Last week I saw a video that suggested a way to acquire the highly coveted Halo 3 recon armor. It was advertised as “sure to work” and involved sending an email to the Bungie Webmaster. The premise was to pretend to be a Bungie employee with a new account. I carefully followed the instructions, and this was the result from How to Get Recon Armor, Attempt #1.


Clearly Bungie has super ninja spies secretly posing as regular staff. I hereby declare Attempt #1 a failure. Attempt #2, coming soon.

Hahaha, way to go angel. Their “Recon spam inbox” must’ve quadrupled after you posted Attempt #1.

Oh I can’t wait to see what you have in store for Attempt #2.
How long are you going to make us wait?

Awesome. Just one more thing that shows Bungie is a cool company.

My favorite part of the original video is the credits.
JACK!
The spelling errors were entertaining also.

I knew that would happen, read the code backwards and tweak the letters a little bit. Sound like something sneaky? It says: I Actually Believe I Am Getting Recon
