Subject: recon helmet

when we bought the halo reach game my daughter was the only one that had an xbox account. When my daughter tried to redeem the code for the recon helmet it never appeared but it was no big deal to her. Now that my son is playing he really wants the recon helmet. When he started playing he overwrote her name. Any ideas on what we can do.

Are you talking about reaching a certain rank online or offline

I'm watching you.

His response wasn't very clear. Once you reach the rank of colonel you can buy the base recon helmet like normal. The bonus helmet you put the code in was for the second variant of the recon helmet.

As for your original problem, I'm not too sure. I guess I would try redownloading it from your download history.

Well, you can get the rank offline, but it takes exponentially more time. You can do two things: you can rank up to Colonel on Reach or you can buy the helmet off ebay.

Note that the code gives you a Recon helmet with a specific attachment, while unlocking it in the game gives you the helmet with zero attachments and one with a completely different attachment.
