We all know that sniping the banshee is the easiest way to kill it for the Grounded commendation. But in 2x score attack sniping the banshee will not count towards Grounded. But there is a way to make it count, you have to weaken the banshee first, basically until there is smoke coming out of it. Be careful not to shoot it too much because it will explode. So shoot it until it’s on fire and then switch to your sniper and shoot it and it will count to your Grounded commendation. For those who knew about this then good for you and those who didn’t here you go.
or you can just use the human turret which works perfectly.

In 2x Score attack? That never works for me. I can weaken the banshee with the turret and then snipe it and that will count. The turret does work in everything else but not in 2x.
Dunno buddy, works fine for me. i rather get my banshee kills on “Installation04” tho
you get atleast 4 to 7 during a game of arcadefight sometimes more if any of the covies use the turret and you kill them while they are shooting you with it.
any gametype on that map will give you a heap of a vehicle kills.
Arcade fight on installation 04 with a sniper. Works every time. Or 2x Holdout and fuelrod + jetpack. Fly right up to it and shoot it so it cant dodge.

You are right, I was only referring to sniping the banshee in 2x score attack. It seems to work then the banshee is weak or is on fire. If you snipe it without weakening it then it won’t count.
The problem is that you do 2x damage on 2x Score Attack (hence the name), and shooting vehicles often has the result of killing the driver a split-second before the vehicle blows up. But since at that point the exploding vehicle is technically unmanned, it doesn’t count.
However, I’ve played 2x Score Attack on Installation 04 a few times, and I got the Banshee kill each and every time when I sniped it twice.
Thanks Stealth Ninjahh I didn’t know this, and I will give it a try. You can always pick up the plasma launcher or laser aswel, those can be very useful. But it’s so annoying that there not always there so you can’t really count on them.
the problem that i find with that commendation is that there are not enough vehicles on maps to start with.
IF your lucky 1 of what ever vehicle will show up, what is needed is a NEW map that is 90% vehicles attacking your location.
maybe some thing like the defence of the Autom when you have the mass driver, only remove it and have the map like a castel wall or some thing.
placed in locations all over it could be turrets of what ever kind and a few of each heavy weapon so that you CAN kill said vehicle or some thing.
if there is a ground, have some thing like … 3-4 banshee, 2-3 wraith, 4-6 revs and 6-10 ghosts attacking you.
just got to make sure that they will actually put up a good fight but gives you enough cover at the same time.
hell they could even use some thing like the Forge world vally (blood gultch/quagulation) sp
The reason why this happening is because in 2x score attack you get 200% of attack…
Ennemy are less resistant so you kill him before to kill the vehicle 
Spy46: Beach Head can give you either 2 wraiths or a wraith and ghost, Installation04 will give you up to 3 to 4 banshee’s in just 2x score attack or any other gametype on that map and up to 7 banshee’s in arcade fight.
other maps like Glacier, Overlook and Outpost will also give you some vehicles in score attack sometimes.
when ever you see a covie on a human turret make sure you kill the covie while its on the turret as that counts for the “Grounded” commendation
Interesting discussion. Thanks for the info. I’d always wondered why they didn’t seem to count for commendations.
heres the thing that im saying, is that there are how many grount troops, depending on game type 100 - 150 ish?
per game at a time, you get 1 - 2 vehicles per round.
what im saying is that there SHOULD be a map where its some thing like … 6 vehicles at a time per round or some thing so that its not such a pain in the -Yoink- to not only get that commendation but it could make it even more fun in some respects.
