Ever since bungie day ended (5 days ago) people have been tending to show off that they got recon way too much. I could care less if I didn't get it because bungie day was like a lottery, you really needed some luck to see bungie employees and with my luck I saw none. After I saw this video of this guy winning recon that day though, I thought to myself, why are people bragging about getting recon? I'm not saying that the employees were bad but I'm pretty sure I could've won recon just as easily. I'm annoyed that people are getting so crazy over a helmet that everyone is going to get when ODST comes out. I couldn't go through a map today without seeing an action shot that had recon in it and some people even have it in their signature now. I respect the people who don't go around flashing it like chains in rap vids. I'd wear it if I won, but I wouldn't rub it in everyones face and think that I'm better than them because of it. I see a loooot of people doing that, saying that beating bungie employees makes them professionals at the game. So please people stop bragging, we get it, you won, woohoo....
People are just happy that they finally got it after so long, so chill out. I know I probably would a little, and you would too.
I personally think that having recon is no longer that special anymore. Last night, when I was playing clue with some people, 5 people in the party at once had recon. Also, yesterday, there was someone with recon in every single custom game that I joined.
when it comes to this subject I see it as a really huge nerd finally getting grasp of that limited edition set of action figures of Star Trek or something. Thus, I don't want to be part of that craze. I'd rather sit there with my neat little bug helmet and katana.
Im not mad haha. I'm just saying it's not too big of a deal, I'd be happy too but I'd rather not brag about something that everyone else would get in the near future. AZN FTW was telling me about this happening on bungie day. You're right, recon isn't that special anymore =/
Have you seen the last three Vidmasters? just sayin. Anyway, I hate recon. I hate people who brag about owning Bungie and getting it. It's really ugly, and all these kids are gloating about winning R3c0nzzz, and I don't care. The videos and pictures especially. Gawd. In all due respect, I don't hate the colored members here that WORKED to get recon. I hate the brats that got it on Bungie Day, and think they're god.
Yes, this thread is really unnecessary. I have noticed that but I don't let it bother me. I've grown from that a long time ago.
Ok for the people being assholes, I have one thing to say. **** recon armor. I'm not jealous of the people who got it. I'm not trying to be a buzzkill but the reality is that people shouldn't brag about something that took luck. It's like bragging about winning the lottery, maybe you deserved it, maybe you didn't. But chances are, if you rub it in people's faces than you really didn't deserve it. But think about it, the first people who had recon were never heard of because recon was rare and bungie would only give it to people who really deserved it. Now that it's become so much easier to obtain, more and more people are going to ruin how recon armor was seen. Like Dow said, it's not really special anymore.
Ehh I don't have a problem with them having Recon either. And a little showing off is okay. But when thye think their the best, it just gets annoying. Sure getting the armor before ODST is cool. But were all going to have it. Juts play the game have and pwn soem noobs. =D
wow since bungie day ive seen like 3 people with recon.. thats like 3 in 6 days! ya and odst will defeat the purpose of recon so every1 will hav it and it wont b special nemore.
my only complaint is that people wont customize it and make it their own. My friends all have it and they look like triplets cause they wanna show it off. Shad0w even admits he hates the shoulders... yet hes wearing them anyway because of some unknown reason. Like the recon helmet? add it to your customized armor... you dont need to wear the whole suit just cause.
If I even got recon i wouldnt wear it, I only played the playlist for all the maps. I'm good with my security katana combo
But seriously, why are you getting so offended? And also, recon is going to be overated in a few days anyway, so who cares.
I'm just going to work on trying to get recon from the vidmasters first. I'll never get it any other way.
I played Bungie vs. The World for the fun of it. It was fun playing with my friends and other people. I couldn't care less about getting Recon because people who buy ODST will get it eventually. I really wanted to play just to actually meet some Bungie employees. I think that is a much better gift than Recon. It's stupid how people like to gloat about a digital piece of armor such as Recon. Sure, it's still pretty hard to get at the moment, and usually someone had to do something amazing to get it, but at the end of the day it's still digital armor.
I to have had enough of people bragging about recon. Whatevar, ill get it with ODST anyways who cares? Personally it looks like crap. The helmet is almost as bad as bug eye or mark 5. The body is meh and there is much better stuff i would rather wear. The shoulders are alright but i would only where one if i did get recon. I fidn it funny that people get so hyped up over something that is virtual. Yes some virtual things are important but this is just an amour permutation that is blown out of proportion. Anyways with Bungie pretty much giving so many away it is not as prestige as it used to be either. And it is a luck of the draw, which stupid noobs that brag all day and night win.
its all just bungie's plan to get people to do stupid things for armour that does nothing. and personnally, i only like the recon chest piece.
