Recon was the only cool looking helmet that was shown before Halo 3's release. However, Bungie messed up the method of unlocking it.
Meanwhile, Bungie were eagerly anticipating the hunt for the IWHBYD skull, which they set up with clues like "we'll have you jumping through hoops to find it!"
However, someone datamined the method of unlocking it and released it to the interwebz.
Bungie got pissed.
Back at the Bungie forums, someone (name escapes me) started a thread called "I can haz Recon?" demanding the helmet he should have unlocked. There were many posts like it as you can imagine, but for some reason people took to this one and swarmed to it joining their voices to the demand.
Bungie, fresh from having thier greatest ever egg/skull hunt ruined returned to the forums to find that everyone was dramatically pointing out their programming fail and demanding the Recon.
So Bungie decided they weren't going to fix it after all. Recon became a unique item for Bungie employees and a reward for special players. Eventually they allowed people to unlock it by completing the Vidmaster achievements.
End of history lesson.
