i got all vidmasters and did not get recon. Can you help me out?

  • 09.27.2009 1:04 PM PDT

I haven't gotten all of the vidmasters yet, but I did get brainpan offline and was wondering if I'll still be able to get recon once I complete the rest of the achievements.

I don't see how this thread is "official" I don't see any endorsements from Bungie in here.


No, no one from Bungie has posted here. If you had read before, this post was made to funnel all the Recon issues into one place so there are not repeat threads.

Your annual says it was earned offline along with several other ones that you need to be online to get. You have several multiplayer achievements that were unlocked offline.

My buddies and I just got Endure, we got all the Halo 3 achievements awhile ago, except for brain pan, which we got yesterday, as well as getting De Ja Vu at like, 6 am this morning. I clicked the unlock recon button on my service record, got no errors, and it disappeared.

I understand I probably won't get recon for a little because normally for games like this it takes a little while for it t reward it to you, but does anyone know how long I have to wait?

  • 09.27.2009 9:20 PM PDT

ya it is realy weird all my achivments for the most part are unlocked

how long does it take for a bungie member to look at this thread to try and sort out the legit errors.

I got dis-connected at the end of uplift reserve for the xbl update while trying to complete the classic vidmaster and i got the achievement but says i done it offline.

I have since completed it twice and still no change.

Will it ever change?

Delta, do youknow if any bungie staff are gonna sort out this big problem of people not getting their recon?

Freedom is an illusion, conducted by the leaders of the world.

Sapere Aude - Victory within' reach.

My VM brainpan and the citadel, heretic, longshore-skull achievement just aren't popping up. My Xbox says I have them, my Service Record says I don't.
All the others: check.
I've allready been waiting 48 hours, but no changes.

I'd first like to say thank you for the awsome thread, very neccasary.

Anyway i have to disagree about the first answer, i did all the achievments completly legitly, yet when i did annual, about midway in, i went blackscreen and quickly came back, oddly enough it didn't end the game, so we just kept playing like nothing happened, but unfortunatly it gave me annual as if i did it offline. I redid it this morning just to prove that i didn't cheat, It only took us 36 minutes, the video is in my fileshare. I did nothing wrong; i shouldn't be punished. i don't understand why i did all work, just to be stared at by all of my recon wearing friends, while i stand empty handed.
Hoping bungie cares enough for their fans to get all of this resolved

Did you PM a mod about this, or a Bungie employee?

Okay, I have all the achievements and they are legit and when I go and change my armor it dosnt show at all! After I have earned them all, I navigate to Bungie.net to my service record to click the "get recon" button! But, when I do check my Record it said "Record not found" my XBOX LIVE gamertag is linked to Bungie.net. I never had this problem befor. Is there away to get it back and get my RECON ARMOR also?

Completely same thing that happened with me, i d/c at end of level (at the credits) and still got the achievement, i re-did it also and placed it in my fileshare for proof :D







EDIT : Guys thankfully bungie havent left this issue, i recieved a PM from Archronos, he told me bungie are looking into the issue and it should be ok soon, just check the button for recon each day :)

Hi i recently unlocked the last vidmaster i needed to unlock recon on my main gamer tag Deliirious. afterward i realized that i cannot click the get recon button on my service record because i don't remember the password for the bungie.net account linked to that gamertag. ive tryed to recover the password and have had no luck.

If anyone else has had this problem and got around it please help.

another thought

I was just wondering if someone from bungie could access my service record and click the recon button for me.

even a response from bungie would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.
