I haven’t been fully updated with my Halo info, last I checked, 343i gave recon for free, but people who got vidmasters were angry about it. I heard 343i was giving something to the people who earned recon from the vidmasters, but I don’t know what.
Can someone explain this to me?
After 343i took over, they couldn’t continue the Vidmaster challenge, so they decided to give Recon to every player who hadn’t already got it.
Of course people were angry and demanded some sort of reward for getting their vidmasters, many suggested the Bungie chestplate which made your helmet set of fire, but that never happened (and never will).
If you complete the Vidmasters, you get nothing other than the achievements and gamerscore. Although it hasn’t happened for a few months, Recon is meant to be unlocked for all players in monthly waves.
