14 DAY TRIAL // Yes, dear Halo 3 fans, according to an Evil Avatar post today, the Bungie Weekly Update mentions two exclusive Halo 3 Recon Armor winners, and they didn't even ask for one. Well, they didn't ask for one in particular anyway. Bungie's official word on this can be found below. The company however mentions that gamers shouldn't bother asking for an armor. Only Bungie decides who gets one and who doesn't, based on in-game performance.
And apparently, being funny also counts as the two Recon Armor winners died in the two most ridiculous ways possible, not to mention improbable. Here's Bungie's official post:
"Oh, folks are begging us for the Recon Armor perm, and we're giving it out to a couple of community members today as a special treat:
ZB Shogun for suffering the most humiliating traffic accident ever: Rubber Bullet
and...
Skyllus vBi for shooting himself in the head with his own Sniper Rifle: Oh teh Noes
Both lucky players will now find that Recon is a useable armor perm next time they log into Halo 3 and for the rest of you don't bother asking us for it. We'll give it out based on good deeds and valuable community service and occasionally because they make us laugh, as seen above. There will be plenty of occasions and reasons to get it. PM-ing and emailing us will not make any difference. But play nice and be a good sport and who knows?"
Now, while the traffic cone thing can, let's say, occur once in 1000 games, shooting yourself IN THE HEAD in such a manner is almost impossible and unthinkable. If you've bothered to watch the second video that Bungie was talking about, you will have noticed that the bullet trajectory is quite complex, leaving aside the enormous distance it had to travel to come back in exactly the same point it started its journey. Amazing...
