I hate to post the nearly considered to be spam line, but... I completely agree. Great post!

  • 10.03.2009 6:26 PM PDT

I completely agree, I got my recon after Bungie day and i was threatened to have my account hacked at least 7 times...now that it is available to anybody who wants to take the time to get all the vidmasters, I won't have to worry as much.
I do like the fact that you can unlock it now, because it is still quite a challenge to get all the vidmasters..especially deja vu and annual. But I still kind of wish that they would've kept it exclusive.
But thats just my opinion.

Agreed 100%
It takes skill and determination to unlock this achievable.

It is ok to have that opinion, I just want ppl to realize how everyone benefits.

Well first recon is just an armor and that's it I'm surprised that people would freak over recon like they did and people that have it right now deserve it because they ALL acomplished a goal most people did it through 7 vidmasters and that is hard but the people who unlocked through other things should already be popular enough throughout the Halo 3 community that they don't even need recon.

Look at your comment, now back to mine.Now back at your comment now back to mine. Sadly it isn't mine, but if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate comments it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through comments, writing the comment your comment could look like. What did you post? Back at mine, it's a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again the reply is now diamonds.Anything is possible with legit comments Im sexy!

Good points carnage!

And to the people who bash on the player model being recon let me ask you this, When you first got halo and a bungie account didn't you want to show off your cool armor? Yet no one bashed on anyone back then, but now some one sees the recon model and start getting pissed. What did they do to you? Nothing, just give it time and let people get it out of their systems. After awhile people will go back to there old symbols and everyone will be fine.

I'd think long and hard before dismissing my seemingly stupid comment as... stupid.

  • 10.06.2009 11:26 PM PDT

Pls stop inviting me for your groups I don't want to join any group!

The only good thing for some users of the Halo 3 community is they can start begging for the EOB chestpiece now. I'm pretty sure it will happen.

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

I can haz fire plz?


No one should get fire besides Bungie employees because it won't benefit anyone. It will put Bungie back in the boat where people ask for it. Shishka has already said that no one else will get fire, and that is partly the reason why Pre-ODSTs have complained, SOME not all.

With this thread I know I will not be able to convince everyone in the community, but I hope to at least shed some light and common sense on a few of you. I have seen countless threads for and against allowing people to unlock Recon. The majority of those threads provide no strong argument either way.

I managed to unlock Recon through the Vidmaster Challenges, but not before I tried countless other methods. To explain my argument I will focus on two important questions:

How does Bungie benefit from allowing the community to unlock Recon through the Vidmaster Challenges?
-Provides incentive for Halo 3 fans to purchase Halo 3: ODST so Bungie can make more money. At the end of the day, they are running a business.

-People that unlock Recon are likely to play Halo 3 more often now, which is probably why people are complaining how "EVERYONE" has Recon in matchmaking.

-More people will play ODST as well for the achievements, obtaining Recon, campaign or some fun in firefight. The popularity of the game played on live will help bring in support and money from Microsoft so Bungie become bigger and better (take over the world).

-Unlockable Recon means that Recon will most likely not be "given" away anymore. This might be argued as a bad thing but it allows Bungie to focus on the future of their game developments such as Halo: Reach.

How does the community benefit from Bungie allowing us to unlock Recon?
-We get several more armor combinations, although this is a small point, it is a point to be made.

-The last of the Mythic Maps came out so that means nothing else can be released for Halo 3. Now we can enjoy EVERYTHING Halo 3 has to offer because of Recon, all the maps etc.

-Halo 3 has been out for over two years now, the most dedicated and determined community members will be able to unlock Recon. If anyone sticks with one game for more than two years, they and WE deserve Recon. Keep in mind, Bungie isn't allowing those that got the Vidmasters early or cheating to get them to obtain Recon.

-Recon is UNLOCKABLE and not GIVEN to us. We still have to earn it if we want it. If you are not happy with it, don't earn it or don't wear it.

Very well said

A government should fear it's people not the other way round.

I intend to unlock Recon eventually but it isn't really high on my list. I like the helmet but I usually play online as an Elite so I probably won't wear it that often.

Don't forget to mention that the complaining about recon has been put to an end. Soon it'll all be a thing of the past.


No now the new thing is complaining that recon is available to everyone.

You cant make people happy. They complain at first that they can't have and now they complain that everyone can have. Who really cares what 10 year olds think anyway. Considering they think this armor is like the most awesome thing in the world, at least we wont have to worry about them reproducing.

Recon lovers = WOW nerds of halo

I posted that as an in general. Unless I guessed wrong, you posted that as some sarcastic or satirical type thing.

I was looking for an excuse to post that anyway.

*Yawn* Are you one of those kids who buy 2 games a year and spend 300+ days a year defending your few weeks of gameplay to justify your purchase?
