Subject: Why yes, you can has Recon!

Can't be too careful with your company. I can feel the devil walking next to me.

Recon is being unlocked for all.

I may not have Recon on this profile, but on my new account, I have unlocked through determination and grit, and it only took me 7 weeks to get it. (That's when I created my new profile.)

I don't understand what it is that I'm reading here, but is 343i really going to unlock Recon for everyone, surely not? Wow... anything else they are going to screw up? Why not give us Haunted Helmet on the 31st March to celebrate this final transition? (Sarcasm.)

I don't care if Halo 3 is 5 or 6 years old, people shouldn't be given something so easily, especially if it took several months to earn and not given freely, and that's the fabled Recon armour. Now everyone will be like "HURR DURR, I AM SO PRO, I HAZ RECONZ!".

On the bright side you can tell that they actually care (A little bit) about H3, so what next? Enchanced playlists?

How is this screwing things up? Things decay over time, and the value of things decay. Naturally the "value" of Recon has decayed over time.

Also, I don't think you understand how the Recon unlock process works. It has to be authenticated by the bungie.net servers. Since Bungie is transferring everything to 343i, there's no way for it to authenticate with the servers.

Same here. Endure took so many tries. One time we were at the very end and the halo servers went offline.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

Even accounts that aren't linked to waypoint or Bungie?

I miss the good old days of gaming. Back when it was about having fun and people weren't just obsessed with Call Of Duty. People used to play for the adventure, story lines and interesting gameplay, not for getting famous or how good the graphics are .......ugh I wish we could go back to that time... back when getting famous and graphics weren't EVERYTHING to people. Back when the gameplay, storyline and adventure were all that mattered.....those were happier times-OpTic Niko

You can still tell people to look at your achievements to show that you got it legit.

This, I'm so busy this week that getting endure is nearly impossible. Thank you 343.

First, Chief was pissed when Recon was finally attainable by doing achievements, now I wonder how he's gonna react.

  • 03.23.2012 1:16 PM PDT

BUT THE DIG SITE IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY!!!

  • 03.23.2012 2:49 PM PDT

Thats not the point. It's noobs like me who had to work 3 times as hard to get it. 5 sleepless nights of trying to do Endure. When I did it I was so happy. All of that now was just a waste of time. Bungie wanted it to be a challange to get.

  • 03.23.2012 4:03 PM PDT

Damn, I spent half the day yesterday helping my friend get the vidmasters..

After months of trying to get it, all ending in failure whether it was due to connection errors, people quitting, or losing the last life on the last brute cheiften of the last wave, and now having no XBL gold to reattempt it, i think this is a welcome consolation prize.

hopefully this brings more players back.

as for the vimasters themselves ... piece of cake. Gotten recon on two different accounts, helped numerous other players get it, and going for recon on my third account. Guess this is the end of the vidmasters as we know it. The last time I did endure was with friends like 2 weeks ago. We had like 35+ lives left lol

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

If 343 gives the Bungie Body with it as well then I'll approve. Otherwise this is nothing for me.

I already have Recon.
