So a lot of the commendations are pretty standard, but a few of them are near impossible, just like in Halo 4…
To start, Destroy enemy occupied Mongooses. Why did they keep this from Halo 4?? This dumb commendation is so hard to get because by the time you get weapons strong enough to blow them up, people stop using mongooses…
Warden killer - Another dumb one. With one spawning a match for Warzone, and only at the very end. It will take ages to get this done since you have to be the one to get the kill. It should be kill or assist at least.
Phaeton - This will probably be easier as more people unlock stuff, but I still haven’t even seen one in Warzone.
Unstoppable - Survive a full match of breakout. Some people may think this is a cool challenge, but it really just seems insane. It’s harder to get than a perfection. It’s hard enough to win a full 5 rounds of breakout in a row, but to do it all without dying is insane.
I really like the commendations other than these ones. Maybe I’ll have to just get good to do them, but to be honest these three (minus the Phaeton) just seem impossible.
Seriously, all of these are just ridiculous. Although luckily no achievements are tied to them (unless they add some, in which case I’ll probably just cry)
Although I assume having full fireteams for these gametypes would at least make Mantis, Warden, and Breakout ones plausibly achievable… Although, if making people finding full regular fireteams on their own (especially for Warzone), it’d be just as frustrating to me as Destiny not having any type of matchmaking for certain events. It’s not a perfect comparison because in Destiny you really need trust and good communication for Raids, but I digress.
Warden isn’t too bad…I can get kill credit periodically by just spamming a Kinetic Bolts BR on his forehead when he’s at really low health. If you’re lucky you can also pull off a clutch assassination on him. It will take a long freakin’ time, but it’s doable.
For Phaetons, the easy way to get the Phaeton Destroyer pack is to just kill Recon Pilots and Captain Hestro in Warzone.
The Phaeton Gunner, though, requires you to get lucky with either finding a Legendary-class Req or getting lucky with an Ultra Rare Random Vehicle…
Try getting 5/5 kill commendations for the new armour + helmet that is coming out. Spartan companies that have been created since release only have 2/5 or maybe 3/5 for some, it will take you up to 5 months+ to achieve the armour and to be honest, it’s not even that special.

I’ve got some of there already. Killed warden a few times, survived breakout once. They’re all possible, just might take some time to get.
The hardest one is the cliffhanger one, that medal should honestly count towards the combat opportunist commendation instead of being its own commendation.

I’m already done with the Warden. I’ve finished all weapon and all enemy commendations already. I’m very close on vehicles too. Half way done with level 5 on Phaeton kills. The only commendation I think may be almost impossible to get is the unstoppable. That is the 1 I’m not sure on. The others are all very reasonable. I actually think they went WAY too easy with enemy commendations. Those should have been doubled or even tripled, especially with Firefight counting when it comes back.

Play big team battle, hopefully get Fracture in the map rotation, rush camo, sneak over to their mantis and hijack it. This can be done multiple times a match.
