List of Halo: Reach commendations

Commendation progress.

There are forty-five commendations in Halo: Reach. Players advance commendations by playing in campaign, multiplayer, and (online) Firefight gameplay. Players earn credits as they perform certain actions, many of which are medals in and of themselves. Commendations are also intended to serve as an indication of how a given player tends to operate.

Commendations in Halo: Reach are each represented by an icon plate. These commendations advance through five levels: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Onyx before becoming Maxed Out. Upon advancing a commendation to a new level, players receive bonus credits. There are 16 campaign, 15 Firefight, and 14 multiplayer commendations. Commendations cannot be advanced on the Easy difficulty.

Levels

• Iron rank (1 bar): rewards 100 - 500 cR (Average = 200 cR)

• Bronze rank (2 bars): rewards 200 - 1250 cR (Average = 700 cR)

• Silver rank (3 bars): rewards 400 - 2000 cR (Average = 1000 cR)

• Gold rank (4 bars): rewards 400 - 3000 cR (Average = 2400 cR)

• Onyx rank (black bars): rewards 400 - 3000 cR (Average = 2400 cR)

• Maxed out commendations look the same as Onyx, but with flames if viewed on Bungie.net and Halo Waypoint. There is no cR reward for maxing any commendation.
