Bungie trying to push in recon?
It seems like now that many more people have recon and it is becoming less special even with halo 3 still out. Bungie seems to be pushing it with the Bungie vs The World Day and the Microsoft Challenge.
It's almost like they want everyone to have it because when out comes ODST everyone with live will have it and games will be based with strictly recon wearers. I rememeber when recon was hard to get with the screenshots let alone any other way.
Bassically I am saying that Bungie is pretty much just trying to hand out recon at this point and by the time ODST comes out I predict at least half the ammount of recon bearers will be doubled and when ODST comes out I would say in weeks the Recon population will double.
How special is Recon if everyone has it?

Good point about why no new armor ^^^^
-
It's been brought up countless times before. Bungie [i] can [/i] make more armor perms but [i] will not[/i]. The main reason is that it would have to make significant changes to the games coding which could possibly create significant bugs. Bungie would have to spend a lot of time and resources testing and patching stuff before they could do something like that and personally, I would rather them spend that time/resources on making a new armor for Reach, or making something else super awesome. Or even *gasp* a new IP!!!! And yes, the Recon and Bungie variants were already in the game when it shipped.

those vidmaster challenges are to easy to get when odst comes out recon would be just like the katana, everyone will have it
-
I believe that since ODST is giving out Recon to all players, there will be a new head/body/shoulder. Then we will go back to people wanting Recon but this time, people want the xxxxxx. Oh and does that mean that eveybody will get it? Even if people are on "the list"?

The fact that something that is hard to get is naturally wanted by everyone is just human nature. You'd like the [insert random item here] you bought for $100 dollars better than the same item for $5. Truly, it's just an armor permutation. If you have it, you have it. If you don't, get over it. All that really matters is whether it truly appeals to you, regardless of how hard it is to get. Going off on another tangent: Honestly, I think that there are enough armor permutations for Spartans. I mean, really, they load up all the armor on one player build (Spartans) and completely neglect the other (Elites). Just because fewer people play as Elites doesn't mean that they should have any fewer choices. They could come up with a few new types: Arbiter armor, Honor Guard, etc. I know, I heard that there [i]was[/i] a hitbox issue with the Arbiter armor (something about the Arbiter being more lanky), but come on, it's Bungie. They could make it work! EDIT: Yes, I know that Bungie has said can't make more armor permutes, but then how does Recon (and even the fire) get onto the game? Unless they were purposefully integrated into the game from its release, they should be able to make more armor permutes. Which I wouldn't doubt, seeing as Bungie is a huge, mastermind company.

ya because there are over 200 thousand + people who play
-
I highly doubt that way more then 1500 people have it. Seriously because the fact is i hardly ever play a recon member.
-
WAY more than 1500 people have recon

They did say that you'd be well on your way to recon. It's implication to achieving recon armor. They didn't say you WILL get recon when you get it. They just said you'd be "well on your way." For all we know, players could only receive one part of the armor beating the vidmasters.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] chopstixorcist People keep begging for recon. Bungie delivers. Oh and btw only about 1500 people have recon. That's less than .001% of the population that play each day. That sure is a big number ¬_¬[/quote] Wrong! They gave out Recon to 1000 people alone on Bungie vs the World.
-
I can't wait for all the "Oh no I lost my Recon" or the "I had Recon but it locked itself" threads. It's gonna be priceless.

not every one will have recon cause im not buying ODST and what are the chances of me really getting recon armor.i want it but its not gonna happen.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Achilles1108 I can't wait until everybody can have it. Then I will get a lot less messages and FR from people I don't give a rats ass about.[/quote] So harsh...
-
Ya but how cool would it be to have if everyone had it?
-
i love recon as much as any 12 yr old does but evry game i go into thers literaly one person ready to spam my inbox with: friend requsts, how did you get recon ,etc etc long story short, recon is more trouble than its worth...but its cool to know you have it lol

[quote]i really think it was a large marketing strategy first they would get everyone hyped up about recon then they will give it away to certain people making others jealous then they will announce ODST and say you may be able to get recon if you buy and beat it. So people are going to be really excited and buy it to get recon[/quote] exactly, it's a clever marketing ploy that may get a few people to buy the game for recon, but the only reason i'm buying the damn thing is firefight and the new maps. ODST is in no way shape or form worth $60 compared to halo 3, but these days it's all about the money. Not trying to be a bungie hater but for a 15 year old kid $60 can be alot of money.
