343 should change the requirements for the olive helmet and make them either get a specific number of likes or specific number of plays…For example the 2 most popular maps (in my opinion) are castle wars and survive the underground (they are probably more popular than the ones in matcaking)
the creators if those maps need to earn something…there are also so many cool maps that everyone knows about but that are not in matchmaking and the creators need atleast something right?
Is it that hard to earn the timmy helmet? Just play some popular maps, invite a few friends, set the privacy to “Open to all players” and watch as the lobby fills up.

My bad sorry, I believe the only way to get the olive helmet is to get your map featured into matchmaking then you get the helmet but that’s just my guess.

Wat??? Did u even read my post??? I said that there should be another way to get it…i know how to get the helmet
The way armors in (most) Halos are unlocked are for recognition. This somewhat stopped at Reach, and was to an extent used again for Halo 4. For example, in Halo 3, if you had Recon armor, you were a god. Some people don’t even like its design, they just wear it to show that they achieved it. Forge in Halo 5 is pretty damn hard. The Olive Helmet is a token of recognition for the hard work put into it. I think it should stay as is.

I completely agree. If they release it to more people it begins to lose what makes it special. We need more exclusive armors for achievements.

Yes, especially as I have all the achievements for H5 and Forge , lol 
Finally there’s something that needs to be unlocked through dedication… and now it’s TOO demanding?
This community sometimes…

What people really want are things they can unlock with dedication by themselves. Achilles requires Spartan company participation, Olive requires God knows how many playtests with other people in your custom map to perfect it, not to mention recognition from YouTube, this website, and 343i themselves! Timmy’s alright I guess, but what people want are quests like personal commendation completions! Legendary campaigns! Speedruns! Par scores! Things that can be done alone!
Maybe they could add another one, so maybe you have to host a number (Like 343) of FULL say, 8+ people lobbies to get an emblem or armour. Hard, but achieveable in time.

Yes, i did read it.
And the only answer is: 343 is in charge of who gets that helmet. If the map gets their praise, grats, the helmet is theirs. If not, then wait till your creation is noticed or make something mind blowing.
Fight instead of complaining. The helmet’s rarity is on par with what Recon used to be in the early Halo 3 days. It’s meant to be rewarded to one, whom has made an incredible map.
And i never spoke of Achilles, which is based on group effort, nor Magnum Opus… That’s more of a grind on commendations.
Olive is the Recon of Halo 5… ONE way to get it, is enough and yes, there’s plenty of good maps that SHOULD be in MM and all… but that’s OUR opinions, not 343s.
And do avoid calling people dummy and stupid… That honestly doesn’t net you any respect and thus your post isn’t something to be taken more serious, than a child yelling for a cracker with nutella.

A helmet “earned” by someone else’s opinion…
To “earn” it someone has to think your creations are “good enough” .
There needs to be a Second way.
Like if a 343 member likes your creations = earned, so it doesn’t have to be featured.

That’s how it worked with Recon. BUNGIE had to recognise whatever you had done. Maps featured in matchmaking would do it. Performing admirable feats (Such as good machinimas) would do it. Beating them on BUNGIE day in their own playlist. Winning one of their competitions, such as doing the fastest LASO run on Halo 3.
This helmet isn’t different in terms of getting earned. It’s the RECON of Halo 5. It’s meant to be a symbol of 343s recognition, just as RECON were back then.
Would be nice to have the Olive Helmet go to forgers that have many likes and downloads

How does this rumor keep circulating? Why are you trying to devalue the maps that are in matchmaking? Those maps are chosen by a long and arduous process. Not just because someone knows someone. With statements like that it only amplifies the perception that you are a disgruntled forger who doesn’t have a map in matchmaking, and so says that everyone else’s map doesn’t deserve recognition.
Not a good way to get your ideas heard.

But Recon had a second option, the vidmasters, the olive helmet should do the same, a set of challenging and difficult tasks to get it for the people who either can’t forge, or don’t want to.
No, what’s the point of a exclusive helmet if everyone who makes a forge map gets it? This is beyond stupid, I hope 343 doesn’t fall for crap like this. Most of the people who want it don’t deserve it. How about you put fourth REAL TIME AND EFFORT to get a map featured by 343? Don’t want to go through all the blood sweat and tears doing that? Well then you are undeserving of the helmet and do not deserve to be recognized.
I have spoken!
