Subject: How to activate your Recon when you get the Vidmasters.

This is what I've been told by many people, and I don't think enough people are aware of this.
When you unlock all of the Vidmaster Achievements, you need to log into Bungie.net, go to your account settings, and activate Recon. Very similar to the Septagon in Halo 3, or the Bungie.net sign in Halo 2.
Just thought that you should all know this!!

Hopefully we won't be seeing a ton of, " I just got all the Vidmasters, but no recon " threads.

Hey Lol moments.
Always glad to see you on the forums.

theres already threads about this, use the search function plus if you see someone asking about this tell them these exact words-

"search function"

And its not your account settings. you have to go on your service record

  • 08.09.2009 2:33 PM PDT

they'll still be there. im not looking forward to them. i wish there was a rule that people who dont use the search function would get banned but there isnt.

99 percent of the people who make those threads wont read this

Hopefully this information will satisfy somebody's curiosity before this thread dies down.

  • 08.09.2009 2:36 PM PDT

yeah that 1 percent will be satisfied.

What? No you won't... you'll just have it once you get the Vidmasters...

To "activate" it, press "Start", right on the D-pad, and scroll to "Appearance". Then, select "armour" and scroll to option 4/11 - Recon.

I could have sworn that it was said it was unlocked just like normal armor permutations, which is when you get all the Vidmaster Achievements the armor is unlocked in Appearance, simple as that. Where did they say you need to go into Bungie.net? I am far to lazy to go look for it, and if you know where it is you might as well post it.


No problem!!

For the first time, Recon Armor for use in Halo 3 multiplayer will be made available to players who complete the "Road to Recon" challenge. Earn all seven of the Vidmasters, a series of Xbox LIVE achievements that span Halo 3's Campaign and Multiplayer and Halo 3: ODST, and then visit your Bungie.net Service Record with a linked gamertag to enable your sweet new set of digital duds.
I'm assuming you need to activate it because it says you need to VISIT BUNGIE.NET Service record......So I was wrong about account settings, its the service record.

Put your money where your mouth is i want to see proof on both sides of the argument.

When both sides come up with nothing we will just have to wait and see till activating recon through vidmaster will become relevant or Bugee posts about it.

Maybe we can summon Urk if we join hands and chant every number that contains the number 7.

cool

  • 08.09.2009 3:42 PM PDT

Yeah, I'm sure Bungie will be saying something more clear in the next few weeks. Maybe even make a little page that shows up when you log on to Halo 3 Online reminding us?

no you have to have your gamer tag linked to your bnet profile and get the vid masters than log in to your bnet account and go to your service record and accept it and you get your very own reconz with your name all over it!

u get your name on it?

I know you have to do something. And all the stupid 10 year olds will be too busy drinking their chocolate and developing motor skills, to go through the trouble to turn it on.

I'd like to say that the week of ODST's launch will be Dday on this site. EVERYONE will be asking how to activate it.
