I think it's a good way to prove your a vidmaster and get some pretty sweet armor afterwards...til someone made the armor generator...

Blackness Confirmed. You've got soul.


The Ultimate Opinion.

You sir, are my idol. You said what has needed to be said for a LONG time.

dont ask about my email name i made it when i was like 11, thinking about changing it.

I worked my ass off for two weeks getting the vidmasters for both games, suffered through many laggy games to get my recon. It shows my love and dedication to Halo.


same here bro.

but now, some people are asking for flaming head. they just want it because they dont have it and want to seem "better" then other people. its like their six years old

Evade > Sprint > Other non-stupid Armour Abilities > Active Camo (Annoying) > Cumbody (Annoying, noob and just plain disgusting. I mean, you are covering yourself in... white stuff. Seriously. Who would want to do that? Now, I'm tolerant of your... preferences and all, but for a male hetero. such as myself, it's just plain repulsive.)

AND it's hella easy to Snipe. I remember a match I had in 2008 against JonnyOThan in the first day when Squad Battle was out (I think) and it was on High Ground, and I couldn't help but notice how easy it was to Snipe and Headshot that Helmet. Seriously. Now, I'm facing the consequence of wearing Recon. It doesn't help that I suck at Sniping. =P Oh well... at least I still pwn with the Laser (On Spartan/Elite targets too, not just vehicles; you don't know how many people can't hit non-vehicular targets with it...). But, oh well. I'm playing for fun, so who the hell cares about my Killing Frenzy being ended by some Sniper, eh?

One last thing. CAN. I. HAZ. RECONZ?

Hopefully, I'll just be banned from earning Recon. Well, seeing as I already earned it... =D

But seriously, what phrase is gonna come up next? "can i haz FIREZ PL0X?!?!?!111ONE!?!?!SHIFTSLASH"? Seriously, leave "can i haz cheezburger" alone, guys...

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

I like this thread.

Wow, thank you lol. People expect way too much from Bungie, this thread is a sort of reality check for those that needed it.

I lika do da cha cha.

I go into Rumble Pit and I NEVER see anybody with recon. Usually im the only one for 5-6 games straight.

  • 12.30.2009 3:54 AM PDT

Rise Rebel Resist! Face The Fist!

I miss the day when u saw somone with recon, and imediatly send a freiend request askin what did joo dooo!!!!! -drool-

  • 01.02.2010 12:29 PM PDT

Recon is also good in another way: more File Share activity. Nowadays, we're seeing at least one "Teabagging recon!" or "Run away, recon!" pic per match.

  • 01.02.2010 12:42 PM PDT

i have gotton to the 4th set and the last round on heroic but it lagged out. we has 23 lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ONLY DIED 6 TIMES. i so deserve it

I am Field Master Avu Med 'Telcam, Servant of the Abiding Truth, and I have many brothers.

A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.

I got my recon, I liked it, then I realized Elites were all the rage lol

I like my EOD Helm, Busa shoulders, and CQB Chest plate to much.

You have a Recon chest not a CQB. Not flaming I'm just noticing

  • 01.18.2010 2:07 PM PDT

lolnope.

Bottom line is it's just another goal to reach. Whether you believe it's the next Hayabusa or not, a lot of people will play Halo more just to say they unlocked it. People like a challenge.

I hope they create another rare armor for Reach. It would be good for all the same reasons as my OP.


I bet there's going to be a lot more armor variety and probably rare armors for each specialty...I think everyone is tired of everyone else online looking near the same...Almost everyone is the same colors too (Gray or Brown)!

Anyway, thanks for the neat thread! I don't care much about Recon, it's basically just a fancy achievement award thing to me, which is just for gamerscore, which is just a fancy way of saying "Top Score"...but I recall looking at arcade cabinets with my initials digitally inscribed at the top of the list and thinking, dang, that's pretty sweet, I wish I could wear digital armor that did that...Er, maybe it was a little different when I was playing Raiden & Virtua-On, idk...>_>

my friend had halo 3 and worked his butt off getting hayabusa. the very day he got it, he read that haybusa was for n00bs because of some forum said it. the same thing happened with the katana and hes saying that once he unlocks recon, hes never gonna wear it because heaps of other people have it already (including me!) every time i think of it i think "what an idiot" it makes me lol

To be honest I just enjoyed doing the Vidmasters. I think the achievements are great and a pity other games don't have the same idea.

People say they are easy, please I've played with numerous groups and a fair few don't have a clue.Sure it's ok for those who are really skilled in the game but not everyone is. The balance is right

In the end the armor isn't important, but it's a nice reward for your efforts.
