A firefight version of this would be nice. I'm still trying to find the perfect way to get vechicle kills and destroys. it'll probably be much slower without checkpoint resets, but I'd really like to knock those out faster.


I've just recently started playing gruntpocolipse on Beachhead and parking the rocket hog by the rocks, then you just climb on the turret and shoot them comming down the hill.

Its pronounced Banhammer.

Nice Arm is very ineffective compared to what I can do for you.

First mission, after being dropped from the falcon into the courtyard. 2 frags + 2 stickies should be more than enough to kill the 8-10 enemies while nabbing you multikills/sprees [sprees if you're lucky and skilled to get 10 repeatedly]

Now to get the checkpoint right as you land, that is the hard part, but so worth it if you do because you can earn 1,000 kills in less than 10 minutes doing it that way.

an idea for getting Super Soldier faster:

when doing War machine and right of way I decided to just ram them all and if I got the timing right I could splater all 10 of them getting me a splatter spree and the next splatter spree and a killing spree in just a few seconds, much better then what you have now.

You sir have done some great work on this. I had 57% commendation progress before I read this. Now, challenge accepted.

I only need to Onyx Support Role and I'll have full Onyx. Maxing out is gonna be tough, but I wanna switch my attention to Firefight for some time.

Amazing guide, I wasn't sure that all this Revert to Saved stuff is ban-safe. :P

The two that I find that take the longest are the Precision weapons, and the Automatic weapons, the numbers for Onyx are just insanely high, even with the checkpoint reverting glitch.

  • 02.03.2011 1:42 PM PDT

Are these methods ban-able?

  • 02.03.2011 3:47 PM PDT

Why was 6 afraid of 7?




It wasn't, numbers are not sentient beings and thus incapable of feeling fear. Get your facts straight.

Great suggestions. I just repeated enemy heavy areas for multikills, sprees, etc. The only one I actually have done was the target designator on ONI for Heavy weapon kills. But great guides, nonetheless.

no these methods are not bannable. its just being smart and using what was already put there. If it were bannable, this post would of already been locked and deleted.

The hard achievements are easy to get, also, if you go the Halo: Reach in the Game Marketplace there are videos that will show you how to get the hardest Achievements. Such as, Banshees Fast and Low. that's just one of the 3 achievements it shows you how to get.

How does reverting to the same checkpoint, then doing the same thing 1000x in a row sound like fun?

If your willing to waste 20+ hours of your time boosting commendations, then that alone speaks for itself.

It's fun to have 100% campaign commendations.

No, that's not quicker. I did the Nice Arm commendation his way, got the triple nade kill almost the exact instant after it checkpointed, and I guarantee you I could have reverted at least ten times before you even finish throwing the fourth nade. The revert became second-nature: Start, A, LT, A. Hit Start with my left thumb, A-LT-A. Had Max Onyx before the movie I was watching was over. The only time wasted is that second or so while the game freezes for that split second while it loads the revert.

And seeing as how everyone and their mother has done the Target Locater method and has the Super Soldier commendation, I can't imagine the difference in time from throwing 4 grenades (without even a guaranteed spree.... when you prefaced that with "if you're good", haha) could possibly usurp the methods in the first post.

EDIT: *left thumb, not right thumb.
