I am a Prothean!

The way to get Recon armor is to get the 7 Vidmaster Achievements but when i looked i my armoury Recon armour was there?

How does that work?

Vidmasters are a waste of time. Don't do them.

This, plus even if you do get the vidmasters, bungie froze the stats so there is no unlock recon button.

Recon armor was given away as a gift from 343 Industries during the stats transfer. Since the stats froze, recon would no longer be available to unlock, so it was given away to everyone.

Recon armor is no longer required to be unlocked by the 'Vidmaster' achievements.

Goodbye Bungie.

343i decided to give everyone Recon armor in Halo 3. They attempted to get the population to rise once again in Halo 3. However, it sadly failed. The population remains at 4,000-20,000 without any increase or decrease. Most people are quite furious with 343i's decision to do this because they worked so hard trying to get the vidmasters or defeat Bungie in 2010 in their live matchmaking session where the winner would get Recon. On the other hand, I believed that this was amazing. I felt amazing knowing that SOMEONE acknowledged that Halo 3 was still alive, that it was made and that it is a legend.

I'm glad that I was able to do the vidmasters in 2009 with my friends... even though it was so difficult ... it is a memory that I'll never forget.

I tried that a couple days ago, but still no. My friend doesn't have it either and we both made new accounts on April 3rd.

Seriously though, 343i handed it out to everyone. Which is pretty cool I guess but now people who actually worked for it like me cannot be differentiated.

Pretty sure that recon was unlocked for everybody who had played halo before the stats transfer. For some reason it seems like if you made a new account after, you can not has recon...
