Subject: Why do people say recon will be overused?

How's it going?

MOST everyone says that Recon Armor will be overused once ODST releases, which may or may not happen. We still overlook the complication of the "Vidmaster's." They will be extremely difficult and from what I hear, Bungie will be adding new ones that will be extremely hard to achieve. Therefor, Recon armor will still be a hard armor to get, making it less likely that it is used as much as Hayabusa...

Proof of Bungie adding more... besides the ODST and the Halo 3 ones.

I wish I was still legendary.

The 'leaked' achievements, if real, look relatively difficult. I think it'll keep a LOT of the younger players from running round in full recon screaming, but the older, immature players...not so much.

It is what it is.

My real gamertag is Boomerf16.

Yeah, it's pretty much going to be Halo fanboys on these forums that get Recon plus a few others. OVer the months after release the number will slowly increase but it'll never be at the popularity level of Hayabusa (in my opinion).

Wayne Jarvis, Attorney at Law; I have a responsibility to tell you that there is no candy in this office.

I predict there will be a lot of, "Give me your password, I'll recover your account and do the Vidmasters for you, (wink wink)"

I must be like Nostradamus

Heh heh, new Vidmaster from Bungie: "Eat this Crunchy Chicken... It will amuse us"

There is a certain point of tolerance that should never be reached.

I think Being able to unlock recon ruins it.

The coolest thing about it was Hazing Reconz liek Nobdez elz!

It's like everybody being really smart, then nobody is uber smart.

I really dont know why people say this but I don't care how many people will have it. I just like the way it looks. Most of these people act like they'll be able to get all of the vidmasters in their first sitting of playing or something.

First or not, I just want to beat all the challenges! I move to another province afterwards... after I'm done beating them all I will be proud to wear Recon, because I took on a challenge set forth by Bungie.

Recon will not become the Next Hyabusa because it is still a gift, from the creators of the game to us.
