Subject: Will the Recon Legacy die with the release of Halo 3: ODST?

In Halo 3, only those of well-deserving fortune would achieve the holy bestowel of Reacon.

With the release of ODST, many people that play Halo on a daily basis will quickly achieve this great honor. Since more and more people will be able to use Reacon, will it continue on as the rarest and most respected armor in the game, will it lose most of its hype but still remain "Koolio", or will it be so common that your entire team that kills each other in a ranked playlist will have Recon.

Maybe with the release of ODST, they'll have another rare armor in it or on Reach.

I am a Sangheili, we show no mercy, and we never will.

I agree, but i do play it mostly custom games though, and yes the Recon armor will unfortunately become the new hayabusa armor

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

It already has. Ever since the Bungie vs. The World playlist last month, too many players have recon.

I've started to see more and more accounts for sale, more and more players charging to 1 v 1, and more and more players to act like jerks over a virtual armor.

Although I thought it was fine before the playlist came out, now I'm glad that their giving it away in the game.

my friends and I do alot of stuff we make some vids about different things in campaign easter eggs and other stuff its alot of fun :D

my point is that halo reach is comeing out with a whole new multiplayer, meaning haveing recon in halo 3 will become pointless so there giveing it to everyone.

then it will be replaced by super oba armour in reach

I really don't think it will become as popular as you think after the release of Halo 3: ODST. There's many players who think Recon will become "the new Hayabusu", but as of yet, we are unaware of the full requirements to receive Recon. Sure, we have fulfilled the first criteria (earn the three available Vidmasters), and the Brainpan Achievement is already known, but there's still the three ODST Vidmaster achievements to come, which could be extremely challenging.

I think that once we find out what the next three ODST Vidmaster achievements are, we'll be able to judge how many players will actually earn the armour. It could be something like finishing Halo 3: ODST Mythic Style (SLASO: Solo Legendary All Skulls On), or any other equally challenging goal.

Everyone should just wait until we know all the details before jumping to conclusions. :)

Think of 4 players on Squad Battle all saying REC0NZ IS B3ST.
Every time I get on I have three kids voice spamming me where to get free Recon, and others asking if anyone needs to know where the skulls are the whole match.

Check Out my FileShare.
I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

I don't think it will be. At least not for the first few months. People will not realize they need to go to B.Net to activate the armor.

i think it will only a little bc. the vidmasters from waht i've herd are quite tough so it would be cake getting Recon.

It will turn into what the katana was b4 it.
Then bungie makes something different for themselves..
Then they give it out to selected people.
Then everyone wants it.
Then everyone gets it.
Start again.

It will die...YES...

At least there wont be any more Recon topics, I hope.

  • 08.07.2009 2:27 AM PDT

It's not totally free nor easy to get, even through the Vidmaster Challenges.
You will still have to earn Recon.

i wish the vidmasters didnt give out recon, recon should stay the armor that nobody can have, everybody will have recon and soon it will just be another same permulation

Im expecting that too, even if i had recon i wouldnt wear it because then EVERYBODY would wear recon. i also think it is unfair to the people who got recon before bungie vs world that when odst comes out almost everyone will have recon

Bungie handles Recon. I think they know how they'd like to give it away.

If the leaked Vidmasters is true eventually, then getting Recon on Halo 3: ODST will not be super easy.

I prefer using this account.

I dont think its going to be like everyone having it. The vidmaster achievements should be REALLY hard.

Typing in random letters = somewhat coherent username!

Once we have recon people will just start asking for the flaming helmet...

"When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give EL1TE SUPR3MACY lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

I'm fairly confident that Halo 3 will be on it's last leg by the time ODST is released. Giving players the chance to earn Recon might just delay its inevitable fate.
