Subject: "Recon" in Reach, what would you want?

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

The Recon armor permutation in Halo 3 has long been seen as a sign of prestige (by some anyway...) But has its effect worn out? So, instead of Recon, how would you want to show that you've done something special?

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.

I hope Bungie learned from Halo 3 and don't have any exclusive armour permutations to give away. It only helps to create spam in these forums and of course is one of many reasons why xbox Live accounts get hacked.

I think Bungie should make a new 'recon' armor. Possibly have the original recon roll over from Halo 3 to Reach.

they should let you make your own armor, like Champions Onilne. that way you can really personalize your experience.

Not to mention elitism, unhealthy yearnings from the childrens, etc. etc.

No prestige items!! It's as simple as that.

Yeah. Agreed, all they need is some more craziness. All they would have to do is have some armor that would need some really tough achievements to unlock it. Kind of like Vidmaster once ODST comes out.

For armour permutations they need the ones from Halo 3 as default. Maybe have a few needing to be still unlocked plus a bunch-10 to 15- of distinct armour permutations that need to be unlocked via certain methods. The more "cooler" permutations needing crazy requirements like the Vidmaster Annual.

they should just have one armor like in halo1 and halo2.

The only thing they should keep is flaming head. No exclusive armor. I wouldn't even want anything as stupid as katana either.

BUNGIE BUNGIE BUNGIE BUNGIE...

they need to just make really hard achievements to unlock the special armor bungie employees have already, like make a seriously achievement but make it 3x harder so it would take at least a year to get it. :D

If they had something only they could give out (which I don't think they should do) it should be based off of actual Spartan armor like the Spartans in the Battle of Thermopylae.

  • 07.13.2009 5:41 PM PDT

It is what it is.

My real gamertag is Boomerf16.

If they do have an exclusive armor permutation they should actually make it awesome, like Hayabusa would be if everyone didn't have it. If they could make it actually look freakin' awesome it would be something I would really want.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

An exclusive armour permutation is fine by me.
