It's even more special. The visor improves the player's vision by getting rid of the jaggies and upping the resolution while making the player run 3.5% faster.Brannon said:Anyway, what the hell is this Recon people keep talking about? Is it armor or a rank or something? Is it really that special?
It is an armor permutation. Here's a pic of it.Brannon said:Anyway, what the hell is this Recon people keep talking about? Is it armor or a rank or something?
Yes and no. It's not unlockable in the game. The only way to get it is for Bungie to give it to you. They do this for a small handful of folks, for all sorts of reasons. It's neat, but it's just armor.Is it really that special?
What about browsing and posting on GAF and accomplishing nothing?EazyB said:I'll be sitting in the office accomplishing nothing as usual. Such a waste of time when I could be playing Halo 3 and accomplishing nothing.

We just played him in One Bomb. Not very good...
.Ronabo said:Ok I have a few questions.
First off I just got this game and recently started playing it online.
A week or so ago Grif Ball was playable but now isn't. How can I have the option of playing it again? Also what are the cool variants that other people have made, and how do you get them?
Bungie puts up a special playlist up each weekend and Grifball pops up pretty frequently but it's only available in MM during those specific times. For cool map/gametype variants you can visit ForgeHub and you'll be able to play those downloaded items in custom games. You can also keep an eye on Bungie's Favorites which can be accessed in the start menu in Halo 3.
Special armors are just for looks and bragging rights. No bonuses, correct?
The only bonus they receive is an inflated ego (see Ram for example)
I have both map packs, so yeah me.
Thanks for the help in advance. Sorry for the newbie questions.
Oh my gamertag is Ronabo also. If anyone cares.
Post you info in this thread an you may be able to join up with other GAFers if you want.

Hootie said:Wait...is there a reward for getting the 7 billionth campaign kill or is it just to get it to that number by Bungie day?
Metroidvania said:As far as we know, just the second.
Agree. I've posted frequently about how the playlist needs updated. No, I'm not talking about BTB Heavies. That's a minor update. I'm talking about having objectives higher than slayer, changing up equipment perhaps (a trip mine or grav lift in Valhalla -- spice it up!), or adding a transport vehicle to Covenant games, which should mostly be CTF or Bomb, not Slayer. A Prowler, Bungie. Why not? Turret too weak? I don't think it is. Plus it's a great battering ram against ground people. Not to mention it can flip over Ghosts with ease in defense. I only wonder -- why introduce this improved vehicle (over the Spectre) and not include it in the multiplayer at all? :|*VIP and Territories just need to go. I only ever play those as a result of something being vetoed, and no one is ever happy about it.
Agree. It's a much better objective based map. Slayer is okay on it, but the slayer games on it appear to heavily outweigh the objectives. That's not how it should be.*Last Resort needs CTF and Assault love. Why on earth is this always Slayer?
I like Covenant better for objectives.*I like Covies for Slayer, but it has no business in CTF or Assault. Those need Warthogs, or at least Prowlers. And toss in some Choppers to boot.
I liked it better named "Multi-Bomb" but it's called Assault now. It, also, needs a higher weight.*Where is multi-bomb Assault?
Oh God yes. For 6 players per, it's ok, but for 8v8 and BR starts - no freaking way.*Standoff is far to small for a BTB map. I never, ever have a good time on it. And I love the map.
This.Striker said:I like Covenant better for objectives.
CTF Covenant should be, for a map like Valhalla, for example:
1 Wraith
1 Banshee
1 Prowler
1 Chopper
Then place one Ghost where the Mongoose normally is.
Covies just needs a pair of choppers then it would be fine.GhaleonEB said:This.
Ghosts galore and a couple of Wraiths isn't Covies. Banshees, Prowlers, Choppers and a Wraith with a Ghost cruising around is Covies. It would rock.
EazyB said:Covies just needs a pair of choppers then it would be fine.the prowler is pretty useless
The only thing lamer than covies as it stands right now is Snowbound/Epitaph...
EazyB said:Alright so running through harvesting section of Crow's Nest with various skulls turned on, I remembered the bungie update that contained various random facts. The update said that one people had beat all the levels on Legendary with all the skulls on. So I tried it with all skulls on easy and made it through alright. But when I bumped it up to Legendary it became just impossible. I want to call BS on that. There's just no fuckin way. I refuse to even go into details as to why it would be impossible because if you just boot up Halo 3 right now and try it you shall quickly see why.
DancingJesus said:I hate to be a downer but it's not looking good Eazy.![]()
We need 25 million a day at this point now. I'm going to keep trying and I'll harvest Crows Nest (B) especially hard in the coming days.
Maybe having the Bungie day thread up will help...

Do it!Blueblur1 said:I see that a lot of you are into this 7 billion kills thing. I frankly am not. I rather play some matchmaking... Hmm, I should go take screen shots of yesterday's matches@
I'm mixing it up. I've found a quick romp through Crow's Nest on easy - mostly with a shotgun and hammer - is fairly therapeutic after dealing with randoms.Blueblur1 said:I see that a lot of you are into this 7 billion kills thing.

Put my Halo 3 disc in last night, complete system lockdown. Wouldn't even eject it, had to unplug my 360 and plug it back in. It's safe to say my disc is dead.
