343 please improve the commendations... read this!

Overall, it has been my goal from the start to complete all the commendations in halo 5.
I have found it fun to complete these commendations and hope to get all of them…but…
There are some commendations that at the moment I cant complete.
These include the clamber kills commendation - as it is just luck and 105 clamber kills is too much for mastery.
Also the unstoppable and against all odds breakout commendations should be reduced ( much less than 63 times for mastery)
Mantis destroyer and phaeton destroyer should also only require less as there are rarely any of the two.
The rest of the commendations seem possible to me and overall I think that the commendations system is amazing - its just bugging me that I wont complete them all because of this.
Please change these 343.
Halo 5 is great though :slight_smile:

One thing I would like to add, once a commendation has been “completed” could the last level of it (5) continue to be unlocked and give us a req pack? It would be nice to get some simple req packs for continuing to do these commendations as once you have completed them all, there would be very little reason for you to return to them.

so for instance, you complete the commendation and after its done, it just keeps ticking around the final level (or call it something else) so when you finish it again, you will get some more goodies! I think this would keep the life of commendations active the whole time you play the game… :slight_smile:

Phaeton kills are very easy to get:
Raid on Apex 7 has a Captain Hestro, killing him will grant you a phaeton kill and your team 150 points.
Battle of Noctus has a phaeton boss that spawns at each garage, killing him will grant you a phaeton kill and your team 25 points.

Mantis kills will be easier to get once more people start unlocking them. Give it time.

Clamber kills I admit are mostly luck, but I would highly recommend keeping an eye on the side entrances to the garages on A.R.C. and Noctus as you must clamber 2+ times to get inside.

I guess that this is a lot easier now that noctus is out.

LOL dood, are you serious? These commendations are THE EASIEST of any halo game. They COMPLETELY dumbed them down so anyone would be able to finish them. You really need to play previous halo titles if you think these are hard.

The against all odds commendation is possibly one of the best ones they have. It actually means when the game is on the line, you stepped up and finished the job, when no one else could. -Yoink- I got 24 towards this achievement just this dec-jan season already. unstoppable is definitely doable if you play breakout (and not hide all the time).

Previous halo games you would need to grind to what felt like forever to get any mastery, and you got a piece of armor and/or an emblem for it. These commendations are a joke.

Ok …I havent played previous halo games so I didnt know…
I still would like to know how people do the clamber kill and mantis destroyer.

Anyone else have any advise on clamber kill and mantis destroyer - or just tips for other difficult commendations.

Mantis destroyer was easy when it was still on guillotine. Now you just have to wait until someone spawns one in on a Warzone map. To add insult to injury, there seems to be a bug that allows players to eject from the mantis when it’s boarded, denying you the kill and destroy credit.

yeah I was annoyed when they took the manis off guillotine!

Anyone got any tips…?

The plasma pistol is hard for me since it’s mostly only good for getting rid of shields

The plasma pistol has no commendation in Halo 5.

Srsly?
I remember grinding hundreds of games to complete only a few commendations in Reach.

Here in Halo 5 after only 1 week i got a commendation pack for “spartan kills” and i thought i just leveled up but no… i completed the commendation… after 1 WEEK!

Sorry if i’m wrong but i think in reach you had to get like 15k kills to get Onyx…
On my main account i had 71k K/20k D, played all possible modes with every kind of weapon and still didnt complete all commendations…

They are a joke in H5… way too few kills/assists/takedowns needed to complete… c’mon, even if you just play 1 hour per week you complete them all in 6 months

For me, the only way to “improve” the commendations is to multiply them all with factor 10

Then it would actually be a goal you have to really work on it… but now its just… well playing the game for 2 months and youre finished

I think the against all odds is fine, but I do think the clamber kills and unstoppable should be reduced. Unstoppable is asking for near-perfections, and the clamber kills one is just outrageous lol

So you are complaining that after the game is out for a bit more than 2 months you still have a very little few commendations unfinished? Really?

This game should last for 2 years, so its ok for me if it takes at LEAST 6 months to complete the commendations (with at least i mean playing 2 hours per day, 5days a week for 6 month)

It should be like “dammn… he completed all commendations… he has to be hardcore”
And not like “oh, he completed all commendations… i bet he played the game for more than 100 games”

It sonething that should be earned through hard work and big time effort…

Lol seriously? I thought all weapons did. That’s awesome. I was going to save it for last.

I play a lot and I don’t have all the commendations. been playing since day 1. some are tough due to the fact that you only have limited opportunities per game.

Just play against people like myself who have no problem reaching req lvl 7, but suck so much with the mantis, I think I’ve only ever got 5+ kills in a single mantis once lol. No but seriously just use active camo when they start bringing out the big guns, so easy to hijack and destroy thinks like that, just remember to pop a few br/dmr shots in after you’ve boarded to guarantee you get the kill, not a team mate

I was doing plasma pistol kills for hours. then I looked there’s no commendation :(.
