back to the 4/18/08 Weekly Update & you can't find this paragraph, scroll down to "How Not to get Recon" read for a few minutes & you eventually come across this paragraph.

I think we should let people know about if you have been banned you cant get recon, because it will not be right if they only bought the game for recon and could not get it. i know some people think that it was there own fault for getting banned but, they still have the right to know.

I think this list is just for contests and what not. If you get achievements and Bungie says that if you complete the achievements you will get Recon, you will get Recon. It is programmed into the game to give you Recon if you get all the Vidmaster achievements. The list isn't programmed into the game, they just look over it to see if the winner of OMFG itz Reconz contest was eligible to win it. Is that clear?

Wrong. When you get the vidmasters you have to go to Bungie.net and do something(can't remember what) Then you will get Recon. So I think this means, if you are on the list you can't get Recon even with ODST.

i believe it was stated that even if your banned, you can still get it.dont quote me on that

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

I think that was an EXP ban, (or perhaps a forum ban), but DEFINITELY not a matchmaking ban.

I'm guessing you will have to sign up if you want Recon.

I doubt if you have to go to bungie.net because that would just make a hell of a lot of confusion for people who don't know how to link their gamertags. And they would be expecting it too because it was in the "searching for a match" screen" so they know it's not a lie until they find out they don't have it. They'll complain to Bungie just to hear "You haz to link your gamertagz". WTF does that mean?! Way too much confusion. Therefore you are wrong, you don't not have to go to bungie.net after you get the Vidmasters.

I remember reading a thread a while ago asking:

"If I get all the Vids and I'm on the BL, will I still get RECON".

A mod replied:
"Recon will be available if you get all the vids. Enough said"
