Subject: Halo 4 Weapon Commendations

Sitting from afar and ending lives before your location is even known. Accuracy is your greatest asset, and you use it well. Linda would truly be proud.

So looking through some of the weapon commendations, I notice that the Plasma Pistol has one for getting kills. After putting it on and playing a few games of Regicide with it, I realize that... this isn't possible. In Reach I could rapid fire the Plasma Pistol and get kills no problem, in this game it's just... awful. I took a buddy and tested it out, it takes every single shot from one "clip" to kill them. I have no idea how I'm going to get this, but I'm going to one way or the other.

Any thoughts on this? It just seems too difficult.

I really hate how terribly difficult they made the commendations.

There just aren't enough moments in the day to rectify the wrongs of the past.

I can pick up about any weapon and do decent with it, but some weapons just seem impossible to get hundreds of kills with as you've said.

Is that sarcasm? I honestly don't think they're near as hard as Reach was. I already finished the Assassin one :/

Are they as bad as Gears 3?

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

Yeah, Reach's were impossible. I never saw anyone with 100% done. Hell, I only got like 50% or so done.

I'm way further along in this game. Seems more possible.

Yes, I know my username is the 330th sequel to a terrible movie. You don't have to keep telling me.

The only problem is with Assassin for me is even if you've already stuck your knife in them and a teammate kills/shoots the guy you're assassinating before the entire animation finishes you don't even get the medal.

Nope, I really think some of them are impossible.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Commendations are ridiculous.

Though the morrow may be barren of promises, nothing shall forstall my return.

Try playing slayer pro or swat where there aren't radars. Yoinks will still happen, but you will have more opportunities for assassinations that way.

MEant towards that skyline guy, forgot to quote.

Like I said above, I've already finished this one. People get tunnel vision in Regicide. As long as you make sure you aren't the kind, people basically ask you to assassinate them :P

But the Plasma Pistol commendation is just impossible.

Does anyone know if Spartan Ops counts for your weapon commendations? In Reach they did.

I love my Venator Armor. Assassin professional. But, yeah, I have no idea how you'll get Plasma Pistol kills. In Reach, I used to laugh when I got kills with it. In this game, I'll probably die of laughter if I kill someone with it.

I just got out of a Regicide game on Adrift and I can safely say it IS possible... if you don't mind going insane. I got 6 kills with it that game, and I had to really fight for them. It seems the only way is to charge it, then spam it. Dexterity is going to be your best friend. Good luck.

I've gotten a few so far not even really trying... People shooting others and I hit them with a over charged shot.

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

I hate the one for that one visor where you need to get Master level commendation for First Strikes. Like, seriously? What are the chances of getting those each game?

It might be easier if you grab the damage boost whenever you can.

Big Team Battle with active camo is assassination heaven. Turn it on and people looking for you lose interest and you call follow up and assassinate them.

In an hour of Flood matches I get 5-6 first strike medals.

Well at least the commendations are not as bad as the ones in Gears 3...

You think that's bad? Try getting Master level with pulse grenades.
