Subject: What do you think about 343i giving recon out?

Please. The only people that did any amount of work for recon were the people who earned it before those vidmaster achievements. Any weight that armour set had before has already been lost, so it isn't like they're marring the good name of recon armour.

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?


the only thing they said they were doing was releasing the armor. I say who cares about the armor and i would rather have the double exp playlists back which they are not doing

That's not why their giving it out.

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...

Thats a nice novel you wrote there.


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?

No your not. I was never being fickle about this. I don't have the armor so I was actually exited about this day, so you fail.
Oh and since you wanna talk about education its *realize*. :)
Did I insult you by saying "Thats a nice novel" in such a way that you had to say that? Seriously, you are immature.

ME2 was known for stupidity and being retarded

I never attempted to get it, so I don't care, but I'm sure some people will break down and cry their heads off because it took them so long to get it.

Seriously, you can't get it after stats go down, so they kind of have to.

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


You are joking right. Think about the people who got it in 08 or 2010. They worked harder than you did. You did a couple hard vidmasters while they came up with a ground breaking idea, or beat bungie in a playlist that housed more players than employees. They must feel like -blam!-.

I got Recon by hijackin a banshee with a gravlift then splattered the original driver using the banshee tricks... Seriously, it wasn't easy.

WHAT AN UTTER JOKE!!!

I worked my ASS off for those achievements. I put blood sweat and tears into it.. It took me hours of my time to get them, and now it's just being given away. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT. If it's true, I'm not buying Halo 4.

-blam!- YOU 343!

lol no, but since you are all over me and not letting me have an opinion, I said "I (notice the "I"), WOULD RATHER HAVE THE DOUBLE EXP PLAYLISTS" Which is my OPINION that i'm not basing it off any fact.. Why don't you actually play halo 3 and try to get good at it before starting to argue about a part of halo 3

I think that it's awesome. No one will be able to get Recon through the Vidmmasters anymore after March 31st, so if 343i wouldn't unlock it for everyone, no one would be able to get it after March 31st. Of course some people will be mad about this since they worked to get Recon through the Vidmasters, but it's not like the Vidmasters are extremely hard.

It's not 'realize' in England, it's 'realise'...

Ha! I'm the immature one when you're incapable of constructing a competant response to a post, when one just says something as blunt as "that's a nice novel" the general context it's associated with is "I couldn't be arsed to read what you've written so I'll post something stupid about it instead". If that wasn't your intention, you should have made that clear.

  • 03.26.2012 8:15 AM PDT

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

Seriously, we need to move on to the present. No one cares about an electronic armor visual in a game so few people play any more.

There's no need to be hostile. I'm simply saying that you cannot rule out the option that 343i may rerelease DEXP playlists and such until they definitively say that there will be no changes. I don't know where you derived that I was saying you don't have an opinion, nor do I have any idea why you concluded your counter-argument with an attack on me.

Personally, I don't care what they do with it.

I just know that 'not' going through the vidmasters to get them, people are missing out on one of the things that made Halo great. Those annual run, endure and deja vu were some of the most fun I have ever had playing this game. Those who haven't been fortunate enough to do them with a good group of people are poorer for it.

I don't even remember how many total vidmasters I helped others on, but there were many.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

I've had recon because of the achievements long enough, I think its fair to say that everyone can haz reconz.
