Because people still can't be bothered to read the rules, here's an FAQ regarding Recon Armor.
Recon armor topics and debates have recently become a full blown epidemic. In this case, [b][u]any thread about Recon Armor will be met with a stern ban.[/b][/u] Bungie has decided to use Recon as a means to either reward exceptional community members or any other way they see fit. Begging for it, selling yourself into slavery, hippo licking™ or posting every "leet" video that you've ever taken will not get you Recon Armor.
Let me also clarify this rule with another post.

If you were following the rules, your thread wouldn't have gotten locked.
If you want to find the source of your problem, locate a mirror. The rules apply to everybody - the mods aren't on a power trip because you happen to not like a certain rule.
Nothing about Recon armor ever needs to get posted. You can't have it, you don't need to know how to get it, we don't care about your complaints about how you can't have it, or gloating that you do have it. If you want to talk about it so bad, make a group where you can make it so that all threads have to be about Recon armor.[/quote][/url]

Additional: If you see a thread that is entitled "How do I get reconz?" or anything similar, if you reply to it, [i]you're bumping a spam thread and keeping it alive.[/i] Under no circumstances are you to reply. Even if you intend well, you are ruining the forums by doing so and you will be blacklisted. If you want to tell the OP that their thread is off-topic, do so with a PM only. Thank you, you have been warned.[/quote]

Ok for all of you who do not understand what ash is saying I will summarize it for you. If you reply to any Recon thread you will get a [b][i]minimum[/b][/i] 3 day blacklisting. If you you do it again they will just get longer. Now is that simple enough to understand?[/quote]
[quote][/quote][u]A mini FAQ about Recon:[/u]
[b]What is Recon Armor?[/b]
[i]Recon Armor is a special set of armor for Halo 3. It was originally given out to Bungie Staff and is a much sought after reward. [/i]
[b]How do I obtain some reconz for me?[/b]

Following up on this, asking folks from Bungie or here on the forums if we'll give it to you is a pretty great way of ensuring that you won't. Go about your business, be good folks and be excellent to everyone. And I'd probably advise against behaviors that would augment your EXP in some fashion, as well. We're watching, making lists, checking them twice and doling out treats when appropriate.[/i]
[url=http://www.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12857][i]I’m making a list, I’m checking it twice, and it’s a list of dumb messages (and perfectly polite ones) inquiring about the Recon armor permutation. The short answer to those inquiries is, “No, you can’t have it.” The people you see with the Recon helmet are Bungie employees, and they did nothing in-game to unlock it. There is nothing you can do to unlock it.[/i][/url]
[url=http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12901][i]We’ll give it out based on good deeds and valuable community service and occasionally because they make us laugh, as seen above. There will be plenty of occasions and reasons to get it. PM-ing and emailing us will not make any difference. But play nice and be a good sport and who knows?[/i][/url]
Recently we've been hearing a lot of chatter about “go to this link and send it to 50 of your friends” type messages showing up in people's messages. This [b]will not get you recon[/b] by either sending or trying to participate in them. Ignore them and block the user.
Also information about going into your internet browser and changing your Halo 3 Service Record picture to recon will not get you recon. This is only a local change in how your browser reads Bungie.net and you will be the only person who sees a new picture in your Service Record.
[b]Where can I see this recon armor?[/b]
[i]Follow this link to read Halopedia's article about it [url=http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Mark_VI_MJOLNIR_Powered_Assault_Armor/R_variant] here.[/url] There are also other websites that feature pictures and tidbits of information about it as well, please pick your search engine of choice (google for example) and initiate a search for it.
Additionally using Bungie's own search feature and can look up previous topics about Recon.[/i]
[b]Can I has recon!?[/b]

"it's like putting a giant jolly rancher behind a pane of glass. You can look, you can salivate, but you can't has jollyreconrancher." i just posted that today, and hell, i'm giving myself a pat on the back.

This is my first post and let me start off by saying, WOW! I didn't realise this armor was such a big deal. I expected their to be a few threads, but it is much more serious then I had thought. I also know what Bungie means by not wanting people not to ask for it. For the past week all my cuzin would talk about is this armor, which is the main reason I came just so I could see what all the fuss was about. It sounds pretty easy to get to me. I mean play nice and crak joke every once in a While? Thats pretty much what anyone would do around their friends. I don't see why so many people don't have it. Then again I ain't got it either so I guess I basicly shot myself in the foot. Having something that everyone else wants would be nice but all this noise over it hardly seems worth it. Don't get me wrong it loks pretty good, but maybe im just not one of the lucky ones. Kinda like playin the lottery lol you always play, but never win yet you still keep tryin!

it ROCKS BUT DONT BOTHER BUNGIE OR THEY WONT GIVE YOU THE RECON HELEMENT.
-
Yoozel stop crying over the armor dont pretend to be up holding some sort of stupid law so bungie give it to you.
-
the recon armor looks okay but not good enough to anoy the blam out of every bungie member any chance you get.Bungie employees work hard(although lazy sometimes)they should be able to get a few perks for themeselves.(recon is overated anyway). [Edited on 05.25.2008 8:22 AM PDT]

I DONT WORK 4 BUNGE ANY WAY
-
go 4 it
-
"Hail Bungie"?? are you stupid?
-
The Halo series was great until Bungie made it
-
Is posting a topic such as "Why do you think people like recon" bannable? Because I just wanna see what others think and it will have no asking for recon asking how to get or anything like that, but I just wanted to verify that it is ok to start a topic such as that.

-
hang on a sec i im not asking about it
-
technically isn't this thread about recon. so because of this thread this thread's illegal but if this threads illegal then you have no way of telling people no threads about recon. but if that's the case then recon threads wouldn't be illegal since you cant tell anyone it's illegal so that means this thread's legal. but if legal then it bans recon thread's and itself is a recon thread...

i have a cool film clip
-
just dont ask
-
can i haz recon? lol =D
