Unlocking Recon armor in Halo 3 feels way more rewarding than unlocking this shit. Achilles requires time and grind while Recon rewards you for unlocking Mythic achievements. Most people who enjoy playing Halo (like myself) don't have the time to unlock the Achilles. I don't want to waste my life unlocking something that will not benefit me in the long run. If I were to unlock Achilles, will I be rewarded to get a VIP pass to go visit 343 industries? Will it unlock exclusive REQ's such as armor, weapons, etc? Gaming is a hobby not a lifestyle.
Churro Blast the recon helmet doesn't help you either in halo 3, neither does the katana but it just looks cool. And to get recon in halo 3 took a long time and tries for anyone so it really isn't different that this helmet.
Eh. Looks like I'm never getting this helm. By the looks of the Spartan Companies look like they take themselves too seriously with rules and dumb shit. I play for fun. Keep your fake virtual military to yourself, mate.
w4rr10r11 I know old comment, but there's actually quite a few that are really laid back. I'm in one right now whose only rule is that being inactive for about a month means a kick. That's plenty of time to play at least a bit so you don't get kicked.
Just looked up my career Halo kill total out of curiosity... Halo 1 was offline so don't have stats for it but totaling my kills from Halo 2, 3, Reach, 4, MCC, and 5 gets me just over 225,000 kills. I played Halo 1 MP with friends about as much as Halo 2 online so probably can add another 30,000 kills for that so my total series kills since 2001 is probably in the vicinity of 250,000 to 260,000 kills. Just over halfway to the 500k mark and that's with 16 years of playing Halo... wow
i see im 2 YEARS late to reply but i dont think many people do this simply because the helmet looks cool but rather it shows their dedication towards the game itself
I just wish the helmet was the easiest part no reason to show your entire dedication to the game from just a helmet it should at least be the whole of the armor
I feel that this is worth mentioning: Those numbers you were using are only for Level 5 of the Commendations. The counters reset after you complete each Level. Meaning, in the case of No Hard Feelings, that you have to get hundreds of thousands of kills before the 486,000 of Level 5.
Just got my Achilles 3D statue in the post, I ordered it 8 weeks ago (I live in England ) , it was well worth the wait, he looks sooo cool, highly recommend getting a 3D printed model when u get Achilles Luke :)
You didn't take into account you need at LEAST 4 players for your company to become "active", because if you don't, any kill you do won't count towards the achiless commendations. I have the aquilles armor and helmet, I got it rather quickly with my company, which had like 70 very active members.
meh achilles is the cancer of halo 5 it doesn't requires as much skill as it requires time and it encourages things like farming kills in warzone where you and your team intentionally ignore bosses and AI only to trap the enemy team in their main spawn and farm the max amount of kills per game
I think this amour was a good idea by 343I. The biggest issue I see from it is people team stacked in Warzone who just farm kills. I would have also liked to see some other amours unlocked through commendations. Achilles amour is the only amour I see in Halo 5 and go "wow, that players has Achilles"
***** I didn't mean what it did to the community, I just meant that to unlock it and such, is the only amour I say "wow that player has Achilles". I agree though, it was implemented poorly
Welp I was about to pick this game up and now that I know about everything thanks to you guys in the community I'm finally ready for my 16/7 halo days for 5 years grinding to become and average player in halo.
smileyfacism two problems: 1. final exams incoming 2. i am german so i don’t speak englisch that good. Well... i love the Sangheli so... Halo 2 i am coming!
I played a game of Halo 3 Classic Throwback in Halo 5’s social arenas, and we played Capture The Flag on their remake of The Pit. I grabbed a sniper rifle, was killed, but I baited it by throwing a plasma grenade at it so it would stick immediately and I got a triple kill from the grave because three people went to go pick it up and the same time. I got a From The Grave, Triple Kill, And Cluster Luck medal.
I'm really interested in getting the Achilles helmet, but I'm not doing it solo. Is there any Spartan Company that I can join so we could work together and get the armor set?
I bought the game like 11 days after release. I got like 16 hours and then left it for R6S as that game is better but now. 375 days later from my last campaign save I started playing the game again on breakout and swat and I'm having the time of my life it is so addictive
ikr, exactly! @ that pace it would take a solo player a few decades to get it done lol. A solo player would have to play the same 4 month grind 100 times. 400 months > 3 decades- that's pretty gnarly from that perspective
Me and my group went crazy on Halo 5. We would save up 100s of thousands of req points trying to get the Achilles set from gold packs. We didn’t know you have to make a Spartan group or whatever. We got at least 60k kills between just 3 of us. We would’ve met the criteria if we had known from the beginning. Now we came back 2 years later and found this out. All that work was for nothing cuz 98% of the armor in Halo 5 is trash
They actually shut down the original halo waypoint anyways, plus most groups already have the set so unless you got it before the actual server shut down its physically impossible as of 2023
343 could add New Achiles helmet variation on the req packs, like they did to helioskrill who had to complete all campains on Halo mcc legendary difficulty
Dig the math, really neat stuff, but as other comments mention, you do need a minimum of 4 players to even start a company and work towards those commendations. To be fair, you could just have 3 "dead" accounts join with you and it would pretty much be you alone going for it...but man, the total time dedicated is mind boggling...
I have a company that people, if you want to join, go to halo waypoint and find statues of sanghelios. we love new people to play with and we dont really care what you do as long as you put forth.
If you receive the Achilles's armor, you wanna know why you should never change it for any other armor in Halo 5? Because it will be the only armor you actually EARNED.
Dude I wish i could at least at the very least be on the mcc home screen go to profile career thing and see achilles challenges right there and the you could go solo in any order to get the pieces and the easiest part would be getting the helmet you just play the game regularly and eventually you would get this helmet and be able to enjoy it gorgeous view on your spartans body as you play but for those who like hardcore playing halo you can go for the rest of the armor now one thing is for sure people will know an entire achilles armor man from a regular helmet only achilles armor man. And for those like me we get a nice sweet helmet for the elites oh im sorry i meant SPARTANS there is the whole armor. Also make it so the specific color of red or blue that are unique only to those who have the helmet of achilles can actually have on of the two on them in team play. That way you satisfy all
You can quit matches without being banned by changing to a new game on your Xbox and then go back to Halo. You have to go through the game intro, though.
If your going solo and really need they helmet and you really hate team work, Get ready to waste a fraction of your life on the couch. By the time you get it (assuming it didn't came in your req pack), halo 6 would had came unless you go nonstop and fast. Tbh, I already enjoy having the EVA [C] helmet (aka Wrath) and mark VI armor. I rather keep the deathly smile face. Already enough work with reqs.
4:08 how will that get you banned? Don’t judge me, I own an original Xbox, I’ve owned Reach (on the family’s Xbox 360 which is sold) I’ve played Halo 3, again on the 360, but I’ve never played Guardians, so I wouldn’t know, I’ve also played O.D.S.T. on the 360
Fuck Achilles. No one would care anyways. Not a lot of people look at Spartan armors since they're so busy shooting at shit. This is the reason why I wished Halo 5 had the reach design on pre game lobby so you can easily see their accomplishments.
Can we complete the commendation in Custom Games! Like the commendation which says to snipe the driver out of the vehicle! Can we complete that in Custom Games?
yeah me too im a good player and i spend a decent amount of time on halo but i dont play 12 hours plus and i was wondering u wanna make a spartan company lol or something where i can get the armor without getting backstabbed or kicked lol
Gavin Thompson whats ur gamertag, and im mainly set on achilles but do u think if u make a custom game and farm one of ur friends for certain achievements u need for achilles u could achieve achilles or no?
8:50 beep beep. BTW I think I could, but my company is almost never on. But I'm one of those "plays, eats, sleeps, game" kind of guys, so I think I could. Plus perfectionists like me would find this fun.
I'm probably going to get called stupid for this or something of the sort, and it's probably a stupid idea, but, I wish someone would make a petition to get more assassinations created in Halo 5. Like, an assload more. Lol, I love those assassinations. *is ninja and has no other skill* No, I'm kidding. (Hopefully.) But, I would really love to see more and more assassinations of every rarity come out frequently. Not necessarily an update for ninjas (I feel like that would cause controversy sadly) but for stealthy Spartans or something of the sort (probably the same thing). Although I'm doubtful anyone will listen and/or get this made and win. :/
*Cracks knuckles*
Looks like I'm not leaving my cave anytime soon
challenge accepted.
Hey Church good luck getting those Sniper kills!
Lt. Miller I actually have a Halo Reach vid proving that I CAN hit shit on my channel.
Lt. Miller But to answer your question it's alot easier when they DON'T move
You're Church. Just fragment yourself and work together. =P
This game is rigged against people like me who have no friends.
Free lix true they should have really rare helmets that you can only get solo
Ahem finishing a certain halo 5 campaign solo....
Thorn I finished the campaign and didn't gave me shit
are you talking about helioskrill? you can unlock that from gold packs so it no longer feels like an accomplishment
Karan Jani not the normal variant

My Name uh Khoè unless your a full time youtuber then that would technically count as both
Churro Blast the recon helmet doesn't help you either in halo 3, neither does the katana but it just looks cool. And to get recon in halo 3 took a long time and tries for anyone so it really isn't different that this helmet.
Churro Blast for some people it’s a lifestyle
"This is not doable for anyone with a life outside of Halo."
Lucky me.
Eh. Looks like I'm never getting this helm. By the looks of the Spartan Companies look like they take themselves too seriously with rules and dumb shit. I play for fun. Keep your fake virtual military to yourself, mate.

w4rr10r11 Good point, that's why I don't join them. They're just dumb kids who won't go to the actual military & just make up their own
So Hamlet is urs not full, im looking for a spartan company. I dont have time to play 24/7.
Koveet Roeun It is full unfortunately.
Well, u need at least 4 players in a company before it becomes active so, no, it's not possible AT ALL
They can leave the company
+Arc 48 it would become inactive then
I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure.
You could add in smurf accounts that you made
each of which would cost you around $50-$80

When i clicked this video. I never thought it'd be this I N S A N E !
The Achilles helmet isn't worth it
i see im 2 YEARS late to reply but i dont think many people do this simply because the helmet looks cool but rather it shows their dedication towards the game itself
The company im in (which im sure i joined before it) has 7300 first strike kills and i dont have the helmet?
I just wish the helmet was the easiest part no reason to show your entire dedication to the game from just a helmet it should at least be the whole of the armor
Yeah but the body
you need at least 5 members in a company to start progressing to achilles helmet or armour
4
yeah but good luck getting achilles with only 5 (4) members in a company
+Jason Byrd Jr its 5 total. 4 if you dont include yourself
Congratulations, you've just rendered this whole video invalid. XD
abraham m oh i wasnt including my self lol
I feel that this is worth mentioning: Those numbers you were using are only for Level 5 of the Commendations. The counters reset after you complete each Level. Meaning, in the case of No Hard Feelings, that you have to get hundreds of thousands of kills before the 486,000 of Level 5.
Just got my Achilles 3D statue in the post, I ordered it 8 weeks ago (I live in England ) , it was well worth the wait, he looks sooo cool, highly recommend getting a 3D printed model when u get Achilles Luke :)
Dang, does anyone here live in America? Anyone??
I dooo
I used to but was born in arizona
Angry Squid you just gave me an idea
"Halo 7 will probably be out in 5 years from now" uhhh..
You didn't take into account you need at LEAST 4 players for your company to become "active", because if you don't, any kill you do won't count towards the achiless commendations.
I have the aquilles armor and helmet, I got it rather quickly with my company, which had like 70 very active members.
Answer: Grind like a bitch
Basically yeah
I have 2 friends that are twins that are in the notable company zeta and they have Achilles armor
meh achilles is the cancer of halo 5
it doesn't requires as much skill as it requires time and it encourages things like farming kills in warzone where you and your team intentionally ignore bosses and AI only to trap the enemy team in their main spawn and farm the max amount of kills per game
And you're the lazy ass cancer of Destiny!
I still want to hear those stories you mentioned when we first met, pal. For I've yet to hear them.
Modern Viking uuuuuuhhhhh... tell you what, i've been thinking about that and maybe by destiny 2 i'll tell you one or two of those stories
The Speaker fucking true that helmets is garbage
The Speaker Im happy you died in Destiny 2
Masha
My company The Achilles Grinders only has 45% and we've been full since july
lmao really? My company has only about 20 Active members and we have 87% of all kill commendations.
Yo Garruk!
Your company doesn't seem to like working as a team. How long has it been since you set it up??
I finally got into a spartan company 7 commendations away from getting the helm I’m thankful 😂
Can I join bro?
@@jace3146 you can join companies anymore
K, I might need a coffee for this one
Wouldn't Infection be best for First Strike medals since there are five rounds per game, meaning five possible First Strike medals.
I think this amour was a good idea by 343I. The biggest issue I see from it is people team stacked in Warzone who just farm kills. I would have also liked to see some other amours unlocked through commendations. Achilles amour is the only amour I see in Halo 5 and go "wow, that players has Achilles"
i go: Oh, That fucker has achilles, :\

I've actually seen people with this helmet once or twice. Had no idea what it took to get it, wow.
Cant believe you crunched all these numbers. gj!
No one invites me to Spartan Companies.... I'm a solo player all my friends on Xbox play other games
Zechariah Stryhanyn same.
Just get helioskrill the old fashioned way and feel proud that you survived Jackal Snipers the Game!
smileyfacism two problems:
1. final exams incoming
2. i am german so i don’t speak englisch that good.
Well... i love the Sangheli so... Halo 2 i am coming!
Zechariah Stryhanyn you can sometimes check custom search for recruitment
I’m trying to get the armor set with only 2 people as we speak wish me luck :)
Don't you need 4 members in the company for it to be active?
yep
You could have smurf accounts in there
OctoMuffin yes but you can get 4 people then those other 3 quit the game sooo
In all simple honesty, WE need some solo unlockable armors.
Congrats on 2 million
I loved this video lmao. Youre a great presenter. Good Job
Thank you! Check out my other ones!
HAHAHAHA I LOVE THE PART WHERE I TBAG ALL OF THEM LOL😂😂😂😂
Rest in pepperoni
Wait I just made a company, do custom games count for the commendations...but I highly doubt it
I played a game of Halo 3 Classic Throwback in Halo 5’s social arenas, and we played Capture The Flag on their remake of The Pit. I grabbed a sniper rifle, was killed, but I baited it by throwing a plasma grenade at it so it would stick immediately and I got a triple kill from the grave because three people went to go pick it up and the same time.

That Halo 6 and Halo 7 bit aged poorly
I would have the From The Grave commendation done pretty fast, I'm always dying lol
My avg life span 0.0(to the infinith power)1
Edit: Math
I'll just stick with my proudly earned helioskrill
I got that out of a gold pack. Sorry man. 343 fucked ya.
I'm really interested in getting the Achilles helmet, but I'm not doing it solo. Is there any Spartan Company that I can join so we could work together and get the armor set?
Alpha has some openings right now
***** Okay. I'll join it when I get the chance.
***** Awesome! I sent a request to join the company just now. My Gamertag is Zach Shirik2000.

I was lv 8 before and now 10 so I have only played like 5 small games
8:14 "Halo 6 Will definitely be out" boy, was he wrong about that.
Original Dadbods unlocked the helmet after 4 months of near constant daily grinding
But that was 100 players. This is just 1
ikr, exactly! @ that pace it would take a solo player a few decades to get it done lol. A solo player would have to play the same 4 month grind 100 times. 400 months > 3 decades- that's pretty gnarly from that perspective
yeah that's what the video was trying to say
indeed
it has been 5 years and no halo game
Me and my group went crazy on Halo 5. We would save up 100s of thousands of req points trying to get the Achilles set from gold packs. We didn’t know you have to make a Spartan group or whatever.

Bro, there's not even enough players online. I legit can barely find a match outside of custom games
Fr
343 could add New Achiles helmet variation on the req packs, like they did to helioskrill who had to complete all campains on Halo mcc legendary difficulty
what is a spartan company? is it like a fireteam or clan?
Yes
This doesn't seem too difficult~"Six months later" IT HURTS TO LIVE
- says my ass
im in a company with other ppl, i was just wondering if custom games count.
Wow. Your good at math!
you went all game theory up in here
In quarantine there is alot of time to do this

Ha he said that in 5 years halo 6 would come out and this would shut down. Well look at us now .... stuck with halo 5 still
You can quit matches without being banned by changing to a new game on your Xbox and then go back to Halo. You have to go through the game intro, though.
Grifball is way faster for kills power weapon kills and mêlée kills you can average 40 kills in a 10 min game yet you didn't bring that up
You don't get melee kills in grif, you get sword and grav hammer kills.
I guess that would work.
You get melee kills
If your going solo and really need they helmet and you really hate team work, Get ready to waste a fraction of your life on the couch. By the time you get it (assuming it didn't came in your req pack), halo 6 would had came unless you go nonstop and fast.
Tbh, I already enjoy having the EVA [C] helmet (aka Wrath) and mark VI armor. I rather keep the deathly smile face. Already enough work with reqs.
Guys ALPHA IS SO CLOSE
Do the commendations and all you already have count towards the group ones or do you start at 0?
Does it count the kills, medals, and commendations you already have? Or is it a zero sum when the company begins?
wt is your spartan company cold luke
Halo Reach is still online after almost seven years... Hell, even Halo 3 is still up.
Will forever be a lone wolf.
It isnt possibly because a spartan company isn't active until there are at least 4 player in it.
the grenade kills took my company the longest
We got alot of first strikes in infection, my company members and I, you can get one every round
luke can math
and pretty damn well
8:15 "Halo 6 will definitely be out less than five years from now."
Oof.
Soo..if i join a company that already got those objectives completed? Would i get the helmet?
does using a sniper rifle and getting a kill count as a long Distance medal/kill i don't think so.
Think how many years that would take
4:08 how will that get you banned?
Don’t judge me, I own an original Xbox, I’ve owned Reach (on the family’s Xbox 360 which is sold) I’ve played Halo 3, again on the 360, but I’ve never played Guardians, so I wouldn’t know, I’ve also played O.D.S.T. on the 360
Lmao he said Halo 6 will be out five years from then its been almost 5 and nothing
you need at least 4 members for your spartan company to be active
You have to do all this just to get the armor or is there another way
so you can't just open a req pack and get this?
Fuck Achilles. No one would care anyways. Not a lot of people look at Spartan armors since they're so busy shooting at shit. This is the reason why I wished Halo 5 had the reach design on pre game lobby so you can easily see their accomplishments.
Is there any Spartan companies close to Achilles I play everyday and will put the work in to get it
Can we complete the commendation in Custom Games! Like the commendation which says to snipe the driver out of the vehicle! Can we complete that in Custom Games?
Now would doing this solo get you to Max rank in Halo 5?
Is there any company that hasn’t unlocked Achilles yet...it’s my favorite set in the game. I’m looking for a company that’s kinda laid back
yeah me too im a good player and i spend a decent amount of time on halo but i dont play 12 hours plus and i was wondering u wanna make a spartan company lol or something where i can get the armor without getting backstabbed or kicked lol
I don’t see y not...I don’t know how to start one. Would u mind starting it and I join? I have a person or two that would be interested in joining too
Gavin Thompson you gotta go to halo waypoint and ill set it up, i mainly play infection and u need four people to make a company active
Gavin Thompson whats ur gamertag, and im mainly set on achilles but do u think if u make a custom game and farm one of ur friends for certain achievements u need for achilles u could achieve achilles or no?
Would it be alright if I start it now that I know
So, in theory. You could be brand new to the game, join a company that has already done all of these things. And get the armour?
Good thing I already have the helmet
:p
spatialcomic11
wait so does this work in custom games? or do you have to do this in multiplayer
This was absolutely hilarious!!!!
luckily I'm not a normal human, and I have no life
Do Spartan kills count in forge?
Do people sill play
Yes
Years later and I still need to join a company and need help getting everything
I created a company, join us, the name is "GoldenArmy"
Is it possible for me to simply join a Spartan company that already has this and get it free?
Can warzone make you a better arena player and if it can how?
Is it wrong that I find this fun and the only reason I would play halo 5 if I could solo this?
In my spartan company I pretty much solo’d the vehicle commendations 😂
How the did you get the Armor?
do they all have to be arena or warzone
To be honest, I earned the Achillies helmet and after like a week's worth of wearing, it just felt not as good as wearing helioskrill
8:50 beep beep. BTW I think I could, but my company is almost never on. But I'm one of those "plays, eats, sleeps, game" kind of guys, so I think I could. Plus perfectionists like me would find this fun.
I'm probably going to get called stupid for this or something of the sort, and it's probably a stupid idea, but, I wish someone would make a petition to get more assassinations created in Halo 5. Like, an assload more. Lol, I love those assassinations.
*is ninja and has no other skill*
No, I'm kidding. (Hopefully.) But, I would really love to see more and more assassinations of every rarity come out frequently. Not necessarily an update for ninjas (I feel like that would cause controversy sadly) but for stealthy Spartans or something of the sort (probably the same thing). Although I'm doubtful anyone will listen and/or get this made and win. :/
Rip to the people who want this in 2024
