Subject: Vidmaster Recon

I love Bungie and if you have a problem well then S C R 3 W you!

As you know completing the Vidmaster Achievements gives u recon,but I think it shouldnt.Mostly because Recon is like a symbol.It shows rareness,determination,and hardwork.Thats the main reason people want Recon not because of the way it looks.Now when HALO ODST comes out everyones gonna have Recon.2 months later its just gonna be some other armor.Bungie if your reading this give it a second thought before you give out Recon for completing Vidmaster achievements.1 more thing.Halo players you have to stop bothering Bungie for Recon.No matter how many times you ask your not gonna get Recon like that.Really think about it would you like millions of people bothering you for something 24/7.So really come on give them a break.

Actually I would prefer if Recon armor was easier to get so there wouldn't be 8 thousand threads a day whining about how someone doesn't have it. But I get the feeling we'll still have idiots complaining about how the vidmaster challenges are too hard and that it should be easier. Oh well.

Hmm... The Vidmaster achievements. No determination and hard work, huh? Try to remember the first time you completed Annual.

Think about this: How many people out there actually have the skill to play on Legendary? Out of those people, how many of them have three other friends who are that good? Finally, how many of those people have the patience to play the final level of the game with the Iron skull on?

Many people haven't unlocked Vidmaster Annual. And that achievement is required for unlocking Recon.

I think after ODST will be out people will still complain that you have to have your gamertag linked to bungie.net to get it

Glad you brought this up, i have a speel on it. Put simply recon will be the old secrurity but harder. Bungie isnt going to give it without a fight. The SPECULATED vidmaster achievements involve a hard challange that must be completed without help. I have great trust in these speculations but i cannot go out and say for sure that they are real.

Hopefully i didnt break any forum rules

wait, so what you are saying is that Bungie should some how message every halo 3 player and say that the new vidmasters will be for nothing?......one more thing, Bungie might be doing this so they don't get annoying messages like, "can I haz reconz?", and "give us recon!".........just think about that

I kinda agree with you. All the vidmasters so far require teamwork, (Luckily all my friends love halo and are always willing to help their friends to get any achievements, so I had no problem with who could help me).

I have actually seen the leaked vidmasters and if they're real, you wont have to worry about teamwork for one of the 3 vidmasters... This is a good thing I think, because you alone show you have the skill and determination to earn recon, not your friends, if this achievement is real or perhaps another achievement similar to this, Bungie have definately done the right thing and kept recon as a reward for hardwork.

The other vidmasters so far can be earned with teamwork (Annual: 3 friends can do the work for you. Lightswitch: Keep playing a playlist with your friends and keep winning matches until you get lieutennant. 7 on 7: Play with you friends on a playlist until you get 7exp. Brainpan: Get your friends to get the skulls for you).

Bungie are releasing the armour through the vidmasters because people were complaining so much and there was somthing about the law being involved and getting messy

Age does not define skill. There are kids half my age who are three times better than me.

Sure, we are going to see an increase in the number of Recon wearers, but not everyone will have it. It's not going to be like Hayabusa was. Recon will take effort to unlock.

It's too late. The damage has been done. Damn Recon. The person I hate the most got it at Bungie vs the world. And now he thinks I'm jealous. I might be jealous if he got it when Recon ment something. Fuc you LinkedSora.

How the hell could the law get involved, they have the right to give and the right to take back. No exception.

well now everybody can complete the vidmaster achevements its like not many people have the katana from the halo 3 achevements anyway...

  • 08.07.2009 1:34 PM PDT

Recon amor is not a symbol. It is a privlage. Anyways Bungie feels as though they need to give back to the community for staying by them for so long. Now you will have the privlage to unlock recon.

Dont ask me I read it somewhere a couple months back because I had the same oppinion but after I read that I let it go cause afterall if people are that much obsessed with it that they'd do such a thing then there's not alot worth complaining about the damage is done anyway no turning back now.

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

Too Late Friend. The guys that have it now have been exclusive long enough.

And.Please remember to space out paragraphs and stop run on sentances because it gets really annoying with walls of text like this see how hard it is to read mirite?

I don't agree, i've done all vidmasters (avalible at the moment) for recon and u should deserve recon for the hard work u put in the vidmasters. i agree it will become old in the next 6 months. not 2 months because they are hard like all vidmasters r.

  • 08.07.2009 2:51 PM PDT

I hate the BR

I agree with Jac the one thing I cant stand is Recon Fanboys on xbox live when all I want to do is play a game of matchmaking I mean really it is just an armor nothing different. I hope that all you guys work hard on those achievements because right now I would rather sell my recon for map pack 3 for call of duty.

Imagine the irony
