It sure is satisfying leveling those REQ commendations, as it gives another measure of progress of your career as a Spartan, and gives more REQ packs.
However, once you reach the maximum for a specific weapon/vehicle/mode/combat prowess/etc… You can’t get REQs anymore from that specific element of progression.
I suggest that once you reach the max for a commendation, a prestige mode activates for it, allowing you to keep infinitely progressing with it. For example, for the Battle Rifle, the prestige commendation would be reset to 50. For each 50 kills, you’ll get a level 3/5 commendation REQ pack. It’s not much, but it’s nice, and keeps motivated you to kill stuff with everything. An additional option would be to add a level 3/5 XP bonus in addition to the REQ pack. But that’s not obligatory for the concept to work.
What do you think of this idea?
