In Bungie's last ODST ViDoc they said that Vidmaster: Endure would have originally required the players to survive for 7 sets on Legendary difficulty as opposed to the 4 sets on Heroic we currently have.
Which would you have preferred to play?
Personally I'd have liked the original idea to have made it into the game, Endure as it is isn't quite challenging enough in my opinion, especially considering that everyone was making such a fuss over Recon armour being too easy to obtain shortly before and after ODST's release.

If you vote, please explain why.

I like the version we have now but I clicked the wrong one. I liked it the way it is just because I still can't get it now.

Good bye..

Your just saying that you like the original version because you have endure already.

The 7 sets on Legendary would have been near impossible to complete, although, I'm always up for a challenge.

Yes. I got it as soon as I finished ODST's Campaign. But that's not why I'd like to have seen 7 sets on legendary. Heroic just wasn't much of a challenge and it would have been nice for people to really be able to say "I earned my Recon."
Of course the biggest issue still remains to be latency according to most players so maybe more sets would just frustrate people.

It's Recon, who cares about showing off how difficult it was and how you earned it? It means nothing. It's fine the way it is. Its armor. In a video game.

True, and I was never one of the people complaining about Recon. I'm simply using a common complaint from the close to ODST's release to pose a question.
I was bored, remembered this particular ViDoc and thought I'd see what everyone else thought. Is that really such a problem?

The Mythic Threads (Halo 3) (ODST) (Reach)

Bungie said that it was going to be hard as hell but your worst enemy was the connection. Man people kept posting how they got booted when they were one round away and all that. It would most likely happen even more with the original idea.

But that aside, yeah it was too easy. Way too easy. I wouldn't mind the original idea, hell I got to set 10 all by myself on Crater on Legendary, it was scary as hell.

All you needed to do in order to get this achievement was to play normally. Unless you're still struggling on Easy in the Campaign.

By no means do I wanna offend anyone who's not good against the Brutes and Grunts but when the Mythic Recon challenge was up, we got a lot of new people who completed Halo 3 on Mythic (Legendary All Skulls On). We went from around 17 to 40.

Same thing would apply here, when you know what's at stake, you try harder. Before there was no price whatsoever for completing Halo 3 on Mythic (besides the fact that you have completed it) so no one would bother. But even if this original idea for the achievement would be here, everyone would still go for it. And eventually get it.

My two cents, or however some people say it.

I dpn't know if i'm bad, but it's hard enough. Just imagine if Lost platoon or Alpha Site wasn't on.
