Omega Squad Report 3: Busting (Fallout 3) caps in the new year!

*sigh* Bored..... bored. Oh, by the rings, I don't think I've ever been this bored in my entire life. ....

Wait, huh, what? Oh, right. Again, your favorite Sangheili Grundo is reporting, and this is the Omega Squad! Everyone cheer!

....

I hate you all.



Anyway, a very well-known fact of Halo 3 has just been brought to light, though you might not know this. Remember how every single player would kill each other for a Recon permutation. No, not a Recon permutation, THE Recon permutation. Recon has become that popular, folks. Anyway, the reasoning behind this is that Recon is finally up for grabs. How? Well, most of you are also probably familiar with the infamous Vidmaster achievements, which were not only completely useless because most didn't give Gamerpoints as a result, but they were also extremely difficult to achieve since some were extremely specific. Well, what happens if you DO complete these tasks, you might ask? Yes, if you complete all seven of the Vidmaster achievements, the famous Recon armor will be yours.

Now, this has caused one of two reactions. First off, it has been one of excitment. Since its introduction and further widespread by Episode 8 of DigitalPh33r's hit Machinima Deus Ex Machina, several Machinimators have been dying to use this armor permutation for their Machinimas. Others prefer it as one of the best helmets out there and wished to use it in Matchmaking.

However, others have rose in in violent riots over the armor permutation. Why, you may ask? Well, the fact that the Vidmaster achievements were not released altogether before this information was disclosed resulted in a cascade of riots to occur throughout XBL, many of which were because of the inability to get Recon despite finishing the Vidmaster achievements already released. While many waited patiently, yet anxiously for the remainder of the Vidmaster achievements to make themselves known among the players of Halo 3, others angrily cried out to Bungie, exclaiming how 'unfair' this was.

Still, these fail to register as a major threat to Bungie or XBL in general, as it only guarantees more gleeful smiles of happiness in the months to come, though complaints have come in of impatient people asking to release all of the Vidmaster achievements now.

It's been a slow week, so that's all we have time for. G'day, and no, I am not Australian.
