Ok, so im sick of seeing these all over the ODST forms. now, correct me if im wrong.... YOU can still get RECON through the VIDMASTERS no matter what BAN you have. its just like unlocking security armor.. and all the other armor...

now unless a ninja or a bungie member corrects me, im correct.

You're wrong. On the Weekly Update a while back, it said if you're on 'The List,' you won't be able to obtain Recon via any method.

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.

Owned.
Put your worries to bed, everyone.

Shut up.

If you've been banned, you can still get Recon for doing the Vidmasters.

Unless it's really serious, like modding all of the Achievements for Halo 3, or something really bad like that.

I know you can. If you're on The List, you can't get Recon armor. Go ask an employee.

Oh, I see what you meant. I apologize. You mean the list, as in "The List", the one for the really, really bad people, right?

Not the "Not that bad but still punishable list", correct?

the list is for modders, nor boosters

People who got EXP banned aren't on The List. There's one list that is for people who did very bad things, and will never get Recon.

To the best of my knowledge, you can get Recon by unlocking the Vidmaster achievements.

Yes, but if you're on The List, you can't. By being on The List I mean, you modded achievements, or asked Bungie for Recon.
