Subject: What happens to Recon?

War, War never changes.

Got my Recon from the Vidmaster achievments, like most.
Reach IS awesome, don't deny it

With the one without firin a shot, you could jus go on a level where you only play rookie, at least that way, since its open world, you can take different routes if one is blocked

That doesnt constitute a mission

It would still be rare. The combining factors are: The sheer amount of people who got banned, and the difficulty of the Vidmasters.

Deja Vu? I'm guessing an ODST vidmaster, but I've been gone for awhile so I haven't been on bungie.net. Was there a list of ODST vidmasters somewhere?

Even that was risky in my opinion

  • 08.09.2009 12:49 PM PDT

it's not something you can be banned for according to http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?link=H3Bans

sorry if i sound llike a noob but what vidmasters... have they announced the achivments... i like achivments :D

  • 08.09.2009 1:02 PM PDT

Even then though. almost nobody will have recon anyway. Apparently a really tiny proportion of people have got annual, like less then a percent.

  • 08.09.2009 1:19 PM PDT

recon wont be really cool because everybody will have it, so whats the point of the vidmasters in odst

Pick any of the other ten.. no wait, twenty threads that are identical to this one.

You dont deserve my speel on this

  • 08.09.2009 1:26 PM PDT

it said not firing any weapons and dont throw nades but it never said we cant melee

  • 08.09.2009 1:45 PM PDT

Halo=The best game series EVER!
Bungie=Bungie's so awesome I have no words
Finished Halo: Reach campaign legendary solo!

think about it. hardly anyone has vidmaster annual. about 1/4 or probably less of the halo population, who would have the time and patience for it. i have all available vidmasters at the moment. and vidmasters will be hard, as they always have been. so i would think in the next 6 months from odsts date maybe even a year will have recon, and it will become old, but who cares. ill stick to my good old rogue and katana armor after. just think about it like that.

How's it going?

Recon will most likely, never become overused becuase of the EXTREMELY hard Vismaster's...

You can hardly melee two grunts to death in legendary, especially with the rumored odst less melee damage thing going around. And with health you cant just brush off hits like you did in halo 3 legendary. They will stack up and kill you.

So fightings out of the question and so is healing. You still think its going to be easy.
THink of it this way, you have to get through a whole mission without getting hit by more than x amount of shots(disregaurding stanima that will get shot through with 1 shot with the plasma pistol) unless there are luls in combat with healing stations nearby. By yourself...

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing?Then whence cometh evil?Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?"

Yea! =}

As for the people with Recon before ODST, well, we'll at least have had it earlier.

Assassinations, wham bam thank you mam, and they're down one hit, no muss no fuss. You just have to hope you don't ge caught. Work on them sneaking skills.

That was the point, OP, that was the point...

And, since for some strange reason, people are struggling to collect -removed- will be a wrecking ball for those children.[/quote]
The one that will seperate the men from the boys will be classic

PPFFFFTTTT. Just do Dutch's flashback. All you have to do is arm some detonators and run away.



I hope.

Hopefully it wont, kinda boring if you ask me.
And to easy

Haha, go on, do the level for Dutch without shooting. You realise that the section of that level you saw was a fraction of the actual flashback? Joe Staten said you will be forced back into the ONI site, and fight more Covenant. Good luck.

That's why I said 'I hope" I wasn't sure.

Well, nuts to my plan!
I got that part covered... Mythic Recon Challenge helped me there... Just run for your life.

If you can take out 6 enemies at once, more power to you. And another topic, I dont beleive you will do much sneaking in some missions like the oni bridge thing. Not much sneaking there.

  • 08.09.2009 2:25 PM PDT

not many people will get it actually. A lot of people wont be able to do the Classic achievement.

Plus a good chunk of people think they just have to get all the vidmasters to get recon and they dont know about having to activate it on this site. At least half of the people with the vidmasters will take awhile to figure it out.

Deja Vu is what I'm concerned about. I hope its not as long and annoying as annual.
