Umm I doubt he did, you've gotta click the 'unlock recon' button on your account, but i'm assuming you already did that, I had the same problem with recon, i had to wait a month to get it after i completed the vidmasters, bungie has been having a lot of problems with it, but just to be sure the problem isn't on your end,
-make sure all the vidmasters show up on your achievements
-rescan your achievements on halo waypoint
-keep checking on your account for the unlock recon button to pop up again
