Bungie said that the players who got an EXP Ban or Boosting Ban can still earn Recon. Bungie said that those players already had there punishments...

My friend had a two-day EXP ban and still got Recon by beating Bungie. So, EXP bans don't seem to count, thank god.

  • 07.13.2009 5:11 PM PDT

ha lucky him...

i think the increase the first time xp ban from 2 day to 2 weeks.

BUNGIE BUNGIE BUNGIE BUNGIE...

Bungie weekly update 5/22/09
you can still get recon via vidmasters even if you got an exp ban before.

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.

look at this From update (5/22/09).


For those wondering if that means they're on The List - the compilation of names we've collected of players who might never receive Recon via any method - the answer is probably no. We typically reserve those line items for the really egregious offenders, for example, players who convinced themselves it was a great idea to mod their way to the achievements that aren't available through official means just yet.

But if you've been banned for EXP boosting, your penalty has already been delivered. If you lost your File Share privileges, the consequences of your actions have already been realized. You can still have Recon come Fall, as long as you complete all of the Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST achievements required, just like everyone else.

And this isn't your cue to message us asking for a detailed itemization of each and every ban type for severity so you can determine if you have made The List. If your punishment was only temporary, or was confined only to Bungie.net, chances are you have nothing to worry about.

Can Bungie show me the list? ;)


Anyone, and everyone, who is not a Bungie Employee and sees the list simultaneously incinerates into nothing. That or they will never be able to eat cake.

Wait what?

Seriously, no one gets to see it.

lmfao funny(he set it so that it doesnt have a specific profile ID for it to go to so it just goes to the profile that clicked the link)

but seriously, if your going to buy a game just to get an armor permutation on another, you're an idiot and if you happen to be on a ban list, u deserve to have wasted your money for just trying to get the armor.

I honestly could care less about Recon, I'm buying ODST for the Campaign and Firefight, so I can play with my best friend. But first I need to get the thing fixed. 2 full years, the whole warranty! :D VICTORY IS MINE MICROSOFT YOU BASTARDS!!!!

Who exactly is buying this game just to get a couple achievements to unlock digital armor in a video game? I sure as hell wouldn't spend $60 on that...

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.

Indeed. Even if they did cheat, they don't deserve to have $60= dollars taken from them, if they are only getting it for Recon.

Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, dance like noones watching.

List will be gone come sept 22nd. They already said everyone will have it. EVERYONE!!!!!!
where did you see that?


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"

I'm not saying that this mod is wrong, but moderators are not Bungie employees and therefore cannot be reliable sources. If however a moderator said that he heard an employee say, "Recon will be available if you get all the vids. Enough said," than it would be completely reliable.

If you are on the list then you NEVER get Recon.

The List is reserved for serious offenders. If you hacked your account for the new achievements, then you are on the List. However, if you have been File Share/EXP banned, then your punishment has been served, and you can still have Recon.

Halo 3: Lone Wolves - 44
Team Slayer - 38
Team Doubles - 46
Team Snipers - 25
MLG - 20
Team SWAT - 28
Halo: Reach: Brigadier Grade 2 - 73% Armory Completion

actually your completly wrong about the list. you dont get on it for little things like EXP bans or fileshare bans
