When using that video to get "Flawless Cowboy", do you have to start at the beginning of the mission AND not die?


yes


False. You can die as many times as you want on your way through the mission.

Are you playing on easy difficulty? -> Commendations don't count on easy.

Hey is there anyway of doing the Support Role commendation somewhere else? I have tried numerous times on Nightfall and can't seem to get it right. There has to be another way to get this commendation other than the Nightfall level. This is also my last hard commendation to get in Campaign to Onyx.

You can only do the War Machine AND Right of Way (Vehicle Kills)
Sabre commendation 1023 times till you stop getting kills which kinda slows you down..

horrible punctuation is horrible.

Cheating-no you're playing the game, you are not creating a "nifty little program" to do all the work for you.
Feedback tampering-howthefrak does this count as feedback tampering?

For the automatic one, it never gives me the checkpoint after damaging the grunts? why is that.

All is fair in love and Halo. The only thing you can benefit from doing this is credits/ new armor. I personally would like playing firefight to rank up and earn credits. Defiantly worth trying, Nice find!

Exactly, finally someone with sense.

And its not like Bungie is really giving you any options to max out commendations in any other way.

Checkpoints in Campaign
Score Attack in Fire Fight
Full Party Boosting in Matchmaking

See what I mean? This is a completely legitimate tactic that Bungie is allowing to help players complete their commendation progress's.

When FurY Arrives No One Survives.

I found a way to get the Head shots and precision weapons done faster.

On Night Fall.
Kill the elite and two grunts fall down and line your self up with the two of the three grunts that are sleeping, crouch walk backwards (towards the rock check point) and if you do it right you can kill two grunts with two head shots with the sniper every .5 seconds.

A REVERTING TATIC When I revert to save, on my left hand I have my left thumb on the start button and my index finger (pointing finger) on the Left trigger and on my right hand I have my index finger on the right trigger and my thumb on the A button.
By pressing: Right trigger, Start, A, Left Trigger, and A in that order allows you to revert to last check point.
It takes a little learning to lock down the sequence but once you have it, the reverting will be much quicker.

If you are not shooting a weapon (ex: nice arm commendation) then use this sequence: Start, A, Left Trigger, A.

If all you need is the Leadership kills then this method works pretty well for me.
It helps to have a second person who is not on your consol signed in so that the game still continues even though you are in the pause mode.

On Night Fall, kill the two grunts LEAVING THE ELITE ALIVE. Make sure the elite is "RED" this is considered a leader Elite, it is possible to get the elite to be red on Normal it might take a few MISSION RESTARTS (not revert to saves) to change it to Red.
After killing the two grunts run along the trail and turn around keeping your sniper positioned on the elites head, once you hit the check point FIRE! By using my method of reverting you can get a leadership kill every .3-.5 seconds depending on how fast you do it.
NOTE: IF you decide to do it by yourself make sure you aren't pressing start too quickly. You have to wait for the Elite's shield to disapate before pressing start. By reverting while the elite's shield is bright white it doesn't count as a kill. (AT LEAST FOR WHEN I WAS GETTING THE 75 ELITE KILLS IN CAMPAGIN) I don't know if this holds true to commendations, but as soon as you see the sniper kill medal fade in you can revert to save, it takes a bit to find out the perfect timing, but once you have it down it's very fast.

Hope this helps.

Nice, but they're fairly specific commendation gainers. With the other ways we have you can get multiple commendations in one go. I like the sniper one though, but if its for precision weapon, then the focus rifle technique is much better. The headshots are nice, though.

Overall, nice.

Its not for cR, although the target locator is a nice quick 20k. Its for completing the commendations to max onyx as a completion thing, not for cR.

  • 12.02.2010 5:02 PM PDT

Small arms you can also use the Magnum, and Standard Issue you can use the Assault Rifle. Easier on grunts for both weapons.

  • 12.02.2010 5:17 PM PDT

If you think Reach is bad... chances are, you're bad at it.

Very useful... but boosting campaign is sorta a waste of time to be honest.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I was wondering, is there any point getting commendations to MAX? Since the reward for maxing after onyx seems to be 0 cR.

  • 12.05.2010 1:24 AM PDT

Getting comms to max doesn't increase you Comm progress % either, so no.
