i do not see what the big deal is with recon people. You should stop whining if u do not have it. Just keep working at it and sooner or later u might just get the recon armor. But really who cares about your armor. Like if u stop playing the game you would have done all of that hard work just for nothing. For instance i do not have recon but i am not getting sad over that. I can just keep on trying untill i get it.
If you would like to add me as a friend my gamertag is: jasonDoc1
i just subscribed to x-box live and have no friends to play halo 3 with...
OMFG I JUST GOT ALL THE ARMOR!
halo3 is sweet
i gots scout armor some eva and some hayabusa
i got alot of them spartins now i love wering haabusa my frends want my help and i got all scout all eod i love this web site who ever made this web site make it the same but with hallo 3,2,1 pictures all over the place plz oh my bro said thx pfft
I got the scout armor it's awesome!
I do want Recon Armor, but not as far to the point that I want to piss Bungie off about it, I do want it, so instead of crying to Bungie why don't you try and get the vidmasters like I am
WHY ARE THESE SO HARD TO GET? THE ONLY HELMENT IVE UNLOCKED IT SCOUT! DAMMIT I WANT MORE HELMENTS!!!
There is a Mjolner EOD body, and it is not a Mjolner Mark VI body.
i had a the sword and security head and now they is gone 4 some reason.
4 some reason though i earned them without doing the right things. 4 the sword and security head i didnt get all the achievements but randomly got them after playin some campaign on normal???
im confused???
recon is very hard to get
For some reason i got security shoulder pads and when i unlocked hayabusa sholder pads they disapeared can someone tell me how to get the security shoulder pads, because different websites are telling me different things and im a bit confused =P
me and my bud bucksot887 are rocking with halo 3 armor.....we just unlocked three sets of it!
And by the way the only appeal of recon is the fact that it's the hardest to get. If mark IV were harder to get than recon then it would be the cool armor everyone wanted. After all armies just for showing off.
Halo fan 101 what do you mean getting recon without vidmasters? That's the only way to get it without hacking. And if you ever go online with a hacked profile bungie has a notification system that alerts them and they ban you from matchmaking permanently. I've got 5/7 vidmasters so far and I'm working on more with some friends soon.
I was an elite in Halo 2 now sinse the armor Upgrades I have trouble deciding what species to be but I want people to recognize my armor like Hey thats Jer !
I got all armor bout to get recon :D no not with vidmaster muhaha
i hate some armor you have to play online to get some armor ps:skull collecting is hard too i only have c.o.b and eva shoulders and a scout head and the chest plate of the hayabusa armor
I think all the armor wAs easy to get except recon it's stupid what makes it so much more special than the others
halo3 recon is also advailble to get by unlocking 4 special acheivements in halo3 odst but i like have armor that people dont want
If you ever see the name "Joseph" on here again, it's not me. It's someone pretending to be me.
i got nearly all armor now, i just need a few more... i need acetic and its rlly hard :(
my gt is the were rabbit
oh and i forgot recon is as good and or better then most of the others some are better but recon is good just because you guy cant get it or lack the skill to get it dosent mean you need to trash it like that
i haz recon and if you don'y bleave me my GT is zozo749 all you need to do is get all of the vidmaster
if u have the multiplayer mytyhic maps u get the skulls and tank drop achevments
i got scout, mark VI, mark V, odst, CQB and a few others
Some people need to stop complaining about not having recon, others need to stop saying how stupid they think it is and what they think is better. To me armor is all about showing off your accomplishments, and recon is by far the hardest armor to get. I need some really good players to help me with the vidmaster challenges (annual, endure, and deja vu) my gamertag us AmazedErmine add me and we'll help each other out i've finished legendary already once.
i dont get why it is so hard to get the ascetic armor for the elite i got it but i dont know how i got it lol
I haz no frends so plz adz meh. Lolz. Plz adz meh agen. My gamurtag is johnnyblaze427.
all the armor is really cool:)
i cant get all the Ascetic Armor its so hard coz i cant get the 2 achvements 'Steppin' Razor' and over kill
thanks to halo 3 odst you can now get recon easier by completing odst's campaign on legendary you unlock veronica dare for fire fight and her amour is recon. hope i helped out thankyou for taking your time to read this.
are the vidmaster challenges hard?
can i have recon plz i really want it and for me it is hard to get armor plzzzzzzzzzzzz
hehe recon kinda sucks like the good old halo gamer still loves the mark V and mark VI armor like it still looks so damn good afther 12 long years of playing halo CE halo 2 and halo 3 all over again i'm still in love with the good old mark V and mark VI armor :)
gratzz
will you make a video telling us what or how to unlock these acheivments?
Thank you all for the comments but please, stick to talking about armor. It does NOT have to be about recon. So other than that, ask us anything that has to do with armor.
:)
joeseph you may have been one of the people here with a kidergarden education but thats all youve got
i am friends with the dude who won the recon armor and if you watch red vs blue you would agree he sounds like combose
i am so mad i was getting endure my last vidmaster until recon and i was on the third round of set three and i was the last man standing with one enemy left and it stuck me and that dude has the grammar of a chinese 4 year old trying to speak english and if you want a cool friend my GT is willsterk
PS:Hayabusha sucks everyone has it
recon is cool but i dont like it that much i like busa better.
dudes who can help get me security armor and some achivments gamertag:roguedarkstar50
Why has this site gotten all wound up about recon? You can talk about so many better things you know. And why the bloody hell are you knob heads worried about spelling? Oh, and one more thing, this site needs more britians. Everyone is always taking us all for granted. Some people here are in need of an arse beat.
if u ever hear of 2 guys gamertags called johnnyblaze427 and KYLE GOES BOOM make sure u give them hell cause theyre so fuckin annoying as shit. my gamertag is AZIAN 08
Why are all of you so terrible at spelling? The only people here who don't actually have the education of a kindergartener are GrammerNazi,Xizibit, and me. One more thing, if you're gonna talk about armor, talk about cool armor that we can agree on. How about hayabusa?
Gamertag: johnnyblaze427
i can't get the scout helmet, i don't have halo 3 campaign, so it's hard. :/ any tips?
btw, recon is bullshit, it only looks good (the shoulders don't, they look like eod) and for bragging rights, it's outrageous, so people even dream of recon, i don't even want it.
