Subject: Recon is still special

How can I help you?

People need to realise that recon is still the hardest armour to unlock, and it is definatly worth somthing.
I dont understand why people wearing ODST or Scout are always telling me its 'N00b15h'

look at this armor 2 years in the making

How is Recon special in any way?

It is an armour variant, maybe a bit harder to unlock than the others, but in my opinion, wearing a full set is either showing that you like the armour, or you are just showing off something that loads of people have.

It's not even that difficult to get, time-comsuming maybe but not that difficult. I played way longer then I should have due to the fact my teammates usually sucked. Get good people and you'll have Recon in no time.

recon is wourthless nowadays and either ways it looks ugly, people only wear it because they want to look pro when true pros wear eod, i mean come on look at the helmet visor.... i just laugh at or teabag people who wear recon. true pros don't bother gvetting recon because they know that 1. it's just armour and 2. theyre already a 50 and thats enough to prove their skills, and 3 . it's ugly.

Terry I can't look at your profile to see if you don't have it and are mad about it, or if you have it and know what you're talking about...

  • 08.17.2010 11:59 AM PDT

the only TRUE reason recon has become less 'special' is because almost everyone has it now

when we were noobs, most of us wanted it and looked up to people with it (mainly because back then bungie gave it to people personally) but a while after vidmasters helped unlock it, despite the difficulty, it just didnt seem to matter

now and again there are still noobs that go "wow, you got recon" though which is always funny

Go Reach.

You people that don't have recon are jealous, I'm sure you have never tried any of the challenging Vidmaster achievements, because they're hard, and you don't want to fail. It took me less than 2 months to get Recon because I tried hard at it.

me and a few determined mates got together one day, i did classic, endure, deja vu and annual all in that day (obviously i did classic alone)

That's all it should take with good friends. These people who talk about it taking months are crazy. I hover around level 40 in matchmaking and I did it easily.

security armor is in my opinion the best looking.. which is why i unlocked it. not wasting my time on recon just to have random people add me and ask me to help them unlock it too.

Recon was never special.

Even when it wasn't public.

I did mine in 8 hours, friend. The night I got ODST, my friends and I all went and did the Classic achievement, then got together for the Deja Vu, then finally the Endure one. Deja Vu took a while, though.

no its not, recon is easy, scout is the hardest, you gotta get lucky

  • 08.17.2010 2:14 PM PDT

i wouldn't exactly say recon is the hardest to unlock, it is certainly the most time consuming. In my opinion, the Scout armor varient is much harder seeing as it takes some luck.

  • 08.17.2010 3:16 PM PDT

Okay, look. Everyone has their opinion on armor. Such as mine is Recon ftw. I love my Recon. Simple as that. I think it looks good and i worked hard for it. To some people it might look ugly, or it might be worthless, or it might be easy to get. It's not like that for every player because every player is different. I don't wear my Recon to show it off to noobs or to look pro, because i KNOW i'm not even close to pro. I wear it because i love it, simple as that.

These sum up what most people are going to say, I'm guessing. It took me one sitting of about 6 hours to get Recon. Not hard, just tired after sitting in one spot for so long.

Unless you exclusively play Social no one is like "Omg Reconz! Add me!" Anymore.
