Do you think Bungie giving recon away a Mistake?

I got on today, and some guys had recon and wouldn't quit bragging about it.
Then i told them to STFU, and after we won our game and they lost, they started sending me messages and harassing me saying I was jealous because I don't have recon. I think it was a mistake giving recon away. What do you think?

I think it was a mistake giving recon to ass holes like that. But now that it is available for everybody, they have nothing to brag about.

It was a good idea, since they can use it as an (albiet minor) incentive to sell games. It's also a responsible move, given the protracted period of account hijacks we saw last year.

Yeah, go and brag about your armor that anyone with ODST can get.

Sounds exactly like the whole Hayabusa thing. Which, of course, everyone predicted. Don't mind them. Just take solace in the fact that they are complete morons.

I've got all of the achievements you can get by yourself towards it so I just need to find some others to do the others.

It's just one more thing that people add to the list of reasons to get ODST when they are trying to defend the price tag. So on Bungie's side, yes, it was a good idea. From my point of view, it's fucking stupid.

personally i like the recon armor. but once i get it im not goin to brag to everybody about how i have it and they dont because there is no reason to. lots of people are going to have it and i may not even wear it for awhile because some ppl will be like " o wow you have recon, you are gay" so i think thats its not only the ppl that brag about it it is also the ppl who say that anyone that has it and wearing it is gay that make it unenjoyable and make it seem pointless because either way you get harrased

I got an extermination on a team of people wearing recon yesterday in the Prepare to Drop playlist. The entire match was pretty much me raping the other team with dual magnums (two shots to the head kills in the playlist gametypes). I was wearing recon too though... except they were bragging heavily about it. So after the match, I got a bunch of hate mail because I completely raped them... They said they should of won because they all had recon armor...

Yeah... some people are just stupid. Although it is fun bragging to friends in the customs lobby, because they're all jealous that I got it before they did. :D

I feel like getting to the 4th set on heroic is a very difficult vidmaster.. Its atleast worthy of letting you get recon. I'm gonna attempt it today cause me and my buds got the Deja Vu yesterday after like 3 hours. So this is my last achievement til i get recon.

And bungie isn't giving it away, like I said. It does take some tough work. virtual work.

It wasn't tough. At all. It was just 2 hours of boring Firefight.
