Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

Super cool.

When I eventually get my own shiny set of recon, which I'm sure will be years from now when everyone else and their moms already have it because I just suck, I'll come back here to look back on the time when recon was just a legend.

I'm so over all of this.

Funny thing is, I only recall about 2-3 games I've played since unlocking my Recon, where the other team didn't have at least one guy wearing full Recon. I don't know whether or not people are wearing it because they've never had the option to before, or whether they think that it's still so rare that wearing it will get them recognized.

Regardless, I have stuck with what I have always said, I got it for the left shoulder. I am very tempted to wear the chest regularly, but other than that, I'm not very interested.

I still get the "OMG you have Recon." comments from people.

Really? That's odd.
Considering since day 3 of Halo 3: ODST about 61600 people had Recon outside of Bungie.
Recon is still most probably the most uncommon armor permutation people have obtained. Yet I would have figured most all Halo players would have picked up on the 'lolrecon' attitude. Glad they haven't.

Nice job. I will save this because the text looks pretty...

Later. ODST is released. People are earning (yes, I said EARNING) Recon via vidmaster achievements. Man puts up a guide to the Endure achievement which, of course, is needed for Recon.
o hai, that's me! =)

Too much to read no doubt, but everything i want to know is in one place. Definitely have this thread saved.

You could try to hack your admin. What OS are you on? Vista, XP, other?

I think iggy is a pretty cool guy, eh encourages hacking and doesn't afraid of anything.

It seems like it's finally gotten to the point where people are understanding that it's not great to have. Sometimes people even flame you a little bit if you wear any Recon. I wear the shoulders and the chest and I get crap from time to time. But then again, it's most likely strategic trash-talking.
