hey is there any way I can get the armor? is there a download or do i have to shoot myself in the head or what? cuz I think it would be really kool to have some recon armor. I will even do a wheely on a mongoose!

yea I shot myelf in the head with a sniper rifle about 3 weeks ago on Last Resort... no such helmet for me =/

Thanks for putting up the full short from Neil Blomkamp it's great to see it finally put together the way it was made. Also: Snowbound and I'm willing to put money on it.

dang dude i want the recon so bad! and also the flaming hayabusa

so whats the time for the Halloween matchmaking to kick in?

haha, that traffic cone one is pretty good. CHeck out some of mine. I think I might have outdone them. Gamer tag xXberserkeyeXx CHeck all the moveis. I like the one with the mongoose the best. =D [Edited on 10.29.2007 10:48 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] FoTacTix So they are going to remove the black bars in the update or they aren't? He said they will do what the majority wants....as far as I know everyone has been complaining about the black bars.[/quote] Quoting myself to ask the same question...again

I hope that we can get a lot more chances at earning this armor. I hope that you dont have to make funny videos as being the only way to earn it otherwise we should just call bob saget up and start a new show...now that two ppl have it the -blam!-fest is gunna continue even more now with ppl killing themselves and trying to do something funny. Hmmm..they should just make a new armor that looks way sicker that only elite players can wear via by winning a tournament or something. That way no one can -blam!- and ppl will wanna get better so that they can one day wear the sickest armor ever. That would also be awesome IMO. Id like to see some online tournaments (if possible) with cool prizes.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] armeddrunkdonke "Rank Amateurs I’ve had a lot of mails from skilled Halo players saying things like, “Hey, I am stuck at level 41 skill level and I am not going up, so your skill system must be broken.” Actually, what you’re seeing is that it works. What the system is telling you, is that relative to the other players currently playing Halo 3, you are a level 41. You should not be going up in skill level until you become appreciably and significantly better. If you suddenly developed a whole new level of headshot ability, for example you’d find that your skill level would rise commensurately. It is not, like your rank, supposed to climb inexorably based on experience, but rather to judge and determine your relative skill and match you with players of like skill. My experience is that games are closer, tighter and more fairly balanced than ever before. The spikes happen at the low end, as you mix it up with folks who haven’t played enough to determine a steady skill level. As you get better, progress will slow and eventually halt as the system determines your overall ability and uses that to find matches. It’s important to note that it is an increasingly accurate estimate, designed to become more accurate over the long term. So don’t worry about dips in your performance, or unexpected sprees, those dips and spikes are not given much precedence by the system. In theory, it is trying to put you in the most competitive matches. It is not some goal or trophy – it’s a tool" Thanks for a -blam!- explanation for rankings in matchmaking. This still doesnt explain why when i win 15 games in a row ,versus people who have more skill and exp, that i dont level up. Can anyone please explain that, I have gone on TWO(2) 15 game runs in team slayer and not leveled. Then when i lose 1 game i delevel. If anyone can give me a decent explanation it would be nice. How does myself staying at 40 help determine my skill when i own kids who by halo's all knowing rank system are suposedly better than me. This doesnt make sense, not leveling me because i -blam!- kids doesnt make sense, maybe im just a -blam!- idiot or i expect too much in an explanation from developers that i pay money to play their game . "What the system is telling you, is that relative to the other players currently playing Halo 3, you are a level 41. You should not be going up in skill level until you become appreciably and significantly better." appreciably and significantly better, I can go back and scour my games and show you the steaktaculars my team pulls on 45+'s so how are they better than me, what makes them rank up, these are the questions i want answered not just some vague statement where you quote a random fan mail. I am significantly better than the people i play against yet im penalized because......yet another question id like an answer to. Now i usually dont go on tirades of whining but jesus -blam!- christ i dont pay money and invest time into something to only stay stagnant at one rank and then not even get a decent explanation. [/quote] Alright...I'm sure everything else about the update is all nice and dandy. BUT THIS BS WITH THE RANKS IS NOT A GOOD UPDATE AT ALL. Everything here that armeddrunkdonke has said is what I've tried to say word for word. I think this issue seriously needs to get out. I'm sick of all these suck ups to bungie saying what an awsome update this is when its not, this ranking system is seriously flawed and seriously needs to be revised.

Haha yeah i was reading all those Recon armor threads and i was positive that there was some way to unlock it and i guess this is the way. do something bungie finds appealing like play nice and make a funny video or 2 so i gave it a try with my Mister Cheif Cartoon in a 3 shot series haha Can i has recon? probably not but i gave it a shot check it out if you're interested [url]http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/FileShare.aspx?gamertag=SuperMarc589[/url]

Good work bungie, as we all have come to expect. I am glad someone finally made the rank system clear to all those whining that the system is broken. I do have a problem with the cone incident being rewarded as you can consitantly replicate the impact once you notice the flight path of the rubber bullet. That cone will travel in the same path every time you destroy those fusion cores and all you need to do is practice the shot a few times (and as the poster stated, he shot the barrels as usual) to replicate the impact fairly easily. Its not really one in a million, just one in ten, if you are observant.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Big Math I think it rocks thats your handing out the highly requested Recon helmets to those two based on the merit of those videos. I might also suggest BlackShadowMist for the same merited reward. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyFN7YipYzE][best sticky ever][/url][/quote] Dude that was mad luck fool, It is funny once you think of how the person got hella pissed and started screaming BS about that sticky but still it was all luck! Bet your friend can't do it again!?

when i play 2 players or more on Halo 3 on my xbox the side of the screen is black on both sides, so its not a full screen, are they also working on that?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Frankie [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] odmichael Wait so, will we be able to download these Holloween treats to our Xbox 360's or will it be unavailable for download? Good update by the way. I love the kindness to give out Recon Armor.[/quote] You'll see. It will be easy and fun. if you miss it, nothing to worry about.[/quote] [url=http://http://www.bungie.net/stats/halo3/fileshare.aspx?gamertag=Cryptic125&pub=8724248] hey frankie i bet you gonna love this[/url]

Thanks, but i decided to take advantage of walmarts lax return policy and i got a new (properly working) xbox. Works fine now.

I'd kind of like to know the window for simultanious melee so that I can check to see if I'm not just dieing from the animation. I don't like seeing my melee land and then dieing myself.

I don't like that, they kill them selves and they get Recon. Well that is the way of the bungie gods.

HOLY -blam!-!!!! That video was freakin awesome, i hope they make the movie look like everything is real and not CGI

I miss the mister chiefs!

Hell yeh dat pwnage by cone is crazy. But the story behind this so called "recon armor" takes the cake.

A little love is better than recon armour ... but only because I play as an Elite![/quote] Dude I've got to give you mad Props man I mean seriously to get killed by a street cone that is quite funny and yet a bit humiliating once you think of it but its still funny to watch!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Karpzilla WHAT'S RECON ARMOUR? CAN YOU SEE BETTER WITH IT? I DON'T GET IT. DO YOU MEAN SCOUT ARMOUR? THATS THE SAME RIGHT. I HAVE IT NANANANA BOOBOO. [/quote] Um no dude the Recon armor is only for the bungie producers its nothing compaired to the Scout armor perm there is nothing in common about the two. and another thing it isnt that hard to get all the armor for the Master chief I have all execpt the Security helmet. Because I have yet to get 100% Gamer score.

truly I think it should be given to people who actually care about other people. Bungie giving it to people who make you laugh will not make you look cool. Also I have one suggestion. Please put more space for screenshots and contenet I am full on everything and dont feel like deleting any of it even my file share is full. Yes I have bungie pro [Edited on 10.29.2007 1:13 PM PDT]
