Companies and Commendations

Games Halo Infinite
1

I know it’s not high on the list right now but I would love to see a form of the Halo 5 Companies and Companies returning in Halo in Infinite. The achilles grind was fun and rewarding, getting special skins and stuff for completing all the tiers in a commendations felt rewarding. Our company used to do tournaments with gift cards as rewards for grinding the achilles commendations and the comradery was at a high.

It was a long grind, sure, but it was about 6 or 7 years between then and now. Halo Infinite is allegedly supposed to last ten years. I’m not trying to welcome negative comments about 343i or talk about the microtransactions, but I would love to see specific challenges giving specific rewards for completion just like the commendations used to do in 5. It’s more impressive to see someone who got 500 splatters driving around with red koolaid or hunter blood or something like that on the vehicle as a vehicle coating or better yet, add vehicle effects so they can have it on all of their vehicle coatings, it’d be hilarious to see something like tread effects, like just their tire treads being blood red or something.

I’m welcome to suggestions on what you think would be good challenges and rewards.

Completing the plasma pistol commendation in Halo 4 was probably the most challenging thing I had to do in Halo. I did it and would love to do it again. But only after it gets a slight buff it deserves

If you want it in the game 343 will not do it.

Spartan companies and a comprehensive commendation system was one of the most under-appreciated highlights of Halo 5. It turned a mediocre Halo game into a more fun environment to play the game than would have otherwise occurred. If we had a similar system in Infinite at launch I would strongly believe the “anxiety” we now see about the future of Infinite would be reduced considerably as we would be focussed on completing meaningful long term challenges like the OP noted….

That’s not entirely true, but vent your frustrations how you see fit.

It was pretty easy once super fiesta got it’s own playlist, for me it was the plasma rifle I struggled with.

It’s a progress system if nothing else, and one that rewards players on personal achievements so it’s a win-win. I understand they’re still working on the xp and progress, but it made the overall ranking up process feel secondary you know? You don’t notice the grind as much if you’re working on small goals in the mean time. Having a company in addition to that brought people together for common goals and it was an awesome experience, I hate we lost that.
