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.


It is a great way to earn Recon. It kinda bugs me when people won Recon through Bungie Day and they don't even know how, then they act like people that got Recon through ODST don't deserve it.

yeah soon someone will come up with ''can you make a new armour only for me''. that day will drive me nuts!

i don't have xbox live so i just stick to my own random combinations of armour unlocked through campaign

Being an Elite is its own reward.

i agree


Never thought of it that way, though Recon doesn't feel special now.

"Yay I got Recon!"

"So did everyone else...."

The op does make some excellent points. Bungie makes more money, people play Halo 3 more, people stop bugging Bungie for Recon armor, and more people will play Campaign.

I never saw it that way. Thanks op!

All the achievements had to be done online, then make sure your gamertag is linked as well. Try PMing 'Achronos', he is a wealth of knowledge.

It encourages people to work together and in the end reap the reward.

Some asses just aren't worth the trouble.

Good points but Recon isnt special anymore...it was before. Those time when you could earn it on "Bungie vs World" or doing something special like what Dighital Ph33r did with Arby n the Chief...
