-The '''Vidmaster Challenges''' are a series of nine [[achievement]]s available for ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', and ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''. There are four Vidmaster Challenges in ''Halo 3'', three in ''Halo 3: ODST'' and two in ''Halo: Spartan Assault''. Three of the Vidmaster Challenges on ''Halo 3'' do not reward the player with [[gamerpoint]]s, but prior to March 31, 2012 if all Vidmaster Challenges were completed, then the player would be rewarded with [[Recon armor]] for Multiplayer use. The Vidmaster Challenges for ''Halo 3'' did not ship with the original game, but became unlockable with the [[Title Update 2]]. The achievements are widely considered very difficult aside from Lightswitch, Brainpan and Seven on Seventh. Thus, Recon armor remained difficult to acquire. On March 31, 2012 all record-keeping was transferred from Bungie.net to [[Halo Waypoint]]. As Halo Waypoint did not have the capability to unlock Recon, the armor was therefore unlocked by default for all [[Xbox LIVE]] profiles. The Vidmaster Challenges therefore no longer serve any purpose beyond the achievements themselves.

+The original seven challenges, released for ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'', initially served as the requirements for unlocking the [[Recon armor]] for use in ''Halo 3'' [[multiplayer]]. After unlocking the achievements, players could log on to [[Bungie.net]] and request their armor through the "Road to Recon!" Although three of the ''Halo 3'' Vidmaster achievements do not reward the player with [[gamerpoint]]s, their use in unlocking Recon served as motivation for players to complete them.
+The Vidmaster Challenges for ''Halo 3'' did not ship with the original game, but became unlockable with [[Title Update 2]]; those in ''ODST'' were available at launch. With the exception of Lightswitch, Brainpan and Seven on Seventh, the achievements are widely considered very difficult to unlock. Thus, Recon armor remained difficult to acquire. However, on March 31, 2012 all record-keeping was transferred from Bungie.net to [[Halo Waypoint]]. As Halo Waypoint did not have the capability to unlock Recon, the armor was therefore unlocked by default for all [[Xbox Live]] profiles. The original Vidmaster Challenges therefore no longer serve any purpose beyond the achievements themselves.
+Two achievements in ''Halo: Spartan Assault'' are also called Vidmaster Challenges. To date, these achievements have not been incorporated into any larger scheme.

-Prior to March 31, 2012, aside from Bungie's approval, the only way to unlock the [[Mark VI MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/R variant|Recon Armor Permutation]] was to complete all [[List of "seven" references in Halo|7]] of the Vidmaster Challenges from ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST''. Once a player has completed all of the Vidmaster Challenges, they would have the ability to unlock it by going to their ''Halo 3'' Service Record on [[Bungie.net]], logging into their Windows Live ID and clicking "unlock my recon."
