I run Skirmish!!!

it's a really, really stupid mistake... all the people who did hard work on the vidmasters only for it to be thrown away. Im now worried for halo 4. 343i would rather give away armor then update the game at all

Do I really need a signature?

WHAT!!!! Do you have any idea how long it took to get those stupid achievements, to think I even pre ordered Halo 4.

Oh please, it was easy.

OH NO! People can get a piece of ARMOUR? On a game that hardly anyone plays?! That's outrageous!!!!!!!!11one!

Seriously, get over it. The achievements aren't hard to get. Think about the people who were given Recon by Bungie for their work towards the community or excellent Halo videos. How do you think they felt when they found out everyone and their Nans could get just by completing a few achievements.

Exactly, Too many people worked hard for Recon just for it to be given away just like that.
PS(I'm an Original Recon User)

There's just no reason why they can't give flaming Head...

It's been almost 5 years, I'm fine with it.

Well the people who unlocked recon recently must be pretty angry

Giving out Recon to people now isn't a big of a deal as introducing the Vidnaster Challenges was in my opinion. If you unlocked it through that you still have something to show for it. If you unlocked it from Bungie giving it to you, you have nothing.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

I think the so-called 'fans' are being incredibly fickle.

First of all, I want to make the point that this is a piece of virtual armour you get in a video game. Many of you seem to be losing sleep over this, do reassess your priorities in life. Halo 3 is almost half a decade old now, back in the day it was YOU who were the ones demanding that Bungie release Recon to everyone with the endless forum spamming of "can i haz recon?".

The effort we put in with the VidMasters isn't now invalidated as so many of you are whining about; think back to when it was announced that the VidMasters would give people Recon, nobody who already had it (or at least, very few people who already had it) were complaining that others were getting it. It was, yes, the FANS who were complaining that it was becoming available because it would "lessen the importance of those who were given it as a gift".

-blam!- please... These things happen, get over it. Again, it's armour that has no value other than aesthetic obssession.

The game is now almost 5 years old, it was one of the most popular games on XBL up to 2010 and has sold millions of copies. Chances are, many of you don't even play it anymore, you're too enamoured by other games on the market; but to the few that do still play it (like me), are you seriously that fickle to get worked up about a piece of armour that's already available to everyone?

What you call "the real work" for getting Recon was actually from 2007-8 where fans would have to break their backs doing ridiculously awesome things for the community or winning tournaments, if you don't have Recon 3 years on from when it became so widely available then do you really deserve it? No, if you've not been able to get it for 3 years then it's clear you're not good enough for the worth you've attributed to it. But you're getting it anyway so there's absolutely bollock-all reason to complain.

Don't even get me started on the feeling of 'entitlement' people feel for getting flames...

In Layman's terms: "This guy has a point, in fact I actually realise how fickle I'm being... but I don't want to look like I'm wrong so I'll dodge this with a half-assed attempt at humour."

Besides, if you call that 1 post a 'novel' I can judge that you've probably never read a book with more than 20 pages.

mirite?

your missing the point here man, big time. The point a lot of people are making including myself, is if 343i is going to do anything to halo 3, Why release the armor to everyone? Why not make a playlist with all the double exp game types in it or even bring back the double exp weekends for a short time until halo 4 comes out? That would be bringing people back to halo 3 and sending it out with a bang.

Who says they aren't doing that too? This is just one side effect of the stats transition. It would become completely inaccessible after March 31. Are you saying that is a fair option for those that do pick up the game late?

I thought the reason they did it was due to the unlock button being linked to B.net? Or am I oversimplifying things?

I honestly can care less and, in fact, am glad they're doing this rather than having it locked from every player who never got the chance to get the achievements and press that button.

In addition, what will really piss me off is if they don't release the Bungie chest along with recon. It would be such a waste to see the item be permanently locked, forever...
