Bring on the trumpets!

Hi All

I just got ODST (i kno im a little late) and im basically only interested in getting the recon related achievments.

So my question is whats the fastest way to complete the 3 vidmaster achievments? i.e. is completing the entire campaign on legendary nessecary, that kind of thing.

any advice would be greatly apreciated and feel free to call me a recon noob all you like, thanks guys.

I just got recon myself about three weeks ago but I do know basic tips. Ok first the easiest to get is classic this one takes about 10 to 15 minutes to get if you are quick, just play the mission uplift reserve on legendary solo. Starting out with the spartan laser move forward and let your teammates kill the first group of enemies near the hog. After that give the laser to a teammate, they have inf. ammo and pretty good aim, also a gunner if you want. Next just drive around dodging attacks letting your teammate kill the enemies and wraiths. Really the rest is simple just stay back, let the teammates kill the enemies, and don't get out of the hog, and if the teammate dies try to find another without dying. One more thing in the hog you can't press the triggers but can still splatter. Deji vu is ok but will take quite some time, first get a team together and start the final mission on legendary with iron on (no respawns, and i don't know for sure if you can skip cutscenes but we didn't). Just play until you get to the highway and when you start make sure no one gets in the hogs or tank later on. Move into the first tunnel to find mongooses and launchers with 999 ammo. The rest is simple but make sure to keep a SSMG on you to spray the drones at one of the gates. Should take a couple of hours. For the infamous endure just go to the classifieds to find teammates or join The Spartan I Project here at bungie.net. Find the team punishment thread and ask to join a endure run that how I got it. With them it should take only 2 hours maybe less. Just listen to them and before you post read the rules of the thread some people don't.

This from one recon noob to another: wearing recon online apparently makes you a high value target so watch out! Maybe some are just mad that they may not have it or something.
