ODST armor

is it just me, or does this look like the ODST's combat armor?SpecOps ODST 21:39, 10 July 2007 (UTC) Do you need Xbox LIVE to get the recon armor in Reach? Mrhalohunter24 16:40, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

==

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.

Get a higher score in the Metagame?

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?

For example, here is what one of my summaries says; Ranger Earned over 50,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the sixth mission. The other, I guess you could say normals ones are Guerilla Earned over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the first mission. 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.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. --File:Final Goji.jpg Lordofmonsterisland "Roar to me" 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. --Ghost 16:54, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

WOW. you just went ahead and probably just thought it was CQB, its a freaking SKETCH smarty!SPARTAN-III leader 03:04, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

blind fools

New rule: look at the picture and I mean LOOK before you comment about it. I couldn't of but it better myself ghost, thank you. In response to the ODST comment, the ODST helmet is simply a marine helmet with a large, wide blue visor attached.

Now does that look like a marine helmet with a large blue visor? Does it? I'll give you some time to ponder that >.>

Forgive me for being snitty but this seems to be a general thing that is happening all over halopedia atm. People posting things about images without looking at it or researching it. As a result we have a hash of poorly made articles based purely on what the picture is similar to it when it should be about the difference. Ajax 013 July the 12th

In this thread: [1], someone compares the armor seen in the Gamevideos link above to ODST armor. Stinkles (Frankie) responds "Ding Ding!" So, what should this be called for now? I think we need to move this to "ODST" Mjolnir Armor or something like that. -theblackthrone _{(atthecenter) (ofultimatechaos)} 21:22, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

hey maybe this armor is a mix of them all? It looks like a CQB helmet, SPI chest, and some other shoulder plates in the second photo.

Cobra?

I think the this permutation is called "Cobra". I know this isn't a very good source, but here it is: [2] It's on HBO so it could be reliable.

I think someone should probably double-check if this really is only available to Bungie employees. It's not cited, nor is it mentioned in the article if this has been announced anywhere.1stSgtFile:Marine Corp 1stSgt.jpgsimon rjh 18:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

What about the anti-aircraft gun on The Storm? We can't fire that gun...is there a trigger to it? --Atlas503 06:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

my thoughts is that it has something to either do with a grav hammer or energy sword, or the level halo, mainly because you have no choice in activating halo and its all done thru cut scene, just a thought... Ancientanubis 07:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Maybe you have to beat the 7th level of Halo 3 on each difficulty....by 7:07 P.M., with exactly 7 skulls turned on...and you have to be wearing 7 layers of clothing? ok, that last part was for poops and giggles, but I'm serious about everything before that. Or, maybe we just aren't meant to get the armor. Kap2310 19:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

well it said alot about triggers, and not be able to use them, maybe it has something to do with beating the game with nothing but melee and not fireing a single shot, but that sounds nearly impossible, maybe in multiplayer?

doubtful and close to impossible, i still think it has something to do with either the 'activation of halo' or somethin with when you fight guilty spark or somethin... idk, Ancientanubis 06:10, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Firstly, thanks you to whoever continues to clear the speculation material off the article. It's nice to keep facts on there and right now, no facts support that this armor is not in some way available to players. Doesn't mean that it is reasonable to find or can be found without outside influence, but theres certainly nothing to support that yet. Next off, I wanted to point out Luke Smith's Service Record. My immediate belief was it involved the marines doing something while you drove them around. ATV came to mind, as did the human version of the banshee. I tried having them get the killshot on a Scarab with a rocket launcher, which did not work. I noticed you cannot give marines a spartan laser either... that is until I looked at Lukes service record. He clearly has an ODST on his ATV firing a spartan laser (you will need to zoom in on the picture to see that it is not another player on the back of his ATV). He's also got a bunch of screenshots of a specific ODST trooper with unique colored arm bands. I was unable to find that particular color, but I did find one that would in fact take my laser on the level The Covenant. I had him kill some ghosts as well as two banshee's that were in the air. No luck yet, but keep an open mind. That's a trigger that the player cannot pull. Or it could just be viral and a Bungie employee needs to kill you. Who knows. This article is very helpful in keeping up to date though, when it's cleaned up with just the facts. :) Draxis 20:41, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Controversy? Really? Come on, guys...

It's hardly a controversy in the fact that Bungie made something for themselves and showed it off with some pictures. A "controversy" would be if they explicitly said that you could unlock it in the game but then you couldn't. This stupid "controversy" section looks like some bitter fan's rant about how he can't have it. I'm removing that section because it's unnecessary and whiny. JesseZinVT 16:48, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

That doesnt chage the fact that there IS a controversy whiny as it may be. People are pissed at bungie (lukems in particular)for giving out load of false leads. "Just because they dont understand 'page based timing' and 'dedication' etc. etc." the whinings like that are a controversy and should be marked as such.SargeLIVES 04:16, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

When has it been confirmed to be unlockable? Wheres the link that says its confirmed?JanSpartan117 ^{BLAM! Grunts Rule!} 21:48, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

It was never confirmed to be unlockable. The only people who receive it do so by getting it as a gift or reward from Bungie for doing anything that may please them. --Unknown v2 00:12, 7 February 2008 (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.

Hello? Read the picture description of the Bungie armor!

http://halopedian.com/Image:Bungie_armor_select.jpg

It it says "go for and represent" therefore, it helps distinguish Bungie employee's in combat on Halo 3. Which also means, less chance of people talking smack to them online. The helmet just about says, "I'm from Bungie and have this helmet because I physically worked for it." Think about that while you complain about wanting the helmet...

Bungie armor is totally different from recon.72.67.28.95 02:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

A few things wrong

• I'd like to see sources for the supposed torrent disks with the armor unlocked, I don't believe that, and I already edited it to say that if there were such things, the 360 can detect modified disks and it could not be played over Live.
• I am 99% sure that DigitalPh33r did NOT have the armor before he made the video where he supposedly emailed them. However, Bungie watched that video and did award it to him in time for his next episode.
• There are a few other things that I've already taken care of by editing...
• All in all this article needs more sources

Tehviruss 05:07, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree that it needs more sources. Too much of the article is about what people think will get them recon. THERE IS NO SET CRITERIA. Bungie will give it too you for whatever reason they want. 72.67.28.95 05:14, 13 March 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.

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. 98.203.27.158 15:43, 19 July 2009 (UTC) LNA Big D

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.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. 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.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?

98.203.27.158 23:32, 24 July 2009 (UTC) LNA Big D

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. DavidJCobb  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 :) 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... DavidJCobb  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...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.

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. -- Specops306 ^{Autocrat Qur'a 'Morhek} 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. 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. Que Sera, Sera 18:25, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

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. John Yautja 04:49, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

There is no way to get base Recon unless you don't have XBL or have it disconnected. Those videos are people who modded the game --~Jman98~ 03:29, 13 November 2010 (EST)

I feel like the actual rare edition is the one without Recon. Bioniclepluslotr 13:51, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

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?--Theraptor92 13:46, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

Actually, it's called the "Tactical/Recon" chest piece, which means it's a variant of the "Tactical" series of the armor, and not Recon. —S331 _{(COM • Mission Log • Profile)}

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. Alex T Snow 01:21, 24 May 2012 (EDT)
