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.
Thank god some people acctully have a brain :)
Good point, I agree fully.
