I actually change my permutation depending on the gametype.
Team Swat, I use an elite, Flat helmet, Usually protects you from headshots coming from behind.
Any Socials or Customs I use My katana with Full Mk 6
And that's basically it.
so yeah. Elites are cool but from the side their head is VERY vulnerable.
Anyway, back on topic, Has it been OFFICIALLY Confirmed that Recon is rewarded for Completing Halo 3: Recon?
