Dear 343,
Imagine… a special drop firefight mode (for Halo 5 primarily, but not limited to) where the AI population was an entire battalion of Marines (say 400-1000 somewhere).
Why? Well that’s one way for the Halo franchise to have a “zombies horde” mode that would be a ton of fun.
Second, as you may have guessed already, some companies (mine included) are woefully behind at having a crack at finishing all the commendation requirements mostly because of the massive amount of Marine kills required. Why are we so behind on this commendation section only? Well, most of our longtime loyal Halo Franchise company (PS Remember the Humpday Challenge?) being mostly BTB players, are not particularly fond of the Warzone playlist which is the only way to rack up Marine kills required for the Achilles armor company award. We have heard of a number of companies that have completed this requirement using some exploits in order to rack up excessive Marine kills and finish the accommodation. Instead of having to do gimmicks like that, we would much rather see an alternative form of getting Marine kills that does not involve the Warzone playlist, but rather a Firefight mode preferably.
Who else digs what I’m suggesting here? 343, do you think this would be quick and easy to setup? Much thanks and appreciation if you can make it happen!
Yes this is what we need 343! Throw us hard working Halo players a bone and help us get our Achilles before the release of infinite!
Sincerely

Yes , I totally agree with you on this. Or at least have the number of required marines reduced dramatically. Since most of the company’s used the exploit long ago. It’s not very fair for the rest of us.
sounds cool actually, dont forget to give them the relevant vehicle support too, hogs scorpions and air cover. Could be pretty immersive. I’d go so far as to say limit the lives available too, or at least have that as a hardcore mode

While ordinarily I whole heartedly agree with you, this one I will divert with you on. Between excruciatingly high numbers required for achilles (which I’m fine with), and a horribly low server population for the required game modes in which to find marines, I’m actually behind this one. While I haven’t had too terrible of a time trying to find a turbo match, it only comes around once a month (with the exception of December), putting some companies at a disadvantage. If you try to get a regular warzone match, I’ve waited 10-20 minutes trying to find a match, only to be told there isn’t one. I completely agree that achilles is something that should be tough to earn, but as game mode populations dwindle and move to other game modes, those of us still working for it shouldn’t be left out in the cold due to something outside of our control.
This is a great idea. I would definitely like another alternative to getting marine kills and this sounds like a really fun way to do it. The whole point of playing games is to have fun and this sounds fun!
But im agree with you, i feel that 343 wanted to beat Bungie in “Difficulty to get an armor”, the Achilles is the Recon of 343, but of course, they exaggerated.
Anyway you can kill 20-50 marines per match, if your full company kills 50 dailyes marines will end quickly.
If you want to know strategic points or methods to reach 50 marines per match you can send me a message anytime.
However you are not going to finish the marines if your company keeps playing arena.
Let me say this first. I earned Achilles already the hard way. It took a lot of time and marine kills was one of the last ones to get completed… I believe the very last one if I remember correctly. However, I like the Idea of having Zombie hordes coming at me. think it could be really fun. But it would need to somehow be done to where those kills WONT count towards the commendation. A LOT of us had to put in untold hours farming them. It would really suck to just have them coming towards you and those kills counted. A Custom game idea possibly???
