Subject: The Great Trials *Recon Idea*.

I was thinking, the Vidmaster achievements in ODST look quite easy and I'd like to think Bungie have a surprise up their sleeve when it comes to getting the armour.

Basically, I'd like the idea if Bungie put a 'great Trial' in ODST, A great pathway, or tunnel at the edge of the city whoms access is unlocked when you complete the game.

In this 'Great Path' there are many challenges a player must face when getting to the eventuall Recon prize. I was thinking of trials such as.

First Trial : Defeat A Hunter in Melee Combat
Second Trial: Demolish a wave of 500 grunts.

Etc.

This is just an idea, but I'd love something like this to appear in the final game, a true test to prove worthiness of the armour your about to claim.

Post here if you like the idea, add your own trial ideas if you wish!

What are you talking about we don't know what the achievements are? *cough cough*

  • 08.09.2009 4:11 PM PDT

ODST's achievements were leaked long ago.

One achievement is for a completing a certain level on legendary with no weapons fired or grenades thrown.

One is for reaching an early point in firefight.

One is for a certain level in 4 player legendary co-op with Iron on.

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

Final game is done

we're not soposed to talk about leaked stuff *cough*

There are about 200 threads with some reference to leaked content.

BUT, this thread isn't about the achievements, it's about the idea.

  • 08.09.2009 4:17 PM PDT

I sigh at you conor

  • 08.09.2009 4:17 PM PDT

Okay, a message to ALL the idiots on this forum.

1) This thread's an idea. The game's finished, I KNOW that. Christ all mighty learn to read.
2) Every content on this damn forum references leaked content. This thread doesn't even specifty the achievements, it's common knowledge that they're known.

1. you mentioned at least 3 achievements
2. no need for number 2, you broke number 1
3. it'll be blocked, get over it

1) Achievements *
2) Wow, I mentioned achievements, who cares? I can pretty much guarantee that not every thread that mentions them (all of them) will be locked.
3) Do you even know what that phrase means?

I didn't know it existed? Everyone makes mistakes. Maybe you should do something better with your life than capitaising on them.

i'm fairly content with my life and i'm showing a grin

  • 08.09.2009 4:33 PM PDT

I didn't get a word of that.

  • 08.09.2009 4:38 PM PDT

can you two just stop bickering and let people talk about this pretty cool idea that will never happen -.-

  • 08.09.2009 4:39 PM PDT

Believe it or not, that's what this thread was for.

  • 08.09.2009 4:41 PM PDT

referencing to vidmasters/achievements is not referencing to leaked cotent unless you actually specify something about them such as names, what they require you to do or your opinions on them. also mentioning the word leaked content is referencing. this thread is referencing to the leaked content, because he shared his opinion on how challenging the achievements are. though your main goal wss to share an idea about what you believe is a more challenging way to get recon, you should have avoided mentioning how hard the vidmasters are based upon your opinion from reading their description.

I have not read the achievements because i believe that there is no point in knowing them before the game is released, so i cannot say with great evidence that i disagree with the need for a harder unlock, but i believe bungie knows whats best for tgeir game and what i've noticed over my time playing this game is, not many people bother with campaign which means people who can do SLASO and other people who've beaten campaign many times on legendary may find it a simple task, but to people with little experience, they may find it troubling. Koodos to all of you who played for the story as well as tge multiplayer.

  • 08.09.2009 5:00 PM PDT

Who gives a damn about whether or not he discussed the achievements? In all honesty, you people are just as likely to get banned for hi-jacking a thread and forum copping. Let it go.

It's a good idea, and one that could be very interesting. Sort of like Firefight, but with specific challenges. Shame it's unlikely it will be present, the game is finished.

Ah well, no matter.

  • 08.09.2009 5:06 PM PDT

True, I'm still dreaming that they'll surprise us with such a feature =P. I'd like to really work for my Recon. So far, an overkill in Lone Wolves seems harder.

Reported for talking about leaked achievements and ruining the surprise for the vidmaster for me. :(

I would hardly consider the 60th wave early.
It took people 10 minutes to get past wave 5. And considering the future waves are even harder, it isn't going to be a cake walk.

  • 08.09.2009 5:17 PM PDT

Sorry man, i assumed loads of people knew.

  • 08.09.2009 5:18 PM PDT

i dont care about those. heres my idea for a trial:
fight 300 jackels all screaming THIS IS SPARTA. and yes i just saw that movie.
