FAQ
Spoiler!
Q: How do I get the Recon armor?
A: Complete each and every Vidmaster found in Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST, then visit your profile page on Bungie.net and flip the switch yourself. There are 7 total. OLD: Currently there are only two ways (other than film modding) to get the Recon armor. The first is to work for bungie (in which case you would automatically get it and most likely not be reading this). The second way is to get very lucky and have bungie deem something of yours "recon worthy", which is usually dying in a very unusual way or making an extremely good forge map, or something of the sort. It is VERY unlikey that you will obtain the Recon armor the 2nd way.
Q: I did what it said to get the armor, but for some reason it didn't unlock. Why didn't it work?
A: Unfortunately armor unlocking can be glitchy sometimes. So the only thing that I can suggest is make sure you are doing it correctly and keep trying.
Enjoy!! ^_^
