Subject: *I3utteRzZ's Onyx-MAX Campaign Commendation Guide*

I hate to exploit usually, but now that I've beaten campaign so many times, I feel like I'm not gonna play it much anymore, so I guess I'd feel empty if I didn't comply with my OCD and grab all the commendations I can.

Do you have an estimate as to how many credits you actually get for doing this? Since the commendation is only 2,000 credits, and you stop getting the bonus once you get silver, it seems like you're spending a lot more time trying to get the commendations that aren't worth as much as just playing a firefight or matchmaking game. And those are actually fun, instead of grinding.

There's also an AFK Method for War Machine and like 4 others on Long Night of Solace. Check my file share for the video if you or anyone is interested.

Yeah...being away from your controller is kind of in the gray area as far as being against the rules goes. And also, that's not new, because people figured it out a while ago, and also those people weren't you.

Assuming this is all correct, you get a total of 95,425 cR for getting everything to Onyx (remember there's no cR bonus for getting to Onyx: MAX), plus the cR you earn in-game for each commendation up to silver. Earning cR isn't really the point, it's mostly for commendation completion %.

Halo is one of the most important part of my life.

Thanks Man... Thread saved... You R the best!

I mostly agree with the sentiments expressed by Dr indiana. I don't think the Commendations are meant to be maxed, they are supposed to be a record of what you have actually done through playing the game normally which is actually fun rather than repeating the same checkpoint ad nauseum. I have 3/5 for Flawless Cowboy (Winter Contingency on Heroic and Legendary and Nightfall on Heroic) and I will be pleased when I get the Iron Commendation (I have my eye on Oni Sword Base but that last fuel rod cannon elite is nasty!) but I would ruin the statistic for myself if I glitched it.

I'm restricting my 100% completionist urge to the Achievements which are easier than Halo 3.

That said hats off to l3utteRzZ for his ingenuity, creativity and autistic level of dedication in maxing out all his campaign commendations. That can't have been fun.

I feel the same way. While im not knocking the OP for this thread and his tiresome work, I don't see myself spending so much time doing all this. Maybe one day down the road if Im bored enough, but I still enjoy playing the game itself. It also helps that I dont really get to play as much as I always want to.

Hey ButterzZ,

Super thnx for this post about the commendations i always like to achieve everything in a game!

My question is can you do this on Easy? or you need to do it on Normal difficulty ?

thnx !

One thing to remember is if you Revert to Last Checkpoint too much the game will revert you 2 checkpoints back because it thinks you can't beat the current checkpoint. So it reverts you back 2 checkpoints so you can take a different approach to the last checkpoint.

It needs to be on at least Normal.

Have you actually tried reverting? The only reason you go back two checkpoints is because you're dying, as Butterz mentioned earlier in the thread.

You can max past silver.

Coming soon: http://dpadawan.com/

I have a game saved, currently, that has the target locator (on ONI) already deployed, so when you load it you wait about a second or two at the most, and the first 1 or 2 missiles gets a killionaire and a killing spree. About 3 to 4 seconds total per "reset." It's awesome. ONYX'ed the SpecOps in about 6 minutes from gold, and it's already almost maxed out.
