You're going to need to License Trasfer then, if you're trying to get it on the new Xbox.

Below is what you need to do (From Xbox.com):

Transfer content licenses

You can transfer content licenses from one console to another once every four months.

If your console was recently repaired, or if you've purchased a new console, use the license transfer option on your console to transfer content licenses. Here's how:

1. On your console, sign in to Xbox LIVE using the gamertag that you used to purchase the content.

2. Go to the Settings, and then select Account.

3. Go to Your Billing Options, and then select License Transfer.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to transfer the content licenses.

After the licenses are transferred, you need to download the content again to update the local licenses. This way the content can be used by other profiles on your console and when you're not connected to Xbox LIVE.


Hope this helped!

Doing a transfer shouldn't effect this. The licenses are for the old console yes but still apply to your profile. I recently changed my 360 too. The difference I found was that when I loaded my 2nd profile on halo reach my 2nd lot of blue flames (scrub that think eternal was there) my legendary yellow flames and my recon helmet and multi threat chest a mate from USA gave me where not in the armory. So in the event of running your 2nd profile on your new console (if you have one) then you will need to license transfer, it should not effect your main profile. (However I read up on the redownloading of your old items before I did my data transfer to the new HDD, so its possible that I transfered my licenses already. Try the above posts suggestions if it doesnt work not sure what to tell you). Only other way to tell is that your maps shouldnt work either. If you did indeed have recon and you had all the map packs too, then it would say you had maps missing as well as not showing your recon. As these too would need to be transfered.
