List of Halo 4 commendations

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

The emblem for Halo 4 commendations used in-game and on Halo Waypoint.

There were 121 commendations in Halo 4 prior to their discontinuation with the shutdown of Xbox 360 Halo online services on January 13, 2022.[1][2] Following that date, players can still view their commendation progress, but cannot progress them.

These commendations were primarily advanced through playing War Games and Spartan Ops; only nine commendations could be completed in the campaign. Commendations are organized into five categories: Weapons, Enemies, Vehicles, Player, and Game Types.

There are seven tiers of commendations: Novice, Qualified, Proficient, Adept, Expert, Distinguished, and Master. Not all commendations utilize all seven tiers- the majority contain only five.

Unlike Halo: Reach, Halo 4 commendations could be advanced while playing on Easy.

Levels[edit]

Upon completing a tier, players were awarded bonus XP. The amount of XP varied from tier to tier and commendation to commendation, ranging from 250-10000XP.

  1. Novice: rewards average 250XP
  2. Qualified: rewards average 500XP (not included if there are fewer than 7 tiers)
  3. Proficient: rewards average 500-750XP
  4. Adept: rewards average 750-1000XP
  5. Expert: rewards average 1000-2500XP
  6. Distinguished: 2500-5000XP (not included if there are fewer than 6 tiers)
  7. Master: 2000-10000XP
