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?

Meh...Security is much cooler, and you don't have to go out of your way to impress the community to get it. Recon is a fad, and a very uncool one. Eventually it will mean absolutely nothing in terms of prestige as everyone who has completed the vidmaster achievements will receive it. I do not think this style of community manipulation by Bungie will be done after the release of ODST...I would wager that Bungie will create another community coveted armor permutation, unique colors, emblems - SOMETHING..that will set apart the patricians and plebians when Reach hits the shelves...assuming Reach is as popular as Halo 3. Recon will become available to everyone - and a giant floppy set of bunny ears will take its place in the next game.

Recon looks tough.

Ia m not sure what Bungie is up to. Wish I knew though.

its not "free" armor, you need the vidmasters. and from what i've experienced, not everyone will be good enough to get them. the less skilled players might have a harder time, and i would know, because i'm one of them.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Xx ViRu5 xX Who cares how many people have it? Why is everyone so concerned with what others have or don't have? I think we should stop all these recon threads because they are almost useless. So what if every one has Recon when ODST drops. People that deserve it will have it. And, If you do not like it or want to be orignal, wear CQB. It shoulden't matter what other people say or think. It's just a armor. I dig the Recon and I don't think I will ever take it off before, During, Or after ODST. It looks Hot.[/quote] This guy wears recon and doesent give a crap, why should you?

Mark V is still my favorite.

After ODST, halo 3 is done with, after halo 3 came out, halo 2 gained no special treatment what so ever, same when reach comes out, halo 3 will be patched up every once in awhile, but there gonna be done with it, so they wont be doing much to give people recon such as contests and such, now there giving you recon if you can actually get ODST and actually get the achievements, atleast there making you work for it a little bit and not just giving it away.

Cause I'm awsome!
-
why it just called HALO reach?
-
Why do threads like these get so much attention...
-
And which group are you in?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Shishka [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RufeDude01 at least half the ammount of recon bearers will be doubled[/quote] *head explodes* ... Post Bungie Day, about 1600 people have Recon. That's not even one-onehundredth of the number of people that play Matchmaking in a month. Just because we gave a lot of Recon out a couple weeks ago and everyone's still talking about it doesn't mean that one out of every three people in the world have the armor.[/quote] -z0mg I'm awesome for quoting the Playlist Overlord :P- Everyone just overreacted and said a ton of people have it now. It's the Community of though, which I like to think of as a small group of smart people, large group of people into Halo, and a MASSIVE group of idiots. [Edited on 07.21.2009 9:01 AM PDT]

the only reason i want recon is because i think it looks good with the katana
-
if you get all teh new vidmaster ahivements in odst you'll unlock recon says gamer magaizine
-
Same, as of right now, I have to get all three vidmasters + Legendary done within 24 hours of inserting the game lol.
-
Can someone explain to me why Recon is important? Last time I checked, your armor doesn't make a difference.
-
Who cares rufe. Why all the drama? leave it alone
-
Yes bungie did make recon boring
-
lol once odst comes out and everyone gets it, we wont have to read these threads anymore haha
-
Bungie making recon boring...

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] americanista123 I'm glad more people are getting recon. Some people do deserve it but some honestly don't.[/quote] Someone who does deserve it. [url=http://www.youtube.com/user/ooohemgeeeFTW]This guy. Oh wait, he won it twice. Where did it go? Oh yea, Shishka took it away because he gave his extra set of Recon to some other person(which was allowed by the person who ran the Mythic Map pack trailer contest) and that's a bad thing to do(sarcasm).[/url] Did I say that?

I think it will show the true RECON armor fans because only the people will wear it that love the look and people who wear it only 'cause others can't will stop. (No one likes them anyway.)
