I thought I posted this before but I dont see it anywhere. but I am trying to find out info about the recon challenge bungie is having this weekend at PAX. Like what days and times they are doing it. What you have to do to do it or if anything other than just being there. Please let me know. If someone replied to a previous thread like this of mine please e-mail me since I can not find it. Thanks. E-mail is mrkbnt@yahoo.com. Thanks.

    all we know is it will be at the bungie/rooster teeth booth. the last Bungie update said they have three teams of 2 who you can play against, but no schedule on when this will be. Apparently there will be a new map on display, Assembly, but it's not real clear if the recon challanges will be on that map or something else...

    The Recon challenge is you and another person against Luke and Shiska, and if you can beat them, both of you get Recon. I have a craftier way of getting Reconz (at least I think it is :D), since I know my skill in First Person Shooters is non existant.

    A couple of my friends beileve they can actually beat Luke and Shiska, but they wouldn't be a challenge if it had Carebears in it.

    I was driving some out-of-towner friends around, and I kept complaining about being blinded. They responded with "You see, where we come from, people tend to wear Sunglasses." I retorted with a simple "You people tend to have sun."

    They will challenge for two 1 hour blocks on fri. and two 1 hour blocks on sat. For a total of 4 hours of challenge. Anyone wanna guess as to how long the RC lines will be?

    Thanks. I geuss what I am trying to find out is if there is a specific time they are doing it because I am going out of town friday night sometime and dont get back until late sunday early monday. and as far as I know the expo starts at 2 on friday so I would probably only have like 4 hours to be there maybe and hope that they have the change in that time frame for it. But then there is also the question of if there is just going to be a hugh line for it and who ever is first gets the chance or if you can sign up ahead of time. Reallys sucks I probably wont be able to do it especially when it is in seattle where I live and I am a 50 in mlg, slayer, doubbles, lone wolves and almost swat so I am sure I can beat them.

    No, its just a match on their new map, I beileve. They (us) are at a dissadvantage because the Developers already know where all the weapons are and they (us) don't. It wouldn't be logical to play on a map we have all played, because we would all know where the weapons are.

    Therefore, Bungie, being the little devils that they are, will play on the new map.

    Game developers are bad at games.

    I know of a couple exceptions to this rule, but they ain't the two guys Bungie is sending.

    The contest should be renamed "Free Recon for anyone that has ever played Halo 3 more than once".

    I've played with all of the guys they are sending and I think you might be mistaken.

    You should let everyone here know what time you plan to head to that booth. I think we should all come watch your match. :lol:

    Yeah that is the problem. What does entering mean? Signing up ahead of time or just showing up? I dont see anything on bungie.net anywhere about it other than that it is this weekend.
