Subject: Wow glad we all busted our @ss for recon for nothing...

Does any one else think its dumb that those of us who actually had to work to get the vidmasters did it for nothing? Why would they just give it away, would it really be that harsh to leave the recon button up and make people work for it?

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

Based on campaigns.

Take it to 343.

Yep

I only didn't do annual but that is ok.

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

Account Status: Silver :(

You still got the achievement. On my Halo 3 tag I got all 79/79 and I think that's pretty impressive. Same with ODST.

  • 04.01.2012 3:06 AM PDT

I didn't do the achievements so I'm quite happy about it ;P

Good job, I have every achievement in: (bragging rights initiated)

Halo 3
Halo 3: ODST
Halo Wars
Halo: Reach
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary
- All but 2 in Halo 2 PC


Including all DLC :) But as for this Recon scenario, it isn't a massive deal. Whilst I wouldn't do it if I was in charge, everyone still has the achievements as proof.

How did you do halo wars?! I couldn't even finish it on legendary. I've got all of Halo 2's achievements though :P

Kudos for the Halo Wars and Halo 2 PC achievements. Halo Wars is by far the hardest. ODST takes a while and Halo 3 has a couple that are difficult so I'm proud of those. Reach and CEA are extremely easy (too easy imo), but you did a good job completing the series.

God look at all you hypocrites. First off Recon armor had to be earned. Very few people had it. After that they released the vidmaster challenges which was unfair to those who had earned it the legit way and now 5 years later people are still complaining about that armor and this time about it being available for everyone.

I can tell you this. If you did the vidmasters you didn't earn Recon. It was really easy to get it and you basically got it without doing anything.

Who cares if it becomes available to everyone after 5 years. Who still plays Halo 3? Not that many poeple last time I checked.

Lmao. The vidmasters was hardly "working" for them.

All that is needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

You can still get the achievements. Just pretend you don't already have it, and you've earned it the same way everyone else did.

  • 04.01.2012 9:03 AM PDT

I still want to get the Vidmasters so I can earn Recon, instead of just having it. Anyone want to help? GT - D Town Ninja

They did it because the "Unlock Recon" button here no longer works as of yesterday. 343i could have recoded the button on their site, but why should they waste the time doing that for a(n almost) 5 year old game?

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.

Yup, I kinda think the same. I was a little annoyed that everyone was getting Recon at first then I hoped it would bring back people who left Halo 3. At least I have the chievvos!

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

I remember when I busted my ass playing a video game. I sat so hard that it just busted.

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

Do you need to have games played in order to get it? I have a new account without it.

Arbitor they outnumber us three to one!
Then it is an even fight.

Arbitor > Arbiter.
Arbitor = Rank above Arbiter.

A big thanks to kids that did this to 343 after they heard they get an infection game mode in halo 4 with no thought of normal playlists.

"basically got it doing nothing"??? idk what ur smoking i never said it was impossibly hard but in no way easy. Try getting the annual achievement with a friend thats playd the game twice, or finishing the firefight mission as the only one alive and a plasma pistol. Time has nothing to do with it anyway, who cares if its been 5 yrs?

I dont really thinks its much of a big deal anyway just a waste of effort

They would do that because SOME PEOPLE still enjoy the game. Too bad 343 doesn't care about the community.
