Ok my account details are stuffed my friend once recovered my account on to his xbox when i got home it was all good until i tried to link my live account to bungie .net but the password was saying it was incorrect.

So i thought it didnt matter until i couple of weeks later bungie siad you need to have a linked account to get recon so i thought bungie might send it to me if i sent this message because i just earned my last vidmaster and my recon.

But i cant get it because my account is screwed i dont know how to get recon or get my account linked also i have made this account to post this poll to get my point across my actual gamertag is TinyzOMG and if bungie would be so kind to send me recon or tell me any other way to get it by getting my account details back would be appreciated

I CANT HAZ RECONZ BUT I HAZ ALL VIDMASTERS :(

sincerely Tinyz.

I have a recon unlock problem too and i don't know what else to do.
I have all Vidmaster achievements, i have done Classic twice, Endure twice and Deja Vu once. They are all lit up but no button, just says "check out your achievements". I went in last night and grabbed all the skulls in mythic while online so brainpan would then be classed as online. Over the weekend i did Annual again as it says it was done offline which seems very odd. I sometimes appear offline when playing to get abit of peace from people who want to play ranked. Im 50 in 4 playlists, well 3 now as Objective has now been layed to rest (RIP).
Been playing Halo 3 since release on various gamertags and have no complaints apart from the recon non unlock which is bugging me now!
Hope someone from Bungie sorts this out, im sure they will lose players if its not sorted.
Hope everyone who has earned it gets it soon

how many times did you PM Achronos because i have PM him twice and had no response.

I have also emailed bungie twice and had no response and like someone else said microsoft cant fix this problem even though it was there update that caused this problem for me.

I completed all of the vidmasters and do not have recon. I have made a thread in the ODST forum asking why I don't have the button to "unlock recon" and I was told that I earned my Classic vidmaster offline (I lagged out of XBL during it). I have done classic over again while connected to XBL and I still cannot unlock recon. Can anyone help me?

Achronos is aware of the issues. Be patient.

Im trying to be patient but it doesnt take that long to look at a genuine problem, surely.

I have completed the classic mission 5 times now and have even saved one of them to go in my file share and i still cant unlock recon.

Ive nearly done all the vidmaster achievements in 2 days on another account which has taken hours to do and they cant even look at my v iJoker v account to resolve this issue.

If you are going to edit your post add this:

Q) I'm having a problem, it's saying it needs to verify the achievement 'Insert vidmaster here'.

A) You have to RE-DO the 'Insert vidmaster here'.



Exactly. Also with my experience with Achronos, while he may or may not post in a thread or reply to a PM, he is aware of problem issues more than we all can guess. He has a team that monitors this forum daily 24/7. My guess as to why he has not posted here is that there is not one simple solution or fix it button. His team, most likely has to take this on case by case. I say hang back, let them take care of what they do, get some other achievements in the mean time.

Bungie was the start of my gaming life and Halo: Reach will spark the day of rejoice!

I have this message and I DID NOT MOD:
Road to Recon!
Error: We couldn't verify the Classic achievement. Wait 24 hours for the game to appear on Bungie.net
I have waited 72 hours (3 days) and redid the achievement. How do I get my recon?

Yeah... I have gotten all of my achievements for recon and I still have not received my recon. I have been waiting several days.

It's almost a week now :-(

I unlocked the last vidmaster with a few of my friends who unlocked their Recon five min after the achievement.

Not me though... :-(

It's not like I would wear it if I had it but I'd still like the option to.

Analogy: I have a crap-car that I CAN drive, if needed, but I wouldn't if it's a short travel. If somebody stole my crap-car; I'd still be pissed.

I can't use Recon when I should be able to so I'm pissed.

Ok i got all the acheivments i dont understand whats going on. It says Road to Recon and this next to it "Error: We couldn't verify the Classic achievement. Wait 24 hours for the game to appear on bungie.net" ITS BEEN THREEE DAYS AND ITS STILL SAYING THIS. Now how could i have cheated on that acheivment, you cant shoot anyone or anything. I did it like everyone else did it. You hop in a ghost fly throught the level in about 5-10 min and you get it. Someone please just explain to me whats going on thats all.
