Commendations in Halo: 4?

Hi community. As you know there are commendation in Halo: Reach. They are like a marker of what you do most in halo, or like badges, but the major problem in reach is that they are so hard to get the highest rank for. Seriously 32,000 Head shots in Campaign? I believe that maybe about 8,000 it the most people are willing to do.

I like the idea of commendations in halo, and getting awarded for them, but I do not think they should be so crazy hard, that people will be careless about them. It will be a good idea if (if they have them in halo 4) that they make them so that they are possible to get. And not that I have to spend 9 days in one part of the game, boosting them to get them.

Another crazy thing is the MM Commendations. They should be good in the long run, but not something crazy high like reach has. You will have to play for YEARS to get them legitly.

What do you think, do you even want them in Halo 4?

I wouldn’t mind them, I guess. Not really an important addition but it could work.

I wouldn’t mind them making a return in Halo 4. If they were to return, I think it would be a cool idea to allow players to present their commendation of choice. It would be a fast and easy way of showing what a players good at doing or likes to do simply by skimming through players in the pre-game lobby.

if anything I really just want to see things done slightly different with commendations if they make it to Halo 4; 1st off, keepthe TrueSkill, experiencing ranking thing as is. However, in order to compensate for the lack of proper “skill” matchmaking as far as rank goes, I feel we’re really owed additional/tacked on commendations for all actions taken on higher/lower ranked players, (including game variant actions taken) and also credits earned bssed on just exactly how much higher/lower you are compared to them. I mean look at it this way, is it really fair, or TrueSkill for that matter, if we’re getting paired with quite a handful of higher ranks who’ve obviously had much more more experience in the game than you? If we really had the skill it takes to be on par with them, then wouldn’t we already be up there with them? Why aren’t we rewarded/credited for something like this? It really wouldn’t be boosting or unbalanced. The 2nd thing I think could possibly be changed, because I honestly don’t see any point in them being separated between campaign, FireFight and MP if you’re simply racking up credits for your time and experience in the game, to simply group commendations together, and be able to earn the same types of commendations reguardless of which mode.

I want Trueskill back period. Credits are the worst thing to come to Halo yet, They have completely killed matchmaking competition.

I wouldn’t mind them as long as there were more types of them and more levels of them. I like things popping up on my screen. It makes me happy.

What keeps people playing is how fun a game is obviously. and getting rewarded all the time is awesome. so i think in Halo 4 there should be alot of commendations. alot!!

Yeah but commendations were good. but maybe instead of credits you earn exp. towards your rank.

in halo 4 i got 2perfections but it did not give me the award for them plez help.

I believe they have to be in slayer gametypes, also there is no medal or aftergame stat, they only exist in Commendation, but you have to been in a slayer gametype, not sure if you had to win or not, it was required to get the medal

> in halo 4 i got 2perfections but it did not give me the award for them plez help.

If you mean medal, there is no perfection medal. Perfections are now commendations.

Also, in the future, please make a new thread. :slight_smile:
