Subject: Is it still possible to get Recon armor?

Born to Lose, Built to Win.

Subject explains it all - but yeah, are you still able to obtain Recon? I've noticed the 7 on the 7th playlist is still available.
Also if you can obtain it would anyone be game to help me get it? I'd be very appreciative. Cheers.

Yeah you're absolutely right I do. That's nice. Still doesn't fix how bad they're -blam!- up Halo IV. Lmao. That's for another topic though.

While I'm on this subject. I was 10 Gamerscore shy from 1000, I just got it, I'm guessing I'm not getting my Katana chest plate and the remainder of the armor obtained from 1000 GS right? Pretty salty over it.

All the armour except for Recon and the Bungie chestplate is achievement based I think. You should still be able to get it. If you havn't got it now you'll need to get the 49 original achievements for Halo 3 (It is 49 right :S).

Oh crap it's the 49 ORIGINAL ones? Not DLC? That's garbage :> And yeah it is 49. Well now I know I need to grind heavy. If anyone wants to help me get the last I think 4 I need for it feel free to add me n____n

Hmmm, rebooted my xbox after getting over 100 GS tonight in Halo 3 and it loaded Katana chestpiece for me, guess you don't need 49 unlocked, just over 1000. Regardless - Win Win situation. Fffff yes.

If you havn't got the original 49 sometimes it disappears. Thats what I think was happening

343 handed everyone Recon for free after the final transfer.

I don't know why you care though, its 2012 and Recon was only really relevant when practically no one had it.

  • 05.06.2012 4:54 AM PDT

Better luck next time buddy.

I haz recon armour, i liek so kewl.

But yeah since everyone has it it's kinda not cool anymore.

On your second question, 1000 gamerscore will be enough for you to keep your katana, it won't disappear after awhile.

It's not so much the fact I care that everyone has it, it's so much the fact how much I wanted it back in the day, like a little kid waiting for Santa to drop off his favorite toy on Christmas Day. It's just nice to be able to rock that armor set for a few matches before I switched back up to my personal favorite armor set-up.

I run Skirmish!!!

everyone has recon now, it's not even special anymore. It was back when people got it for doing cool maps or something crazy for the community. But when i see people who haven't even finished the campaign running around with it, it kills the armor.
