Now firstly, many have been asking why the requirements for this armour is so high, and why you need to be in a company for it. Well this can be easily answered:
-
It’s not in the RNG- Therefore, you can’t get lucky/pay for it. You have to EARN it, like in the previous halo games
-
Being hard to get is good, so when you see players with it, the first thought you will have is " they earned it". But when I see someone with Mark IV armour in halo 5, that is a relatively low rank for such a piece of armour, I think “they got lucky/paid for REQs”. Now obviously, people out a lot of time to earn Mark IV, but the majority buy REQs or just get insanely lucky. Achilles is different, and we need to see more of this.
Achilles, even though I personally don’t think it looks great (good, but not great), is a step in the right direction, as we finally have armour you earn outside of the RNG. Next, I hope they put base variants (armours without the skins ) as rewards for doing standard commendations.
- And finally, it encourages you to do well, and be active in a Spartan company. This feature has not been utilised by everyone (including myself) but now we have the motivation to do it.
If you disagree, then leave your thoughts as to why, no need to hate, I think this is one of the few things 343 are doing right- and we need to let them, know, so more armours can be like this!!
I’d prefer something that’s difficult that’s tied to an individual tbh…
This is still just a “That guy must be in a SC that plays a lot” reward…Not an “Oh my god that guys a badass” reward!
Its still better than an “That guy got lucky or is rich” reward
This kind of commendation can either be difficult or very easy. Because now its asking people to join spartan companies. And if we join companies we become more social, this also inclines less quitting as we will mostly likely be in a fireteam. Of course, fastest way to rack up the kills is Warzone. Thing is, it is difficult because only strong teamwork can achieve it quickly. A full spartan company deploying up to 8 fireteams (8 fireteams or 96 players, to efficiently maximize achieving the commendation quickly) in warzone can make getting the armor set a lot faster. I don’t know if that how it works though.
Bring it…
What exactly are the requirements
Well think of it this way: a lot of companies, most actually, don’t even have 10 people in them, being mainly for friends or people not joining. So this armor is literally impossible for them to get. Hell, the company I made has 75 people in it and it still seems impossible.

Have multiple teams then?

I agree, I prefer individual too, but my main + with this is it’s not RNG, I may not even get it, but at least they are taking a step to the way it should be. Maybe we will see another Halo 3 recon armour soon.

i understand your point, but I don’t see the problem with a high number, but then again, I’m used to grinding in MMOs with guilds so that may be why. But at least it’s something to work towards with your company, better than grinding REQ packs, that’s for sure.
To to everyone who commented though, I appreciate the good comments so far.

Yes, this is what I like. I hope they add more things like this.
