I love Halo and Bungie. The only games you'll see me play thats NOT halo are Battlefield BC2 Battlefield 1943, Flight Sims, Oblivion, Skyrim, and Minecraft and CoD on occasion.
It has been posted many, MANY times that if you ask for Recon, you'll never get it. Thats what Bungie said BEFORE ODST came out, so what i'm saying is like the 2nd post, they wont just give it to you. Yeah, your friend will just have to buy ODST and work on the vidmasters. He has XBL right? He'll need it. The 4 requirements for the 7 vidmasters are: 1)Halo 3 2)ODST 3)XBL and 4)The mythic map packs. But if he does have these requirements and doesn't already have Recon by now, I'll help if he needs me to. I have all of the Vidmasters.
