Commendations

Commendations are awards given to players to recognize excellence in a certain field. In Halo: Reach, during campaign, multiplayer, and firefight gameplay, commendations are earned by performing certain feats. Players earn credits as they perform these actions, many of which are Medals in, and of themselves. Additional credits are earned upon reaching commendation milestones. For example, performing a certain number of assists in campaign, a player can earn the commendation, Support Role.

Commendations are intended to also serve as an indication of how a given player tends to play Halo: Reach.
