Don't care, gonna stay the Hell away from this one.
If all Recon amounts to is a bunch of whiny pre- and post-pubescent children clamoring over each other for it like dogs to a sausage link, then so be it. I'll earn mine through achievements, and never even touch it.
It's not even that good-looking. It's the fact that it's rare that has people screaming for it, and to be perfectly honest, it's quite embarrassing how people will act at the chance to get it. Makes me sort of embarrassed to be a Halo fan, if the majority of the fanbase will run up the walls at the briefest mention of getting what is honestly the worst-looking armor of the set.
Anyone with sore toes after that one - please, stow it. If you want to go balls-postal for an in-game permutation, don't let me stop you. I just find the whole thing foolish.
