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?

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

If something as small as that is going to keep you from playing the game, good riddance. The achievements are still there and you can still get them if you'd like, but there is no reason to spend the time recoding something like that. At the end of the day, it's just armor and it has no affect on the gameplay. Quit overreacting.

"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


The vidmasters are incredibly easy, you're just bad.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

343i screwed up.

What are you some kind of troll prodigy? Sure the ones you dont need other people to complete aren't hard, do you not know how to read?

Cbf'd doing the achievements and can't be bothered modding my recon so it's probably a good thing.. although im not going to put it on..

Considering that the first game I ever played was Halo: Combat Evolved when I was about five, I would consider myself an avid Bungie/343 fan. See you on Halo 3! And Reach, and Combat Evolved Anniversary, and Halo 2...

I was looking forward to doing all of my vidmasters, and I was gearing up to do them right before I went to change my armor and woke up to fancy man Recon armor & ODST helmet. Has there been yet to see a reason behind why the Recon armor is being tossed around to every n00b on Halo 3?

It's just content, take a pill.

Why not just do the vidmasters anyway, i sure do apperciate what 343 did.

On my Halo 3 tag I got all 79/79 and I think that's pretty impressive. Same with ODST.
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.
Rock on, me too...
