I think this is just the Close Quarter Combat Armor, it looks exactly the same if you download the quicktime CQB picture and rotate it to the side.

Alright, in the achievements for the meta-game, it specifies getting over 15,000 points for each. However, I have gotten over 50,000 for some of the levels and it specifically states a score of over 50,000 in the summary of the achievement. May it be that you have to get a score of over 50,000 for each meta-game to get the recon armor, as it is rumored that the meta-game has something to do with the achievement?

The thing is, you can still get the Ranger achievement by getting over 15000, and thats what it specifies if you haven't gotten the achievement. Really, there has to be a reason why it specifies if you've gotten over 50,000 points.


I think the fact that you need 50 000 points is because the level is very long and contain numerous enemies and vehicles, and the 15 000 maps don't contain enough enemies to achieve 50 000, and even if they did, many points would be lost due to dying, betrayal, ennemies being killed by teammates, etc...Beside, if anyone ever got Recon by this way, there would be evidence of it.[[User talk:SErgEantaEgis|SErgEantaEgis]] 20:44, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

== Obviously CQB (Close Quarters Battle Armor) ==
You know why? Because this is off of the June 2007 Gamepro magazine. It shows a red MJOLNIR armor, a blue MJOLNIR coming at the red one with an energy sword, the EVA armor to the side of the blue MJOLNIR, and barely visible right behind the blue MJOLNIR is this picture (obviously of the CQB). If you don't believe me, get the June issue of Gamepro and look right behind the blue Spartan, it looks like he's been put right on top of this armor. --[[Image:Final Goji.jpg|40px]] [[User:Lordofmonsterisland| <font color="green">Lordofmonsterisland]]</font>[[User talk:Lordofmonsterisland| <font color="green">"Roar to me"</font>]] 14:35, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

It's not "obviously" anything. I just pulled up both the wallpaper and the Quicktime C.Q.B., and there are some definite differences. When I first saw the wallpaper, I shrugged off this unknown armour as C.Q.B. too, until I looked closer when this article was made. Now, in comparison: the visors are different. The unknown appears to be a simple thin oval shape, unlike the "T" of the C.Q.B. It is possible that there's a shading issue, but it looks to me as if the unknown armour features a black outline around the visor, creating its own "T" shape. Also, the red on the helmet in the view given is in a zig-zag pattern not found on the C.Q.B. armour. C.Q.B. features no such markings. In addition, the helmets are shaped differently. The unknown armour helmet extends over the visor much like the original MJOLNIR helmet; the C.Q.B. helmet does not. Finally, in the wallpaper, the C.Q.B. has a definitely visible raised portion. The helmet of the unknown armour, on the other hand, appears entirely flush. --[[User:GhostXIII|Ghost]] 16:54, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Bungie WILL NOT give you Recon Armour for sending in videos, images, achievements etc with the intent of getting the armour. They may consider it if you do something special and unique without actually meaning to.
I other words, you can spend hours making picture in Forge using all the weapons and equipment you aint gonna get nothing. If by an act of God you happen to snipe a guy whilst he is speeding away in Warthog, which causes him to go out of control, hit a pile of explosive barrels, fly into the air and kill someone in a banshee... might just get you the armour.

According to the 2008 Game Informer, you will be able to unlock Recon when you complete all Vidmaster Challenge achievements (not possible until the Mythic Map Pack comes out early 2009)
No, not possible until ODST comes out. Its been confiemed I just dont remember when so I dont have the link. By the way, put your signature with four of these ~. [[User talk:Papayaking|Papayaking]] 16:07, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
== recon real word? ==
Is "recon" a real word, because it comes up in my spell check. I hear it a lot, too, so it must be, right? [[User:Bioniclepluslotr|<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt;">'''Bioniclepluslotr'''</span>]] 18:58, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
:Its short for "[[Wikipedia:Reconnaissance|Reconnaissance]]," or "Reconnoitre", though the previous word is used more. --'''CoH|<font color=purple>Councillor</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=blue>Specops306</font>]]''' - '''''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Kora</font>]] UserWiki:Specops306|<font color=purple>'Morhek</font>]]''''' 22:05, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

==Aquire Recon revisement==
i think this article, as well as the vidmaster articles should be edited so that they clearly states that you won't earn Recon just for doing the vidmaster challenges, as stated in the Bungie Weekly update on the 14th of november 2008.<sup>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=16208]</sup>[[User:Warhead xTEAMx|Warhead xTEAMx]] 01:09, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
== Recon Armor used by ODSTs ==
In some of the concept art for [[Halo 3: ODST]], there are two illustrations of ODSTs wearing shoulder pads with a striking resemblance to the Recon shoulder pad. It's still unknown if this concept will appear in the final version of the game although the appearance is somewhat worth noting of.

== Using Recon Offline ==
Hello everybody,
I recently won Recon in the Bungie vs. World Playlist, and I just found something out about the Recon Armor. It seems that it cannot be used in offline game play. Can anybody confirm? I want to know if this is something only I am experiencing or if it is supposed to be that way.

:Armor is both online and offline, its on your halo memory I think, and any armor I get online is offline too. So try checking your armor again, and if that doesn't work go on LIVE, put the armor on, sign out of LIVE and remove it. Also theres sometimes a glitch that sets your armor to mark VI temporarily during game play. If none of the above things work and no one here can help you, contact bungie.[[User talk:Papayaking|Papayaking]] 16:13, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
::Well, the only thing is that it wasn't a download, something was tagged on the server. That's why I don't know if it will work online. Do you have it and does it work for you? Also, I am talking about booting up offline, not starting online then going offline. [[Special:Contributions/98.203.27.158|98.203.27.158]] 20:30, 19 July 2009 (UTC) LNA Big D
:::I dont have recon, and I was talking about generally, like saying reset your computer, problems like yours...sorry but I dont know, you will have to contact someone here who does, or ask bungie. I was just saying for some basic problem.[[User talk:Papayaking|Papayaking]] 21:34, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
::::I asked on the Bungie Boards, I found out that Recon is not available offline. Would anybody like to add that, would that be important enough to add?

:::::Where'd you hear it? If you add it, cite the source using a REF tag -- I can tell you how, if you wish.
:::::Also, I'm fairly certain that armor data is stored ''both'' with your Service Record ''and'' your hard drive. That's why other armor permutations work offline. I am thus also certain that this means Recon is usable offline.
:::::Also, I took the liberty of indenting the comments here to make it easier to tell what paragraph is part of what comment. <span style="background:#AADDAA;display:inline-block;height:16px;padding-right:4px;line-height:1em;position:relative;top:-3px;-moz-border-radius:0 50% 50%"><b>File:DavidJCobb_Emblem.svg|16px]] [[User:DavidJCobb|<span style="color:#000;position:relative;top:.15em">DavidJCobb&nbsp;</span>]]</b></span> 20:02, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::: Well, armor data is stored offline, but Recon isn't unlocked via achievements for Halo 3. It is activated server side by Bungie, so if you don't have an internet connection, your armor won't show up (no connection to the Bungie Server). I necessarily have a reliable source, but I do have the forum post where I asked, the link is http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=34917835 Also, thanks for the indexing :) [[Special:Contributions/98.203.27.158|98.203.27.158]] 21:46, 27 July 2009 (UTC) LNA Big D
::::::: Yes, the armor is ''received'' from the server, but I would think that once it's received, its status (as unlocked) is stored on both client and server, right? Don't see why that wouldn't be the case, anyway, unless Bungie was super-paranoid about people modding their saves to have Recon -- and even then, Bungie's the one who gives it out, so they have a list of who's supposed to have it, making it easy to ban such mods... <span style="background:#AADDAA;display:inline-block;height:16px;padding-right:4px;line-height:1em;position:relative;top:-3px;-moz-border-radius:0 50% 50%"><b>File:DavidJCobb_Emblem.svg|16px]] [[User:DavidJCobb|<span style="color:#000;position:relative;top:.15em">DavidJCobb&nbsp;</span>]]</b></span> 02:10, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
== Clean up. ==
Shouldn't we erase all of this out of date stuff? Some of its been around for years and just sounds kind of stupid with all the new info. We all know its unlockable now, the helmet included. And the fire bomb grenade thing? Come on...[[User talk:Papayaking|Papayaking]] 16:20, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
== Finished ==
Alright, I am completely exosted from doing the vidmaster challenges. Was it worth it? No... I wear it online and what do I get? Players complaining about how they don't have it and want it. Then again, I was like this before. People who have recon are awesome, but people who wear it online are complete assholes. I would wear some of my other armor, but this variant is so cool!--[[Special:Contributions/174.3.9.125|174.3.9.125]] 19:59, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

==Recon myths and lies on the Internet==
It came to my attention while browsing the Internet and Youtube that there were many adds and videos about a "secret hack to get Recon" or "a secret skull that unlock Recon" or even "Buy Recon armor". Of course, all of this is BS. Should we mention these snake-oil videos and adds in the article? I was just wondering.
:Better not to add fuel to the flames. Technically, a hack would work - the Recon permutation is just a file on the disk that is normally unavailable to normal players. hacking would access that file - it would also earn a swift and well-deserved crushing by the almighty banhammer. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 09:47, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
== Requirements in Reach? ==
I know you have to preorder the game, but do you have to play it on the release date, or just preorder it? If you do have to play it on the release date, that needs to be added in the trivia section, or, just have a whole new section about it in Reach. [[User talk:623buc|623buc]] 18:22, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
: I'm pretty sure you just pre-order the game, then within a certain amunt of time after the release date (probably a year) you have to redeem the code you are given, just like with the Sgt. Johnson Firefight skin.

==Recon Pre-order was a LIE!!!!==
You can get Recon Helmet in the final game, Even without pre-ordering it, the Pre-order bonus was just a Hul(3), not the helmet, no, people will be able to have the Recon Helmet in Halo: Reach, I believe the Recon Helmet wo/Hul is 300,000 Credits, with the first hul being Unknown. [[User talk:John Yautja|John Yautja]] 04:49, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone know when, or how you get it the recon helmet without the pre-order attachment? Because I have seen many videos showing just plain recon helm in the armory. [[User talk:Tentacletornado|Tentacletornado]] 18:12, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

== Recon chest piece not in Reach? ==
Isn't Tactical Recon in its own right the Recon chest piece? If it is then shouldn't it be mentioned somewhere?--[[User talk:Theraptor92|Theraptor92]] 13:46, 22 May 2012 (EDT)
:Actually, it's called the "Tactical'''<u>/</u>'''Recon" chest piece, which means it's a variant of the "Tactical" series of the armor, and not Recon. —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] [[File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14px]]<sub>([[User talk:Spartan331|COM]] • [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|Mission Log]] • [[UserProfile:Spartan331|Profile]])</sub>
:I always thought it was wierd we organized them like that, the first word is usually just something that describes what the general use of that piece is, like "UA" is hardened and armoured pieces. "UA" wouldn't be something like Recon, CQB, etc, but more like (for weapons) the terms, assault rifle, SMG, pistol, etc. For example, the Beretta PX4 is a pistol version of the Beretta CX4 carbine. But if they were armour, they should go together as they're part of the same family. [[User talk:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 01:21, 24 May 2012 (EDT)
I get what Spartan 331 is saying but is it not possible that Tactical/Recon is in its own right a Recon chest piece? Sorry about this reply being months after that but sometimes things like this can be confusing. --[[User talk:Theraptor92|Theraptor92]] 20:14, 27 September 2012 (EDT)
==Gen 3==
Is there a Gen 3 form of the RECON armor or did they only make the Upgraded Gen 1 and 2 that was compatible with Gen 3. And similarary did they ever update the RECON into Mk vii? Or did they stop at Mk vi. [[User:Spartan Chin|Spartan Chin]] ([[User talk:Spartan Chin|talk]]) 18:07, December 10, 2024 (EST)
not sure if this is how you update, but the recon armor was upgraded to fit the GEN3 platform. as well as the Trailblazer MJOLNIR armor was a successor to the recon armor not by Fumctionality, but also by appearance.
