Last year on July 7, Bungie released a free downloadable map called Cold Storage, a remake of the Halo 2 map Chillout. With ODST ready to drop in late September, Bungie is doing their best to keep everyone playing Halo 3. Until the release of ODST, they will be holding more frequent contests and chances to earn the highly-coveted Recon armour.
This year on July 7, a special 7-on-7 playlist will be played by dozens of Bungie employees. If you manage to beat them, you will be rewarded with the Recon armour. But even if you aren’t one of those hardcore players who watch all the MLG events via live stream and mathematically calculate the BR spread in your spare time, Bungie will be awarding Recon armour for funny or silly antics. In addition to these methods and the usual ways to acquire the armour, there will also be hidden parameters that can be achieved!
So be sure to slap on your Spartan suit come July 7th and take part in the Bungie Day festivities because you never know who you might run into. Recon armour will soon be available to all who complete the Vidmaster Achievements in Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST, so give it a shot and try to get it while it’s still rare!
Oh, and if you see kM NiGhTMaRE on the other team you should just drop out of the lobby and save yourself 7 minutes.
