Subject: "No Road to Recon for you"

Hey Bob, what are those things jumping across the rooftops like majestic warriors dressed as Spartans with their heads on fire?

Oh, that's just the Bungie ninjas. Mess with them and they'll bring a hammer down on your head that's so big, they have to keep it on Jupiter 'cause it won't fit on Earth.

It would be a real let down if you spent all that time and effort trying to complete those 0G achievements and you get no reward.


It would be a real let down if you spent all that time breaking the rules and didn't get punished for it.
Hell yes!

What was your post's point?
"Here is the Weekly Update from 4/18/2008 Bungie Weekly Update: 4/18/08 i'm pretty sure Bungie was not even planning on making recon for the public."
What's that supposed to mean?

Yes. Once ODST comes out anybody whos anybody can get recon.

That list is only to keep the naughty people from getting recon early.
Nope. You get on the list, you never come off, and you never, EVER, get Recon.

Also i'm not on that "list" because i never asked or got banned for cheating.

Go Rams and Missouri!

Found the update!

Scroll down to Foreva -eva -eva part (near the bottom).

For those wondering if that means they're on The List - the compilation of names we've collected of players who might never receive Recon via any method - the answer is probably no. We typically reserve those line items for the really egregious offenders, for example, players who convinced themselves it was a great idea to mod their way to the achievements that aren't available through official means just yet.

But if you've been banned for EXP boosting, your penalty has already been delivered. If you lost your File Share privileges, the consequences of your actions have already been realized. You can still have Recon come Fall, as long as you complete all of the Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST achievements required, just like everyone else.

And this isn't your cue to message us asking for a detailed itemization of each and every ban type for severity so you can determine if you have made The List. If your punishment was only temporary, or was confined only to Bungie.net, chances are you have nothing to worry about.

A Bungie Weekly Update a few months back said it was very unlikely that you would be Recon banned after the release of ODST if you boosted or uploaded modified content to your File Share. If you tried to lie or cheat your way to Recon, you will not be able to unlock it.

EDIT: Damn, beaten to it.

It is about time someone can clear this up, I was looking for that same update.

Good Job
