I never got recon armor in Halo 3, but I have it in reach and I never even use it. Was the whole appeal of the armor not being able to have it, or at least until achievements were completed?

Recon Armor was simply an armor type like all others

yeah, I mean I know, but people freakin' revered it. If it had been ODST armor, would it have been the same? I think so.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

I wanted to get the vidmasters anyway just for the challenge, so yeah, Recon was just a bonus.

I don't care. I really don't.

No. That's why I don't have it, except in Reach. Which came with the game. So, no. It's not.

Everyone loves the r3c0nz. No but in all seriousness, in Halo 3 it was just that thing you couldn't have, and in Reach its just another armor permutation.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

At first, it was so rare (~1000 people had it) so everyone wanted it.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

Yep. Why? Because I didn't buy into the hype. It was never more than some ugly armor that I'd like to own just for the sake of owning all of the armor.

Once I got it, I was satisfied that I had all the armor, and pretty much never wore it... with the exception of the shoulders, because I like low profile things, and they are pretty low-profile.

I'm a stubborn guy. I love to argue my opinion, but unlike others, I'll try to see your side of the problem. I'm a triathlete, with a very heavy empephis on the swimming bit. Also, don't hate on the ~Quinton~ at the end of my posts. Why are you still reading this? #creeper #hashtagcashmoney for hashtaging on Bungie.net

By default we want what we cant't have. Bungie and a few select others had it. Majority realized that they couldn't have it. Thus they wanted it.

It was a status symbol "i went out and did all the challenges and therefore i am superior to you in this way" kind of deal. I'm sure some of the most expensive armor in reach (the lightning storm thing) will take it's place

recon wasnt worth it becuase dumb kids would always send me friend request thinking im a bungie member

It's not worth it because people get angry from people bragging all day,if you watch Arby 'n' the Chief episode 3 you will see what I mean.My friend got recon in halo 3 one day and now some of my friends call him Mr.Recon. Recon does not make you better than any one else.Recon is over used now no longer cool for me.People bragging make me want to leave the game in a flash.It ticks people off.Recon is like all the other armor just alittle hard to get.Huge no,aint worth it.
