Can you help me I got my achievements with my friends they got recon but not me it says

"Road to Recon!
Error: We couldn't verify the Endure achievement. Wait 24 hours for the game to appear on Bungie.net"

Its been a long time since I've got it and I've forgot all about (playing MW2 more than Halo 3) this error until I seen this form.

Can you fix this or help me ?

I just don't like how after having Recon unlocked, you must maintain a constant connection to Xbox Live. Recon does not work when doing a LAN or filming for a machinima. Is there any way to get around this?

I got the recon armor and was planning on getting a flaming recon picture or 2 and the thing said it needed to verify my Classic Achievement, an achievement I got almost a year ago. Now I am out a flaming Recon helmet for something they could have verified months and months ago.

ok i recently finally got the last vidmaster in halo odst. the deja vu one. took two hours. i went on bungie.net to get it last night around 5 or 6 and it said wait 24 hours because theres an error and it cant confirm the deja vu achievement. what do i do. did i do something wrong???? i did firefight took 4 and a half hours. i did the other one i did the halo3 ones and yet it still says wait 24 hours because of that error. what is going on? also adding on to the fact of that profile my online stats hasnt been updated yet its showing the armor and games history averaging from 2-3 days ago and not today. its not up to date. i just dont understand what bungie is doing.

unbeatle Rs

i have the same problem when i go get my recon it say error i haven't hacked it or modded it and i mean it im no cheater.

Mountain Dew Rock

i got deja vu and endure last night. (i posted a thread, didn't know this one existed. for that i apologize)

i get the dreaded error message that many seem to be familiar with, but also the firefight game i played is not appearing in my bungie.net profile. i heard some speculation that this was due to a server update that it was just my misfortune to run in to, i was just hoping that someone might be able to verify that. i have no problem waiting, i've worked at my own pace since the vidmasters came out. waiting a few days longer won't hurt. i guess i'm really just wanting someone to stroke my head and say "don't worry it'll be here eventually".

could someone oblige me? <3

It says

Road to Recon!
Error: We couldn't verify the Endure achievement. Wait 24 hours for the game to appear on Bungie.net

Bungie, This took me and my friends 2 hours to get... TWO HOURS. And we did this online so we had to witness some terrible lag from my friend. But in the end it said achievement unlocked. Vidmaster challange: Endure. I think after two hours of firefight. I deserve recon. I did all of the vidmasters. You can even look on my achievements.

  • 07.09.2010 12:04 PM PDT

Same as everyone else on this page!
Bungie really needs to step up here and explain!

Most of the problems will work them selves out, in 24 hours. You have to give them time to get on the website. if your achievement says you got it on the 9th wait until the tenth. If it is the 11th and you still don't have it, then there is a problem. Most (not all) of these cases will resolve in 24 hours.

No they don't! it's been 24 hours for me!

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

I forgot to add a "t" in my windows live ID on my xbox.



>_> Now, Not only does my gamertag (OptimalCupcake) change on here. But Now i haz no Recon. ALL 79 Acheivements for nothin!

  • 07.09.2010 2:14 PM PDT

I FOUND THE REASON EVERYONE IS GETTING THE ERROR MESSAGES FOR RECON!!!!!!!! here it is right off the updates chart on bungie.net------> Dephlogistication ----> basically what that is is the server is being updated and i guess it got overrun when the flaming head/armor plate came out it overloaded i guess you could say so there updating the server to be a halo REACH server. read it under bungie updates its there. i finally found out why!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 07.09.2010 7:31 PM PDT

We know well atleast I do, I just want to know how long it will take.
