{{Quote|Let’s dive into this a little deeper and try and address some of the questions that will no doubt arise from the community. First off are the “Vidmaster Challenge” achievements. These three will not earn you any gamer points but there will (eventually) be a pay-off. We’re not going to spoil the fun just yet but suffice it to say that gamerscore isn’t everything. There is a pot of gold at the end of the Vidmaster rainbow and it is something you will want. More details later.|[ | {{Quote|Let’s dive into this a little deeper and try and address some of the questions that will no doubt arise from the community.

Prior to [[2012#March|March 31, 2012]] the achievement was necessary in order to unlock [[RECON-class Mjolnir|Recon armor]], as part of the [[Road to Recon]]. After this date, [[Bungie.net]]'s online stat-tracking services were discontinued and the armor was given out to all players by [[343 Industries]] in two waves, and is no longer accessible. Following the shutdown of [[Xbox 360]] ''Halo'' online services in December [[2021]], this achievement will no longer be attainable.{{Ref/Site|Id=shutdown|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sunsetting-halo-xbox-360-game-services-in-2021|SiteName=Halo Waypoint|PageName=Sunsetting Halo Xbox 360 Game Services in 2021}} | |||
