Is this the same for the flaming hayabasu helmet?

To get Recon:

Do something that makes a big enough impression on Bungie and/or the Halo Community to make us think “Hey, this guy deserves Recon.” At that point Bungie will simply decide to award it, based on opinion and emotional feeling – NOT on any specific achievable criteria. What doesn’t get you Recon:

Asking for it, no matter how nicely (Or how rudely) you ask. No Live messages, no emails, no phone calls, no asking. Do NOT contact Bungie directly to ask for Recon under any circumstances. Matching with a Bungie employee and then killing them. Remember, if you see a flaming head in a game – the best thing to do is simply sacrifice yourself to them. Getting a film clip, screenshot, game or map variant into Bungie Favorites or Matchmaking.***
Reaching General or level 50 in any playlist. Annoying the hell out of someone with Recon by chasing them around saying “Hey, wait! Hey, wait! Hey, wait!” instead of playing the game. This is not Zelda, and you are not Navi. What gets you BANNED from Recon:

Being caught using any of the standard methods of cheating. Getting a voice ban in matchmaking. Getting an upload ban for hosting inappropriate content in your file share. Being caught in your filthy lies like the shell of a human being you (hypothetically) are.
