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

Didn't know that a armor permutation for a video game had a legacy?

I dont know, if you ask me they are going to make these last vidmasters the hardest yet. The RUMORED vidmasters no noob could do. They would at least have to be brigadier or maybe upper colonel level to stand a chance against these SPECULATED achievments.

Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

I hope it does. I think it's sad how so many people would give their left nut to get a peice of virtual clothing on a video game character that you cannot even see while you play.

To each their own I guess.

I earned Recon!
OXM, thanks for the mythic code!

I dont think Recon will become the new hayabusa in my opinion. I was never a fan of hayabusa to start with, if hayabusa was the exclusive armour instead of recon, I wouldnt care at all. I'd just wear recon, because I actually like the look of recon. The only reason I'd want hayabusa is the fact I dont have it, so I want it, if I had it though, I wouldnt wear it. The only thing I'd wear is the body plate.
Besides, if the vidmasters for ODST are true, then I dont think everyone could get it, if you havent noticed, all the other vidmasters can be completed due to teamwork..., so that means some people who have the vidmasters so far, could have perhaps done nothing at all, just used his friends to help him get to lieutenant, get 7exp, and you obviously need help to get the annual achievement anyway.

i dont think it will lose its coolness and respect because the vidmasters are gonna be really hard to get and it'll be at least a half a month before anybody gets it

  • 08.07.2009 8:47 AM PDT

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.

Bungie must update their armor to blue flaming helmets, then give away the flaming recon as the new recon, obviously giving flaming recon to everyone that has recon now. Or they could give away a super awesome melee where your guy takes out a knife and slashes, instead of normal melee. Wouldn't give combat advantage but it would look cool.

Everybody acts as if it's going to be very easy, I hope that it becomes insanely challenging so only a few people can get it. Only 1,000 people out of 750,000 people have Recon, that's not a lot. I can't wait to laugh at all of the people that achieve all of the vidmasters and not get the armor, then they'll make posts all over Bnet, not realizing that they have to link their account to get it. XD

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

I honestly hope they do have a new armour for Reach.

Or even better, they lock Recon or Hayabusa. That'd be funny.

You know you are good at GH3 when you can have a "bad" run on through the fire and flames

Its all going to come down to the achievements. If bungie makes the achievements hard to get, not as many people will be able to unlock it, and it will still be somewhat rare.

Recon in ODST is going to be like the katana of Halo 3.

I dont give a crap about fictional armour. >:C

Come Here for my Halo 3 Stats and Fileshare:

Everyone will have it once ODST comes out, so it will most likely lose it's charm.

I believe Bungie may do a replacement for it's rarity, however. Flaming Chest, anyone? (most likely not :/)

Who cares child its armor.

actually the katana is much more easier to get now because all you need is 1000 halo 3 gamerscore and i think theres about 1575 G in total.

They have stated that would never happen. Imagine the lag of 16 flaming chest plates.

(Bungie > 343i)

Hopefully it dies down, never really thought it was that amazing.
