If you get the 2 week ban (first offence) does that stop you from getting Recon in Halo 3? Me & my friends just now were "Achievement boosting", & the code of conduct says nothing against that.
I got 7 achievements on the same day just achievement boosting, then the message popped up, but then I heard that getting banned for ANYTHING causes you to not get your recon. Is this true?
My proof is all 7 achievements done in the same day, and receiving the XP ban message during the same time.
Also, some people say that if it's only your first offence, then I can still get it. Which one is true?

Getting experience banned won't stop you. Do note that the bans do go above mere 2 week exp. bans though.

I turned on Halo 3 to see a notification pop up that I'm banned for one month today. It's been a month since I boosted and I've played campaign since. My friends boost every week and have NEVER been banned even when they have done it for years. I get a one month ban on the first offense! I should stop buying Bungie products and DLC I guess since an inaccurate automatic system is banning people and you can't dispute it. I hate poor customer service like that right there. When I get the rest of my Vidmaster achievements, Recon Armor had better unlock because I met the required terms and that would be unfairly cheating me of a rightfully owed armor permutation.
