Some of the commendations are aggervatingly hard to get. Dont get me wrong, a challenge is a good thing in some cases but when you are trying to complete things like “forunner destroyer”, well…
Especially the plasma pistol and pulse grenade.
There is a difference between a challenge and Japanese-tier masochistic grinding.
Halo 4 is much closer to the latter.

I got no idea who I’m gonna do the plasma pistol one.

That chart won’t help me kill enemy Spartans with the Plasma Pistol.

Well the OP did refer to the commendation “Forunner Destroyer.”

While that chart seems very helpful (thank you) the other guy is right as well. Even the commendations for multiplayer are too difficult
Plasma Pistol is not that bad IMO. I’m half way thru 3/5. Pulse is not that bad either, it’s just a little more trickier. It instant kills if a player does not have shields when it opens. I think i’m like 3/5 on this too.
Also, they’re not difficult, they’re just a p.i.t.a because it’s a grind to Master them.
Maxing out the “Grounded” commendation in Halo: Reach is far more absurd.
Research it for yourself.
The most outrageous commedation in this game is, the Mongoose Commie. I can never get that.

Thats easy…I know exactly which levels you can complete them, however, you may have to do higher difficulties if you want to get the higher classes, for instance, you’ll run into alot of Knight Battlewagons (scattershots) on Heroic, and Knight Commanders (binary rifle and/or incineration cannon) on Legendary.

Lolz yeah. That was nuts.

I only got to silver with grounded, because I couldn’t take it anymore, but I thought perfections were worse. You can get grounded done quickly if you do it solo and pick certain maps. There was one map(the last one they came out with) which was guaranteed 3 banshees and sometimes 4 if you were lucky. It was the grind that sucked with those types of challenges though.

Grounded, is easy, just play Installation 04, Holdout, Beachead, Unearthed, Glacier, Outpost, Overlook, and sometimes Corvette.
You’ll run into a lot of Banshees on In 04 and Holdout.
For FF AR, you’ll run into alot of Wraiths on Beachead, Glacier, Overlook, and sometimes Corvette.
In FF2x, you’ll run into alot of Ghosts, use Fuel Rod or Rockets on Unearthed, Beachead, Glacier, and Outpost.
Correction, Support Role in Campaign is insane. I haven’t even got the Iron.

That one was easy. You could checkpoint reset for that one.
It’s the inconsistency that really gets me. Some commendations you can max out without even trying, others are a slap in the face. Come on, Crawler Snipers?!
Although, to people who say the Pulse Grenade is impossible to get kills with: use it more. Seriously, take it as your main grenade in every loadout and force yourself to learn how to wring the usefulness out of the flippin’ thing.
If nothing else, there’s the absolute scrub method of getting pulse kills: be winning a close-up fight, and as soon as you see the enemy shield pop, throw the Pulse. Instant kill, no skill required. Make throwing a Pulse your new Headshot, and the commendation will take care of itself.

Grinding through Support Role takes significantly less time than grinding through Grounded.
Look on YouTube. You can max Support Role in one day if you’re that hardcore. You cannot max Grounded in one day. It is impossible.
I don’t understand your thought process.

Well said both of you, Grounded and Perfection are still sitting at Silver even after getting to Inheritor. When I was a lad playing Reach and Gears 3, commendations/onyx medals meant something, but the kids of today want everything right now.
> Especially the plasma pistol and pulse grenade.
Pulse grenade = doesn’t take long to get Master, would be quicker if you started with 2 grenades. Drop their shields, get them to chase you and then drop the Pulse.
Plasma pistol = also doesn’t require many kills to get Master. Instead of using the Plasma to drop their shield and finishing with another weapon, drop their shields with the other weapon or a melee and finish them with the pistol.
I have plasma pistol and Pulse granade mastered already =D
