Just kidding, there is no such achievement, but that’s not stopping some people:  It has just become apparent to me that junk mail, spam, or whatever you might want to call is now even in Xbox Live.  The only difference this time is since it’s on Xbox, there’s an actual idiot doing it manually.

Just yesterday I received a message on Live from a complete stranger with an attached Halo 3 screenshot.  To my surprise, it was not a picture of someone’s replay showing one of my more embarrassing moments online, nor was it a picture of someone’s self-compensating twig and berries.  It turned out to be similar to this picture you see below, only the armor was red.

This is apparently what you might get if a Spartan and Ghost Rider had a kid.  But it’s probably more like retaliation from someone realizing everybody mutes him when he tries to blast 50 Cent over his mic and camp all day, making his team lose.  The deal is if you send this screenshot to 50 other people, you will unlock “Recon Armor” for Halo3.   According to the above website, there is no such thing, but then I’m sure you would know that, right?  This chain letter has been squelched, but the fact that my version of this picture features a RED flaming spartan probably still means some people haven’t taken the hint and has started it again.

Yes kiddies, you’re not just restricted from being a chain letter composing douche on the computer, you can do it right on your Xbox!
