How Not to Get Recon, Revisited, by Hieronymus J Shishka Esq.
I see I have your attention. Good! This is the first stop on the road to glory. However, it seems I need to clarify exactly what the situation is. I’ve received a lot of panicked messages from people who think I’m going to ban them from Recon because they asked for it a month ago, which is not the case. Let’s be clear; the people that get themselves on the list are the scum and villains that wretched hives are built to contain. Pestering me about Recon merely annoys me.
To be true, we’ve never been very clear on how to get Recon, or how not to get it. I’m going to resolve that issue right now.
To get Recon:
Do something that makes a big enough impression on Bungie and/or the Halo Community to make us think “Hey, this guy deserves Recon.” At that point Bungie will simply decide to award it, based on opinion and emotional feeling – NOT on any specific achievable criteria.
What doesn’t get you Recon:
Asking for it, no matter how nicely (Or how rudely) you ask. No Live messages, no emails, no phone calls, no asking. Do NOT contact Bungie directly to ask for Recon under any circumstances.
Matching with a Bungie employee and then killing them. Remember, if you see a flaming head in a game – the best thing to do is simply sacrifice yourself to them.
Getting a film clip, screenshot, game or map variant into Bungie Favorites or Matchmaking.***
Reaching General or level 50 in any playlist.
Annoying the hell out of someone with Recon by chasing them around saying “Hey, wait! Hey, wait! Hey, wait!” instead of playing the game. This is not Zelda, and you are not Navi.
What gets you BANNED from Recon:
Being caught using any of the standard methods of cheating.
Getting a voice ban in matchmaking.
Getting an upload ban for hosting inappropriate content in your file share.
Being caught in your filthy lies like the shell of a human being you (hypothetically) are.
*** It might, sure, but it’s certainly not a guarantee and likely won’t – so don’t make stuff for favorites if you just want Recon.
And since we’ve been asked directly: No, getting a temporary QOS ban because you hosted some pretty laggy games with people on another continent isn’t going to get you banned from Recon. A short history of a few laggy games gives you the benefit of the doubt.
And I say this with all the vim, venom and vinegar I can muster when I point out that we can give you Recon, and we can also take it away. Play nice out there. Don’t sell it. Don’t blackmail people with it. Don’t do anything other than use it yourself. Okay?
