So, I dunno if this has been mentioned before, or if this is by design, but it seems there is an issue with commendation registration if you spartan charge with the sword. To be clear, I’m not necessarily expecting it to count for the spartan charge commendation, as that would be overpowered since its a one shot kill with the sword, but it currently doesn’t register anything. No sword kill, no spartan charge kill, nada. I played a game recently where I killed two people by spartan charging while holding sword and a third with a normal spartan charge (no sword). At the end of the game I noticed I had gained 1 count towards my spartan charge commendation, but nothing towards sword commendation. Curious, I checked my commendations to see if I had finished sword without realizing it, but I hadn’t. I decided to look up the game stats on waypoint, and when I expanded my name in the game stats It showed me as 12-6 (correct) but then when it lists my kills by weapon, it only listed 10 of them, completing ignoring the two kills I had with sword + spartan charge.
Like I said, I dunno if this is intentional or some kind of bug, but it’s as if the game doesn’t register the kill at all from a tracking perspective. In game it shows like it’s a sword kill, but aside from that it doesn’t track in any way I can tell.
