Commending other players?

[Master Chief]

How are guys finding this feature?

I feel there should be more info or encouragement to players on how to do this?

Looks like it's just an option you quickly have to press once a match is done. I only discovered by chance when hovering my mouse over a players name.

When you are commended, can you see this come up in the exp points screen?

Maybe I suck, but I work hard to coordinate my squad as an SL. No commendation so far. Just thinking it could be due to a lack of awareness?

People mostly do commend for commend with their premade partners, which kinda annoys me, but nothing game breaking. Though i think the game should notify players better that they are able to commend people, maybe even make it Squad only commendation with a "mvp" sort of system like in overwatch and league of legends, to encourage teamwork

In my experience most players will commend their mates or the player with the lowest level in their squad.

sry that you just found out ^^

the post battle screen though, tells you at the top how to recomend your mates (well only one).

yes, a little thing that can help you gain XP, nothing more to it.. maybe the archivement if thats something you like XD
it could be mentioned in upcomming "tutorial" and some streamers/video uploaders, tell you about it too.

sometimes the players remind you about it befor the end, and i agree it should be given to the low levels and also the realy helpfull players.
i mean those that play together and call sightings, help newbees with questions, dont brabble along about "real world" issues... :) not the numbers/stats.

sadly you just have a short time befor all XP gets calculated and applyed. you can see on that screen already if you got a recomendation or in the XP gain screen. each recomendation grants you 10% XP.

depending on how new the players are you had in your squad, they may havent noticed that feature either.
and higher level players (100+) often dont get any recomandation as SL :/ its expected from them to lead the squad so others can play around and learn the game (if they even do) :/

actualy i already seen players get those extra XP, just for taking over the role when a SL leaves, even if they dont have any clue what to do ^^

if you dont fit any of these criterias, then you had simply bad luck and/or unaware squad mates :(
try to remind your mates short befor the round ends.

i give my point mostly to the lowest level (there the 10% are most effective for leveling up - btw a stupid feature that we could remove entirely, the grind for levels i mean XD)

It really doesn't matter what you do, though most people just commend lower level squadmates.

It only has an effect on your rank xp, NOT the xp of each class. So the only thing you get from it is faster helmet unlocks.

Watch a few "How too" videos on how to play the roll, learn how to read the situation and communicate the info to and from the command chat, but Commendations come mostly from your Squad, so keep them up to date, don't ignore their suggestions, especially if they are reading the situation better than you might be, adapt to the situation. Squadleaders are the backbone of HLL so there is great respect for leading. Communicate to your team, motivate them, and let them know when they have being effective. My main advice is learn the Meta gameplay well and focus on the activities you are strong in and build slowly on the weaknesses. Defensive squads are underrated but a team with weak defense lose, learn about Garrison Placement, its critical to keeping your whole team in play, your supply guys is your best Bud. If the Squad know you know what you are doing even if the Team in total don't, they will commend you for your leadership. So learn the Meta, plenty great vids on here and Youtube, its a garrison builder then its an FPS. Commendations mostly head to the low ranks anyway so don't worry about them so much. You will get there.

I literally only commend low levels to give them the XP boost . They need it the most . Shame on anyone who doesn't.

[kafersaft]

Also commend low levels, but with one catch. If I didn't see them actively participating, asking questions, or just generally trying, then I will move on to the next lowest level guy I see that I did notice being active.

why do you frame statements as questions?
