Subject: getting recon

As most of us know if you complete the vidmaster achievement you the recon armour. Just now the only is if you win against a bungie employee or do something amazing/funny for the halo3 community. But when odst comes out all have do is get a bunch of achievements! I'm mean is bungie going bring out a new armor to make us want. I know there will be alot of peolpe who can't wait to get recon but I think it ruins the whole point of recon EXCLUSIVITY

PS sorry for any spelling mistake

Yes, it ruins the appeal of the armour, but people wouldn't stop complaining that they couldn't have it so now everyone does.

There will be no new armours in Halo 3 because it's simply not possible to add new varients.

Noobs can't handle AR/Pistol Spawns.

Yeah Im happy they are just giving it out. I'm sorta tired of the recon fanboys... I do personally go OOH RECON when Im playing with someone who has it. I don't even like the armor to much. I just think its cool to see rare things.And Recon IMO is rare. But soon, it woulnt be and it will be Hayabussa(sp) version 2.

No one said getting the Achievements will be easy!
It could be something like "Reach wave 250 of Firefight on Legendary using only Pistols, all skulls and no deaths!"

Crazy inpossible ones like that!

You don't get recon for beating bungie employees.

Are you saying that there are some more vidmaster achievment that we dont know about yet to be released? I think you may be mistaken my friend. If you read 'road to recon' on the ODST page it says you only need the current vidmasters to aquire recon.

bungie has not yet released the Achievements.
We need all 7.
That's 4 in ODST.

While there may be "Official Leaks". There are about 5 of those leaks, all with different, most likely fake achievements.

What about: After ODST Bungie stop supporting Halo 3, everyone will move to Halo: Reach when it comes out and that there will be something for us with Reach?

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

From what I know there are three more VidMaster Challenges coming with ODST aside from VidMaster Brainpan.

The three others are:
VidMaster Challenge Endure: "On Firefight, on any mission, pass the 4th set on 4-player Heroic LIVE co-op."
VidMaster Challenge Deja Vu: "Complete Highway on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and no 'Hog or Scorpion."
VidMaster Challenge Classic: "Finish any level solo on Legendary, on LIVE, with no shots fired or grenades thrown."

you get recon on special occasions with bungie. ie BvW, 2v2 challenge, etc.

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

They don't need a new armor, because after ODST, they'll stop working on Halo 3 altogether and finish Reach for next year's release.
