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]

Dude exactally whats with people and the r word I mean its not like your gonna just give it to them..I mean WTF? No one cares how hard you work on: Matchmaking,Forge,Custom or The classic I worked so hard to get the katana body. I mean if you ask me I dont give a damn about the r word..its over Coveted and nothing but hype.. Just because you have the r word doesnt mean OMG Your A god At Halo or nething special like that.. So please fellow fans stop trying so hard to get the r word..what are the chances of getting it neway its just armor you play the same way, you just look different and no one cares what kind of armor you have.. If we cared what armor everyone else had on wouldnt al of us be wearing the same armor.. So those are my thoughts on this subject...If any of you have any problems on what I said about the r word or solutions on how to get beggars to shutup for good come talk to me on my other account D34thitself.. Thnx and go kickass and own some noobs
-
alexthered i feal the same way u do. idk y ppl r freakin out over it. its just armor it doesnt help u play or anything. bungie has their own perogative they can do what they want.
-
Let bungie do what they want to do. If they want to give someone the armour then who the hell cares. its a game
-
i wonder if bungie is going to release some new armor for some MS points. it would make the little recon cry babys shut up. do us all a favor bungie. [Edited on 06.02.2008 2:41 PM PDT]

-
yea but i still like it
-
i r is personally think recon r pointless and r get people hacked....
-
me personally i don't care much for the recon (oh my god recon so awesom and stuff)--sarcasm i agree with some of the people on here. recon should be for bungie employees. they busted their asses to make the most awesome game they have ever made. they deserve something for it. i admit the flame job is kinda cool and all but its no use when u have active camo on or when u are trying to peek over a barrier to snipe people. me i prefer my hayabusa armor and my katana. that its RECON IS OVERRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Well I didnt think I would get it so I crafted a crude version out of Paper mache. now when I go Strutting around town. ppl will say "Wow Now there is a team player Bungie sent him a real Reconz"
-
Well phrased Yoozel. Hopefuly we might see less Recon threads now.
-
i think that for reaching the highest rank 50 there should be a special helmet not recon but maybe something different
-
listen dude if you are a bungie member one of said id get recon
-
hey wait a sec,why the heck are we posting on this sticky when it should really be just a warning and FAQ about recon? srsly,my post,should be the final post from now on
-
TO BE HONEST I DONT HAVE A MIC WHAT OVER WAY CAN I SHOW FAIRNESS AND SPORTMENSHIP
-
hahahahahhaah
-
Can I haz recon? guess not.
