Subject: RECON FOR ALL? NO JUST NO!

Seems just yesterday I was playing Halo CE as the only Halo.

Well, if you haven't had your head in the sand for the past 24 hours you would know that bungie just unlocked recon armor for everyone on Halo 3. Now I know that some of you might be like "OMG IMZ LOVEZ RECANZ" Bungie you just couldn't leave recon alone and just have it be locked for everyone that didn't get it by now and have a message pop up saying ("Recon is locked forever now"). (BTW,you could of unlocked it for 3 -blam!-ing years...")

I'm upset, because I actually unlocked recon from Bungie day 2009 and it actually meant something back then and it pisses me off seeing a kid that is still an "Apprentice" having recon. Getting it from the vidmaster achievements was far enough but now everyone has it. However I do have a fix for this recon problem, just give people that got recon from the vidmasters or got it from "Bungie", the "Bungie" chest. Easy as that...

Also, if you say that having the chest lags the FPS in the game. I shall remind you that this isn't the xbox original we're talking about. I would say maybe it would lag if you had a BTB with everyone using it if the host is a 1 armed pirate with a paid subscription to dial-up enterprises.

I hope to god that this is just a early April Fools joke...


I sincerely take this as a "SLAP" in the face...

Good Day Sir.....

Nobody cares, and 343i unlocked Recon.

I'm not racist, I own a colored TV

Right, but, it never meant anything.
You only got fr from nine year olds who only wanted to brag about having you on their list.

Halo 3 is on it's final legs and if Reach fanboys want to come to Halo 3 for a few games to try it on, more power to the people that stick with this game.

Get over it man. It's a piece of armor in a game.

I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all.

Lol, I got Recon by the Vidmaster achievements and it doesn't bother me. What ever keeps the community happy as they are that 99.99% and you are the ERM... 00.01%?

Seems just yesterday I was playing Halo CE as the only Halo.

343i didn't have control over it at the time, they got control over it at 12:00 am. My cousin unlocked it around 9:00pm yesterday, so that means Bungie gave it out to everyone. I know that Halo 3 is basically dead, but I was one of the people who originally started playing it, back when it had an amazing community that was actually fun.

I've had all kinds of fun on Halo 3 and now it's gone. The only people left on it are -blam! heads and little kids anyway, so I could really care less.

Goodbye Bungie! Now all we have to look forward to, are these new -blam!- games with the "Halo" stamp on them. These upcoming Halo games from 4-6 and whatever else they can milk the series for (i.e. Halo Odst Part 2) are all going to be big -blam!- jokes as well as insults to the entire world of Halo that Bungie built, but don't give a -blam!- about anymore.

Bungie gave everything Halo to 343i months ago. They are only stopping the stat tracking on bungie.net today.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

Yeah, it kind of removed the fact that Recon was special. But there's nothing we can do, so we'll just have to grin and bear it. People who deserve Recon can still be proud of their accomplishment, and noobs can enjoy a facet of the game they wouldn't have otherwise experienced.

"Right now it is raining methane on Titan. The planet Uranus is, hilariously, orbiting the sun sideways while Venus spins backwards. We sit here on a planet marked with collisions, rocked by earthquakes, shaken by storms. A planet doomed to be fried in radiation as its magnetic fields collapse, until the sun grows and leaves nothing of the earth but dust. Here we sit, glasses on our noses, inhalers in our pockets, braces on our teeth, and we say "Behold the perfect ORDER of it all!""

Get over it.

This isn't 2007, where Recon was some super special awesome rare piece of armour. It's 2012, where everybody who still plays Halo 3 either has it or just doesn't care about it in the slightest, and probably wouldn't wear it even when they have it.

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

Based on campaigns.

You do realise 343 have been managing Halo for the past few months. Today 343 gave everyone recon as a celebration that they now fully control Halo stats

You know who got a freebie and who did the 'work' for it. Just check their achievements.

  • 03.31.2012 10:34 AM PDT

I used to have it on Theycallmefly but when I heard you could get it for free, I made a new account. I don't Recon as an option. Why not?
