Why isn't Winning a multiplayer commendation?

Games Other Halo

I know that Bungie developed the retail game and 343 Industries now supports it, but shouldn’t there be a commendation for winning in Multiplayer?

It’s simple - Win a game in Multiplayer matchmaking. Maxed Onyx could be 5000 wins. Commendations motivate people to play in certain ways, it would just make sense to even have a small incentive to win.

Thoughts?

I highly doubt it’s possible to add commendations but it could have been any multitude of reasons why it wasn’t put in to begin with

This is one of the most brilliant and original suggestions for Reach that I have ever heard. I can’t think of one reason why a Winning Commendation wasn’t there to begin with…

It’s not there because that would have gone against Bungies Reach philosophy of removing any and all incentive to win.

Sincerely I think that 5000 for max is much enough, I think 4000 for onyx and 8000 for max would be better, btw u re not happy with all those commendations?? I have 95% and I’ve played for a very long long time

They keep the reward for winning small for a reason - to install a sense of sportsmanship

its the taking part and having fun that counts, that’s why you get more credits for taking part and then a small winning bonus.

Increasing the reward for winning (such as adding commendations) would increase a persons desire to play in an unfair manner or even cheat. It would have a negative impact on the community and take the fun out of loosing lol.

Sounds like a good idea. I don’t think 343 would do it though, Halo 4 being so close to ship.
