Commendations (Halo 4)

Commendations are awards given to players to recognize excellence in a certain field. In Halo 4 commendations can be earned by performing certain feats in campaign, war games, and spartan ops. Players earn experience as they complete commendations. The commendations are divided into 5 catagories: Weapons, Enemies, Vehicles, Player, and Game Types.

Most commendations have between 5 and 7 levels. Completing each level earns players XP. Points are cumulative, and do not reset to 0 upon completing a level.
