Why No Commendations for Gravity Hammer?

I don’t see any commendations for the gravity hammer which seems odd, considering they added one for the SPNKR which is almost identical to the default rocket launcher. Is this something that will get added later like the REQ’s?

Probably cause they would be simple to achieve, a couple games of grifball and boom your done

I think so right? Hasn’t been any word on it yet, as well as gamemode commendations for Grifball etc., but I doubt they wouldn’t add anything.
Once the REQs are in you’ll have your answer. I think it is likely

Same could be said about the energy sword. That’s irrelevant.

Well the same can be said for the energy sword, but that doesn’t mean they should remove that commendation.
EDIT: Oops didn’t see the guy above me

Fine heres another, most people use the hammer in grifball, having a commendation for hammer kills would do one thing, promote killing focused matches instead of playing the game. Basically it promotes spawn killing, technically you could try to do this with swords but kills are much harder to achieve in grifball when compared to the hammer.

they did do it in halo reach

I find it also odd that the spnkr commendation is not needed for unsc weapon and weapon mastery. I got the req pack but my spnkr commendation is not done yet.

There are new gametype commendations for spartan companies related to the new content.

Probably because the spnkr was added in an update and the weapon mastery existed beforehand. It’d be pretty lame to take it away or have to change the requirements after people have already gotten it.

Do the close quarters commendations count?

Who knows why 343 does these things…

They do if you get the related medal with the kill, like Brawler.

Honestly, I think this is a non-issue. Grifball has given progress to commendations in the past. Sure, people played the game to grind, but I don’t think commendations are going to promote spawn killing any more than the fun of spawn killing in grifball already promotes it. The only people who would spawn kill in grifball for commendation progress are the ones who would spawn kill anyway. This is ignoring the fact that spawn killing in grifball has always been a thing, and is frankly a legitimate strategy in that game mode as it has real downsides that are easily exploitable.

Especially since the h5 weapon commendations are peanuts compared to previous titles. U need like a hundred kills for each weapon

Nothing a couple games of Warzone won’t fix.

good luck with Unstoppable commendation.

And oddly, instead of a Hammer Kill medal like we have had in previous Halo’s, you get a Sword Kill medal… : /
