Halo 5 has gone through a total of ten free content updates for Halo 5 as of January 2017. These updates gave us new gamemodes, enemies, weapons, and vehicles to use, fight, and enjoy in Halo 5. However, there are a seriously lack of new commendations accommodating these new features.
The last weapon to get a commendation was the SPNKR rocket launcher. Yes, the weapon that is a reskin with slight differences when compared to the other rocket launcher got a commendation. But the grav hammer? The plasma rifle? They didn’t get anything. The hunter arms? The pro pipe and Sentinel beam? There’s nothing for them. Why? They were new weapons in the Halo 5 sandbox, so why did they not get commendations when the SPNKR did? Not even the Halo 2 Beam rifle got a commendation despite being nothing more than a reskin of the Halo 5 one!
- The gravity hammer, brute plasma rifle, hunter arms, Reach grenade launcher, Halo 2 Beam rifle, and Sentinel beam need commendations. It’s just not fair that they are left out! - Same goes with the Wasp and AA Wraith! They are new vehicles yet they didn’t get any commendations! They were both highly requested items in Halo for years, just like the SPNKR being in Halo 5, yet there was no commendation for them? Why? - But that’s not all! Infection and Assault are without commendations! Warzone Firefight got some, so why didn’t these? - And finally, the Grunt Goblin should also get a commendation. It’s a new enemy yet there’s nothing for him.If commendations where added for all of these items, it’s give players who’ve put a lot of time into Halo 5 more to work towards. There’s nine new commendations just from the weapons, vehicles, and enemies alone. And a single gamemode could have as many as five commendations if they wanted! New armor and weapon skins could even be rewarded instead of just emblems! Commendations are a great way to learn how to use the different weapons, create strategies for the different game modes, and find new ways to tackle enemies. 343i, please find the time to add new commendations for the items listed above into Halo 5.
I wish halo 5 had rotating commendations like past games did. You had daily commendations, weekly commendations and monthly commendations if I remember correctly. I don’t think giving the weapons missing commendations would suffice as it’s only last so long till I got them done, I’m already 100% on just about everything (few game mode commendations left and mantis destroyer for vehicles). Having rotating commendations can help give you a goal every day,week and month.

I think you’re thinking of daily/weekly/monthly challenges.
yeah i wish those things you mentioned had commendations. The only commendation that i dint think of was the grunt boss, we have warden, so i guess its pretty fitting to have the grunt bosses.
It would be nice to have more commendations. I thought I was the only one who cared about their absence. It would also be nice for the waypoint service record to update for these weapons/ vehicles. There is currently nothing on waypoint showing kills or medals with the grenade launcher or sentinal beam.

Which should also return but that’s for another tread for another day
The brute plasma rifle and the sentinel beam don’t need commendations. They are too hard to get kills with.

Not even remotely true.

I actually haven’t used the Sentinel Beam yet but you can’t be any further from the truth with the plasma rifle.
Also commendations are suppose to be a challenge…
The Mongoose destroyer needs a significant nerf and the Warden kills need to slightly more lenient. You currently need to get the very. last. shot. on him to get the kill to count, which is occasionally infuriating.

It’s probably due to the fact that 343i can’t take away the emblem for those who have it, because they would have to to add the commendations. And Infection/assault do have commendations, just in the game mode settings.

I’m not talking about that kind of stuff. But I guess they could rework existing ones if they chose to add new ones
Campaign commendations would be nice to have as well. I would definitely go back and playthrough the missions on LASO if 343 gave a nice XP incentive to do so.
The commendations do need an update. They can get rid of the Breakout ones while they’re at it.
