Commando harness: Difference between revisions

{{Era|Covenant|HCW}}

The '''Commando harness''' is a [[Sangheili harness|harness]] worn by the [[Covenant]]'s [[Commando Unit]], a special operations formation of the Covenant military.{{Ref/Game|Id=h3description|H3|In-game description}}

===Specifications===

The Commando harness is a lighter and sturdier counterpart to the [[Combat harness|standard-issue combat harness]]. Lightweight construction materials and advanced internal components increase overall performance making the wearer more deadly in combat.{{Ref/Reuse|h3description}}

The shoulder pauldrons for the Commando armor appear to be similar to the [[Combat harness|combat harness]] model, but more smooth and curved. The thoracic cage has a line of separation in the center, with a small, silver, half oval-shaped block protruding in the center, and is streamlined for greater maneuverability in close environments.{{Ref/Reuse|h3description}}

The shoulder pauldrons were originally meant to be unlocked by earning the [[Killing Frenzy (Achievement)|Killing Frenzy]] achievement. However, the unlock condition ID for the shoulder pauldrons was entered in the code as <code>_achievement_killing_frenzy</code>, when the actual ID for the achievement was <code>_achievement_kill_frenzy</code>. As a result, unlocking the Killing Frenzy achievement would not cause the pauldrons to unlock, because the pauldrons were keyed to unlock on a different, non-existent achievement.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=Zedd|qEr_AolggOQ|Lord Zedd|Halo 3 Bug - Elite Commando Shoulders Explained}} [[Bungie]] could not fix this mistake through an update, because it would have required players to re-download every multiplayer map, and the main menu's map file, which would total at approximately 1.11GB in size. An update of this size would not have been allowed at the time, because updates were limited to 4MB at maximum.{{Ref/Reuse|Zedd}} Instead, the shoulder pauldrons were made available to all players by default in a later update to the game.{{Ref/Site|Id=Title Update|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13233|SiteName=Bungie.net|PageName=Bungie Weekly Update: 02/08/08|Quote=The longstanding “Elite Commando Shoulders aren’t unlocking with the achievement” bug is being resolved in the auto update. The shoulders weren’t unlocking when the Steppin’ Razor achievement was acquired. In the post-auto update era, the Commando shoulders will be unlocked for everyone, regardless of the status of the corresponding achievement.}}
