Subject: Vidmasters ruining Recon?

I'm just a nice guy looking for nice people who love playing Halo as much as I do, it's not about skill, it's not about MLG pro's, it's not about noobs, it's about having fun and learning to laugh at others insecurities rather than letting them affect you. After all, I'm a lover, not a fighter.

Okay, I used to think that ever since the vidmasters came out it made Recon armor not seem all that awsome anymore, because you used to have to impress Bungie to get it. Well I was wrong! The vidmasters are harder than any Machinima, real life Halo armor creating, or insane tattoos can ever add up to, seriously, I miss having to impress Bungie, but after I got the vidmasters I realised that was impressing Bungie, seriously, all you people who earned your Recon and are too scared to wear it in fear of getting made fun of, put it on! You worked your ass off for that armor, you deserve it.

Considering the fact that they waited as long as they did, and made it a worthy and time consuming challenge to get it, I don't think it's a problem. I knew from the beginning Recon would be given away in abundance at one point.

Oh, and Reach will be out in two weeks, where Recon is practically handed to you. Soon, there will be new armor we can't haz, I assume anyway.

Post ODST Recon means nothing.

Armor perms in general mean nothing. Hell, nothing in this game means anything. Why the hell are you posting in the forums?

Anyways, to me, it's just another set of armor with ridiculous requirements to unlock. It took the most planning and the most amount of organization skills.

Bungie deems the Vidmaster's worthy of Recon, so if we unlock it, we've already impressed them enough. I don't see how it's "lost its gleam" or anything. The only people complaining about it is the ones that only liked it because it was exclusive.

Thank you so much for pointing out the exact thing that my topic was about in the first place. And if you have a problem with people posting forums on bnet abot Halo 3 then why are you constantly adding to them?

Group is Soldiers of War, ask for invite if you're interested

Well let's put it this way, do you want Bungie to lock recon back up and have everyone complain about not having it again?

The Vidmasters were Bungie's way of giving us an oppertunity to access something only they had, in my oppinion, I feel those who have Recon earned it by putting themselves through the trials.

The actual earning of the armor in general was easy, yes, but the collecting of the right players with enough patients and maturity to spend 2-3 hours getting Deja-Vu and Endure, that is the hard part. Too many little kids playing a game they shouldn't be playing in te first place.

Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!

If the vidmasters were a struggle for you, then you're a joke of a player.

People who got it pre-ODST actually earned it. Wearing it at this point just shows how bad you are.

Are you serious? The vidmasters were hard, and if you beat them you deserve recon. Its not like bungie just gave it out, you had to do something hard to get it. Any one who got it deserved it.

They where hard... In some ways. It just takes patience and some luck/skill. But they aren't in anyway ruining Recon.

I lol'd.

You remind me of the kid I sat next to in first grade that would tell you everything you were proud of achieving was "SO EASY".

"I just climbed across the monkey bars 10 times and jumped over the entire sandbox with mary-lou sitting in it!"
"Oh man that's SO EASY"
"But the palms of my hands are bleeeeding!"
"Wow you are so weak that is so EASY!"

You don't even have your profile linked to B.net so I'll just write you off as a troll.

First of all, the vidmasters were a hell of alot harder than making some BS machinima, or doing something criminally insane in attempts to impress Bungie like getting some damn Legendary symbol tattoo on your back. Secondly, you shouldn't go trolling through other peoples forums pretending that something was sooo insanely easy for you when it was a rediculous struggle for others, not gamepley wise but just waiting 4-5 hours per attempt hoping that some child doesn't leave the game due to lack of patients. Don't try to act like you're some MLG god because you're not, I'm sure you're skill level is at the same level as any other average Halo gamer and all you're doing is constantly refreshing the page on my forum so you can post bull crap comments about how better you are than everyone else because we all know you're nothing. Someone who goes through as much trouble as you are right now just to make themselves look good cannot possibley ammount up to anything in he Bungie community or even real life. I'm sure everyone knows that you're just some fatass sitting at your computer posting negative comments because you just got your ass kicked AGAIN at another MLG game wich just so happens to be the playlist that you would never gain the skill to play in anyways, or you're just some little kid owning everyone in social slayer, the gametype that all the new players attend, thinking you're all badass when you're realy nothing.

You're not good at Halo either.

Vidmasters were a joke.

I died once doing Endure in the whole two hours...

Annual took 15 minutes.
Classic took 5 minutes, going slow.
Deja Vu took 15 minutes.
Getting all the skulls took moments.

There was no challenge in the vidmasters. Not even a little bit. I don't wear Recon and I wont in Reach because it looks horrible. I'm going to use a H3 looking spartan, or maybe H2.

And I'll report you for doing as so.

The vidmasters were a joke, and nobody cares that you had social problems in first grade.


Lol, report all of my posts, I don't give a flying -blam!-.

HA!!! I love that Bungie conducted that little -Blam!-, it's so much fun to view.

I don't get it. Wearing a certain armor suddenly causes my skill level to go down? I'm sorry, we earthlings live in the real world, where superficial things don't define who we are or how we play. Do you really think that certain armors are predisposed to different ways to play?

And yes, the Vidmaster's were a struggle for me, mainly because I couldn't find the right people. You know, the ones that don't lag out and can actually hold their own. You're really coming off as a troll to me right now, seeing as how your account has been created only two and a half weeks ago and your gamertag remains unlinked.

Newsflash! Had it ever occurred to you that you didn't have to use a guide or a walkthrough? Guides and walkthroughs kinda make achieving your goal a whole lot less exciting. Did you try finding all of the skulls without a guide? Or did you even attempt Endure without a guide? Yeah, I didn't think so. I honestly can't believe that you're whining about how easy it is when you took the easiest possible route to obtain it. :/
