I fail to see how you can assume everyone will have it- based on what the vidmasters are.

I do agree with the "little boy" concept. On the other hand it would suck to have other people claiming different armor just to rub it in. Now That would get annoying!

It's going to be like the new Hayabusa, alot of hackers will stop hacking the Recon awarded accounts and earn it legally. Bungie is unnable to add new armor permutations to Halo 3 because the game itself already contained Recon. + Halo 3 isn't compatible with new armors.
It will be like when Hayabusa gone gold, it will hold for a week or a month.

ya like i can c alot of nubly bubblys having the aromor but i had to help a whole lot with my friends who are decent to get most of there achievments.

  • 07.18.2009 12:55 AM PDT

the only way this would happen is if

A: Bungie gave out the flaming chest piece that's only given to Bungie employees. NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

B: there's an armor variant that Bungie has somehow managed to keep quiet since Halo 3 came out, and they've never worn it and never even mentioned it in passing. EXTREMELY UNLIKELY.


fact is, we're just gonna have to accept that Recon is no longer valuable.

EDIT: i'm talking about the super spartan master chief ultra super elite laser armor idea.

Who knows, Bungie could be designing a new armor for themselves so they can give out flame chestpeaces.
no.

Bungie has stated before that they won't be making any new armor perms.

like i said, the only plausible way for it to happen would be if they had some super secret armor that's never even left the vault and has somehow gone unnoticed since Halo 3 came out.

and like i said, that's extremely unlikely.

I want my steaks Luke...

I see your point...
But your point also works against your theory,
If everybody were to have recon, no one would hack accounts for it,
Machinima qualities would go up due to the drastic decrease of poor videos that were attempts to get the armor, so greater vids like red vs blue and such would feel the space of youtube,
map makers that create from imagination and do so to please their own desires for gametypes that are fun will be the only ones making maps, no more garbage pile spam maps trying to get attention, people making pictures will only be the ones that do so to see the warm felt appreciation from the community or will be the ones to make hilarious pictures of amazement, and most importantly, the inboxs of bungie employees will be spam free, and bungie will find peace among the community.

Ok this is an update of the forum i posted on the halo ODST/ Reach group. Unfortuanatley, not alot of people go on the group's forums.

Ok well we all know the noob dream is to have recon armor. But dont you think that when ODST comes out and every little kid in the known world comes online with recon armor talkin trash with their nasely little voices in the lobbies, its gonna get old.

Then Bungie comes out in the blog or E3 talking about, super spartan master chief ultra super elite laser armor. Only awarded when you meet a bungie staff, take him to a brunch-in, a movie, and not call him the next day.

If not, bungie would lose a fourth of the community who make machinimas and maps just for the possibility of being noticed by a staff and getting that rare prize just to rub it in peoples faces and get all the "glory."

What do you think?

Reply freely =)

I can't believe they did the "Annual" achievement AGAIN as "De javu"! Now I have to do 4-player-XboxLive-Legendary-Iron-Halo thing all over again! So much for 'giving' away Recon (as other players say)

You mean a quarter?

=P

I think it'll still hold some form of mystery about it. The less-skilled players will struggle to get it, providing the "zomg MLG hax" players don't boost their achievements with them. Then again, good luck to those doing the solo Vidmasters. Bwaha.

But yes, I still think Recon should be given out to everyone. It would be a shame to lose a large number of people because they cannot ever have the armour.

Then again, I can't talk for many. I already have it, so I'm not at a loss either way.

Honestly I think they could do something to make pre-odst recon owners noticeable. Their are rumors going around.But you can never trust rumors.Bungie obviously knows what they are doing.

I got it by Bungie day, but I have helped two friends with their videos. One I'm sure you know omfg Carnage's video, the second one is the first video in my file share.How did you get your secret arbitur armour?

But besides that people have to see it from the eyes of people who already have it and have worked very hard to get it, I know I would love to have something special to have when it comes out. Also if their is another armour then people would want to work for that armour and having a brand new game to work with it would make it a lot better.
