There has been alot of people complaining that Recon is going to be the next Hyabusa, but the truth is, it won't be. I used to think the same thing, but one achievement in particular has me convinced it'll be harder than you think.
The Halo 3 vidmasters are a piece of cake, they aren't hard, just time consuming. Anyone who want's recon, can get them.
The ODST achievements, aren't the same case.
Vidmaster Classic: Complete any campaign level on solo legendary, without firing a single shot, or throwing grenades.
Now, I don't know about you, but I think this is going to be harder than it sounds. We are ODST's now, so we can't just charge people, and expect not to die. It's going to be hard at first, although I'm sure guides will be on the internet withen the first week.
Vidmaster Deja Vu: Complete "Highway" on 4player co-op with Iron activated, using no Hog' or Scorpion.
Now, The achievement name being "Deja Vu" and the name being "Highway" makes me think that this is a redux of the begging of the level "Metropolis" from Halo 2, where you started with a Scorpion and a Wharthog. If that's the case, it's going to be pretty difficult completing that level without a Scorpion.
Vidmaster Endure: Pass the 4th Set of any level on Heroic.
This is the achievement that stands out. Passing the 4th set, means you have to survive 60 waves of FireFight on Heroic, with random skulls popping on, like Iron. That's going to be one hard achievement, and I doubt most of the lower skilled players can pull it off.
And the nail on the coffin. If you don't have a Bungie.net account linked to your gamertag, you can't unlock recon. The way you unlock recon, is by unlocking all 7 vidmaster achievements, then going to your bungie.net profile, and clicking the button that will "unlock" the armor on your xbox, as explained in the ODST field guide.
I just thought I'd put this out in the open.
