Subject: Recon question.

I was originally The Chad118 but had to switch my windows live I.D.s so i had to create a new Bnet account for my GT anyway. I am The Chad118 Leeroy Jenkins of Halo.

I have been reading on both 343 forums and Bungie's forums. I have read statements saying that after the 31st of March, if you have not unlocked the Recon armor you have lost your chance to do so. I do not usually buy into this -blam!-, but I trust the judgement of people on here more than on 343's forums. Can someone provide me with a source or confirmation of some kind? I don't want to have to assemble the dream team on such a short notice for nothing.

i think it is true but not positive but if i were you just to be on the safe side try and get all the vidmasters you need before that date. Hope that helped.

Well all I need is Endure. I have one person willing to help me get it now, but I still need two more people. If anyone has any ideas or is willing to help please feel free to add me or post on the forums/message me on Xbox with your elaborate plans. Those who contribute will have my undying gratitude and one big ass invisi-cookie.

Yes, that is correct. Since stats and achievements will no longer update here on Bungie.net, if you don't have it unlocked by then you won't be able to get it. 343 has claimed it is a Bungie.net deal and they do not know if they will continue it.

Wouldn't it just be easier to give everyone Recon before this transfer instead of causing people to try and hurriedly get these 7 achievements? I'm going to try to get Endure, but why not just give it to everyone anyway?

Already have it. But this would be true as the option to unlock is on b.net

yea i agree.

Do I really need a signature?

No you cannot get it after the 31st I have heard a lot about this topic myself. By the way your dream team idea will fail if someone has to go (happened to me 3 times) but this may help
-Before the game starts make sure everyone has time to actually complete the challenge.
-Annual takes about two hours
-Classic takes about 10 minutes
-Endure takes about 2 and a half hours
-Deja Vu takes about an hour and a half
-Brainpan takes about 15 minutes
-Lightswitch, I am going to assume you already have it
-7 on 7 Out of luck if you don't have it
Just give up if you don't have 7 on 7 sorry bro

Now then, tell me. What did Miggs say to you? Multiple Miggs in the next cell. He hissed at you. What did he say?

This site can help you with these achievements. They have helped hundreds of people.

Deja Vu - 30 minutes

Annual - 20-30 minutes (They actually hold the world record althought this game is not it.) I think the time was 12:26

Endure - 2 hours approx.

Good guys as well.

As soon as the first guy goes down with blood and steam whistling out through the neat new hole in their head, you know you’re in for a long, miserable game of ‘where the foxtrot did that come from.'

Insane.
Recon was never meant to be something every noob unlocked for free, thats what CQB's for.
Recon is a show of skill, or pure lack of life.
If you get it, it should be because you earned it.

  • 03.20.2012 3:33 AM PDT

Well then I have a lack of a life considering I got Recon when I was a Leutenant. For those of you who don't know that is the minimum rank you can get it legitly.

Recon is a symbol, it's meant to be hard to get. If they give it away, all that hard work goes to waste. I'm not just talking about the people who got it via vidmasters. The people who actually earned it before ODST. It would be really unfair to them.

If he doesn't have it they still have seven on the seventh. It's a permanent playlist

It does. You have to get the achievement on the seventh of the month because the playlist doesn't work like the way it's supposed to. I've already tried the playlist in the past myself, and it didn't give me the achievement when it wasn't on the seventh of the month.

Edit: The OP already has the achievement though.

  • 03.22.2012 1:37 PM PDT

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

It's true because after the 31st we won't be able to change our nameplates either.

  • 03.22.2012 4:32 PM PDT

If I'm honest, I think Recon should of been harder to get, like you need to get 50 in every playlist to unlock.

  • 03.22.2012 4:39 PM PDT

No recon would then have only be gotten by modders and serious no lives.
