In use since September 2nd, 2009

I had no problem. I finished Deja Vu Thursday and I logged in to Bungie.net. I clicked the "Get Recon!" button, decided to relog in to Xbox LIVE and when I checked out my character it was there. It was almost instant, so I dunno what's wrong with your friend, Orochi, maybe he boosted for an achievement or something, I don't really know.

OrochiWukong, that is the first quadruple post i have ever seen, or should i call it "Overpost!" (said in dramatic announcer voice), anyway it was epic.

  • 10.12.2009 2:25 PM PDT

you probably hacked the achievements
so then you can't get recon

Hello! I'm a male!

He earned Vidmaster Challenge Brain pan offline .... he earned an online achievement offline ....... he hacked his vidmaster achievement and now is doomed to have no recon

  • 10.12.2009 4:15 PM PDT

Lol, you are dead.

I think i see the banhammer coming over the hill.

Sorry to waste your time but I did all the achievements and I also got the message that said the road to recon is unlocked. So it's been about 17 hours now and the button has still not loaded. So im guessing it just takes so time but I am almost 100% sure that I have never cheated, modded or hacked anything on halo 3 or halo:odst. (I got live 3 weeks ago)

  • 10.13.2009 3:22 PM PDT

its funny how his gs hasn't been reset and he has recon on.

  • 10.13.2009 4:31 PM PDT

Don't ask about the name-- it's a long story

How does Drcharcoal have Recon? I thought he modded all of the achievements (at least according to half of the people in the first 2 pages since I can't bother reading the rest out of this insanity).

If you do the Vidmasters after a little time period, even if you modded them, you can unlock them. Or he reset his GS and did them.

You have to get on the 5th set to get that achievement
plus there are 3 rounds in each set

Im not going to explain the story for you but you know the message that you get if you've unlocked all the vidmasters. I got that but it has still not showed the unlock my recon armour on the bungie site. I am almost 100 % sure I have never modded or manipulated with the game in anyway. Go ahead check my achievements they are all done online. So are you sure there's no problem ?
Posted by: kaysik mitsruga
everyone who did the vidmasters legit will get recon, even if you once got exp banned like i did.

it took several hours for the button to appear for me,

try loading up your matchmaking disk, and it should send you a notification, then go to your bungie.net profile to unlock recon.

everyone who asks for help, seems to have recon on before i can respond.

cheers!
