I need help on whats the fastest way to get the Mongoose Destroyer commendation up? i usually stick to Big Team, but its rare to even get just one. its just ridiculous…
<mark>Capture The Flag is always Mongoose Season</mark>
Do u think 343 will do something to make this commendation a bit more reasonable?

It… it lives!
I’m picturing an Action Sack variant with over amped plasma pistols and mongooses. Make it happen, community!
Maybe an Infection/Race hybrid gametype where the zombies have Spartan Lasers and the survivors are all driving Mongooses?
First we would need an Infection gametype, since the Flood can’t use SpLasers…
I’ve gotten 4 total. It’s so hard to destroy the Mongoose without killing the driver first. I think that I was successful with stickies on a weak Mongoose or a Spartan Laser, though I remember two different times when I shot a Spartan Laser that killed the driver but didn’t destroy the Mongoose. 
I found a guy sitting way out of combat on a mongoose, when I started shooting at him he turned around and intentionally drove off the nearest cliff. That is my only mongoose destroy.
I would say just give up on this one.
3 stickies works quite nicely
even the gauss takes 2 shots to destroy it, sometimes 3, making it more robust than the banshee or the hog!
Really the other vehicles need a buff, but I’d settle for the goose to be de-feathered a bit.
I did manage to get a goose kill on Ragnarok by shooting it with the guns and rockets, then stamping on it, blooming lucky that was!
I can’t say I’ve ever seen a player use a mongoose outside of BTB.
I had a Mongoose Destroy lined up, dead to rights with the Spartan Laser and right as it was about to go… a team mates head appeared right in the reticle.
Massive Fail.
Mongoose then rammed me for insta-kill. Almost powered off the XBox right then and there.
I have a small handful of mongoose kills and I don’t remember how I got them. CTF is a good gametype for it, especially on ragnarock. Other than that I saw a post of a guy who found a sneaky way of getting them. You intentionally predamage the goose pretty heavily and then drive inside a tight space with enemies. Again, ragnarock works well if you go inside the enemy base. Apparently people are hijack happy and will hijack you. Then you simply stick them real quick and poof, mongoose kill.

The Mongoose is very useful in CTF, I myself use it when I’m playing with a friend. Both Complex and Ragnarok are maps where the Mongoose is useful, so I would say Capture the Flag is the best bet for someone actually trying to get the commendation. BTB then comes second, where I’ve actually seen people with mongooses there too.
I am at 2 of 25 Adept for “Mongoose Destroyer”, so I have somehow gotten 17 Mongoose kills so far. To get “Master” level commendation you need 165 kills total, so this is going to be a tough one to get. I think that was mainly on Ragnorak with the mantis or plasma grenades. Check out my file share for the file:
Moongoose_Double_Kill
for one that I recorded.
What we need is “Team Rocket / Incinerator Cannon Mongoose” Big Team Battle (16 people and 8 teams) on the larger BT Maps.
You both get unlimited rockets / Incinerator Cannon with one person being a driver and the other as your gunner - all riding the mongoose. And 343 should make it so that your weapon only fires IF your on the back of a driven mongoose too - no campers and no special abilities either (i.e no fast shield recharge, no fast weapon reload, no driver perks, no gunner perks etc.).
Also to make it equitable and avoid no one wanting to be a driver, the driver and gunner split the kills equally - so if the team gets 10 kills, each gets 5 kills, if they got 9 kills, they get 4 kills (truncate values) etc.
I think it would be a blast to play this on Forge Island, Ragnorak and Vortex maps.
So how do we suggest this to 343?

nerf the mongoose, it’s OP
Engineers UNCS should have built the Warthogs and Scorpions with the same material used in Mongooses!
You cant kill the Mongoose, Everyone knows that.Its the apex preadator in H4.
The mongoose itself isn’t that Hard to destroy, the problem is that you only Hit the driver if you try to destroy it…
It’s weak just Test it in forge Mode (:
Note: best way I got my kills is Drive over it with a boosted wraith, that Thing kills everything when you use the boost^^
