I Blame Stosh

Hey guys dumb question, Do you still have to complete all the vidmaster challenges to get recon?

I only ask because i have been seeing people with recon online that havent even played the campaign.

343 systematically unlocked it for everybody. I don't know if they finished yet or not, but everybody gets it for doing nothing now. Since it's impossible to get it with the Vidmasters now.

If you don't already have it and you have an Xbox Live Gold Account? Yes.

As part of the final transition of Halo services, we will begin unlocking Halo 3 Recon armor for all Halo 3 players in the very near future. This process, which will be done in waves, is expected to last several days. As always, thank you for your patience, and we'll have more details for you in next weeks Halo Bulletin.

TL;DR - Yes, everyone can has. <3

I won't sit here and pretend that I actually care about the fact that they did that, but still... Remember the amount of excitement, followed by dedication and hard work, that the original Road to Recon took... and then 343 ended up just giving it away.

It's a shame... but hey, it's only an armor skin.

We all should actually be lucky that bungie did the road to recon achievements. Remember the real people who worked hard doing things for the community to originally earn recon?

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

No, but it will still look good to have all of them.

If you don't have it, you wont get it. 343s stopped handing them out.

I thought that it won't work anymore because you had to unlock Recon through Bungie.net? I suppose 343 Industries could've made it automatically unlockable through the achievements, but I've never heard of this.

In that case, there's no way to get Recon anymore, OP.
