Subject: Vidmaster Recon

Who gives a damn? Reach is coming out in a year, Recon won't mean anything then.

No, acnboy. Spartain Ken 15 is a lesser being. Much like the bacteria that lives in your shi­t.

My shi­t bacteria takes offense to that comparison.

Don't make me lel. You won't like me when I lel.

all right, im not gunna say i think its real but if the leaked achievments are, tell me, how easy do you think it will to beat a level on legendary with no shots fired and no gernades

Easy. Get a team together on the shortest mission, let 3 of them do the fighting while one of you does nothing. Repeat until you all have them.
Will take a while, but less frustrating than trying to do it yourself.

EDIT: O hai wolver. Hows Memoirs coming along? Actually is ther going to be more Insurrection soon, I wouuld really like more on that plz.

You face an opponent who has never known defeat, who laughs in foreign tongues at your efforts to survive. This is Reply suicide.

While anyone may be able to attain Recon, I don't think the cheaters, boosters, and banned people will get access to it, regardless.

This, of course, knocks me out of ever having it, but I don't mind that much.

Personally, I'd rather wear my Hayabusa with Katana, because I feel more ninja that way. Yes, even though I'm only a mediocre player.

On top of that, I do all the achievements for fun.

I must've done Annual like 3 times by now. I got my achievement the first time. I helped two other friends get it (all three times, I'm apparantly the only one who knows how to drive a Ghost and the route to get out).

I would also have to agree with the "skill enough to complete Annual". A lot of people just are NOT skilled or patient enough to do it.

My average run-through of it was about an hour and a half. It's a level that would take 20 minutes at most, and it takes an hour and a half.

It takes this long because for some reason, people can't drive the ghosts at the end. And they have no idea what the most efficient and fastest route to the end is. Combine this factor with 4 players trying it... And you're going to have some incredibly frustrated people with almost no patience.

My teams almost quit on me during my three runs. Saying things like, "This is so hard!", "You guys suck, keep up!", and "I'm sick of this stupid run, I don't want to do it anymore!". I'd have to remind them constantly that the sooner we finished it, the sooner they could quit. I had to remind them that if they quit, right there in front of the finish line, I wasn't going to help them again when they decided to try again.

Without someone to push you at the finish line like that, you probably would give up. Especially if the players aren't that good to begin with.

So, even though the amount of Recon users will increase dramatically... Rest assured that not EVERYONE will have it.

Achieving the remaining Vidmasters will require a great deal of skill and patience, I'm sure.
Like someone said earlier, remember the 1st time you did Vidmaster Challenge: Annual.


I completely agree.

I think they should just make you beating the vidmaster acheivments and when ODST comes out nobody gets recon they just have to get it by doing the vidmaster achievments

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.


good points. and the first timme i played annual my team was done within the hour. its not that hard. but some struggle. So I doubt everyone will get it. some wont even know you have to go to bungie.net to activate it.

Yeah, because we all know that weird guys on youtube always speak the truth.

Posting on bungie.net should require that the user has had to have read a chapter book all the way through.

They could be something insane. Like beet fire fight. (That was a joke if you couldn't tell)

Maybe something like beet ODST without shooting.

;)

It might be easier than you think actually. I mean sure, if you had to do a level like crowsnest with no shots fired and no grenades that'd be damned impossible. But think Tsavo Highway: just sit in your vehicle the entire level.

Endure is an achievement in Halo 3: ODST and one of the Vidmaster challenges. It is unlocked when you play on Firefight, on any mission, and pass the 4th set on 4 player Heroic co-op Live. It is worth 25 Gamerpoints.[1]
---------------
Déjà Vu is an achievement in Halo 3: ODST and one of the Vidmaster challenges. It is unlocked when you complete Highway on 4-player Legendary Live co-op, with Iron skull activated, and not using the Warthog or Scorpion at all. It is worth 25 Gamerpoints.
---------------
It is unlocked when you complete any level solo on Legendary, without firing a shot or throwing grenades. It is worth 25 Gamerpoints. Note: you can still melee (it is suggested to use a Gravity Hammer or Energy Sword) or splatter. However, a Gravity Hammer is more likely than a Energy Sword, due to Brutes replacing the Elites in the game.

True, there are ways to move to check points without killing/engaging any enemies. In SLASO thats all you did, move from check point to check point.
