Those hell-bounded-squeaky-voiced-little brats won't get recon because they'll never get the Classic achievement.

  • 07.18.2009 10:14 AM PDT

With how hard they are this will likely happen to only a handfull of more people. But I did want to actually earn it T_T

Why hello there, and welcome to my account details!

i personaly dont think all the little kids can get all the vidmasters idk they seem a little challenging (no sarcasm)

  • 07.18.2009 11:10 AM PDT

I'm most likely only going to wear the shoulders if I even have a chance of getting them. As for not wanting to hear people brag just do one of these:
1.Mute them
2.If it's Xbox Live messages block communications
3.Rip your ears off (I think that might help
4.Turn off the Xbox

Recon won't be a walk in the park for most people. I remember on one of the podcasts the guys said something about the number of people who have unlocked all the vid-master achievements in Halo 3 so far recently. They basically said that not a very large percentage of players have actually unlocked them.

And I'm sure ODST will be harder so don't expect everyone to have Recon a week after ODST is released.

if there noobs theny thay cant get it

anual is hard to get, VARY HARD

Would you dance for it?

I think the real danger is if Bungie makes the last few vidmasters super difficult to complete.

Then is would be esaier to get the current way then through the Vidmasters.

Like: Be ranked among the top 7 squads inn firefight. Or complete the campaign in 7777 seconds (2 hrs 9 mins.)

Im tired of people saying recon will be like hayabusa or the katana. Alot of people who will get it with the vidmaster achievments wont rub it in other peoples faces (not counting the little 5 year olds that think getting full scout armor is something to brag about). It looks really cool and i think making recon unlockable was a good idea. Its not like bungie just cant make new armor or anything.


well i think someone already said this but ill say it too, bungie has already said that they cant put any more armor perms on halo because the game cant run more armor (somethin along those lines)
but bungie still has good ol' flamin chests

Who said the vidmasters were going to be easy?

bungie would lose a fourth of the community
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.

=S

True, some people wont get odst on its first week of sale, people who get it are most likely to get it first, some people might not be able to obtain the game, they wont get it that easily

Why does the xbox live mic make every pre-pubesint little kid have a stopped up nose and meatwad voice. I mean they all sound EXACTLY the same. EXACTLY



I know that's the wierdest thing!


i freakin hate it, why do they all have mics

  • 07.19.2009 8:22 AM PDT

The solution to this is Halo Reach! By the time everyone gets Recon Reach will be out, or atleast the Beta and after the Beta there will only be a few months for the little kids to brag about Recon.

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

I gave up on recon. There is no way I can do all the vidmasters. There designed to be the hardest achevements so not all the noobs will get them.

And have you ever heard of mute?

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


Especially considering people haven't even done annual yet, which is easy in comparison.

  • 07.19.2009 8:54 AM PDT

If your that concerned about squeaky voices bragging, just ruin Christmas for them, that'll shut them up for awhile.

I dont think classic will be hard actually. Halo 3 ODST is more about stealth than Halo 3 since ODSTs are weaker so you can probably avoid enemies in a lot of areas. Also wasn't one of the mission in halo 3 a cutscene? The achievement might unlock if you watch a cutscene on legendary difficulty. Also if theres a mission like cortana, you can just run through it trying to avoid everything.

Deja Vu is the most I'm worried about, I tried to get annual 3 times, but the first time my team sucked, the second time someone left early. The final time took me an hour and 45 min to do so total I think I spent like 4 hrs trying to do it.

Endure sounds easy, Im not going to worry about it.

So more ten year olds my have it then you think.

NY Giants
Miami Heat

Most little kids have yet to accomplish some of the current vidmasters, the ODST ones triple in difficulty.

  • 07.19.2009 9:02 AM PDT

Deja Vu sounds equal to the Annual achievement to me so I dont think they're that harder. Endure sounds pretty easy to me, its just 4 rounds of heroic difficulty enemies with some random skulls on. If you hijack a wraith or something in it it'll be easy since all the enemies spawn downhill.

Those Vidmasters can't be easily completed by some random five-year-old. If one does happen to get it, they had some major help from older friends with the time, generosity, and skill to get them for him/her.

  • 07.19.2009 9:15 AM PDT

I hope it dont take me four freakin hours to get deja vu, and your right the first time i tried to get it I was playing with 9 year olds because I couldnt find anyone else willing to do it cause it was a pain in the arse. So they may get the achievement that way. BUT I'm am not playing with nine year olds again because they are worthless and die every three seconds.
