The MJOLNIR Recon Variant.

The Recon Armor is a type of United Nations Space Command body armor.

Introduction

The Recon Armor is a variant of the standard Mark VI MJOLNIR powered battle armor. It is an armor permutation in Halo 3 multiplayer. Bungie has confirmed all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.

Characteristics

Helmet Characteristics

The Helmet features largely rounded features with a rise along the top of the head with two black triangles pointing out the front of the head on each side of the rise. It has a thin visor and a area of black alloy beneath it, surrounded by armor. The helmet is largely angular with a pair of what look like breathers on each side of the mouth and a small indent on the forehead.

Shoulder Characteristics

The shoulder pads are a more angular version of the EVA, with a box like shoulder pad and a section jutting out and down the arm. It also features a slanted rectangular strip of metal jutting outwards at a 90 degree angle from the shoulder pad.

Chest Characteristics

The Chest piece is similar to the Mark VI but instead of being made up of smooth plates reflecting the human body it is more angular like the other parts of the armor and reflects it with a few small changes.

Luke Smith has recently posted some cryptic hints as to how to get the armor on the Bungie.net forum:
"The trigger isn't something you can control. It's not your finger that pulls it" [1]
"There's a gun with a trigger, but there's nothing your hand can do to fire it. " [2]


So far these are the only clues as along the path of unlocking the Recon armor, although there are many theories floating around nothing has been officially released yet except for the two above cryptic clues

In the Official Halo 3 Guide, pg.159, Bungie has hinted that once the currnetly known armors are unlocked, more may be available.

Trivia
