For the past 5 weeks I’ve been diligently working on the Small Arms commendation (Mutliplayer) in Reach. I started off the month of September needing just over 1000 kills with small arms weapons. By Oct 1st I had that down to just a couple hundred.

Today I needed 86. I played a game of Living Dead then jumped in a party with one of my friends and later her brother for some Swat Magnums.

I’m happy to report I hit the goal of ranking that commendation up to GOLD. So now every commendation I have is either Onyx or Gold. I know I won’t be able to rank up any more before Halo 4 comes out, so this is where they will forever remain.

First the percentage DID go up to 97%. Well on Waypoint. Strangely it still shows up as 96% on LIVE.

Now no haters on the 81 BPR. That is artificially low as I played a lot of Griffball games where I was going for kills and lost… (Rolls eyes)

Here next is what I’m proud of in the sense of gaming accomplishment.

Most of those Onyx are MAX as you can tell by the flames on them. So ends my commendation progress in Reach.

Now for my one remaining goal. That is to have 50 million credits in the “bank,” by the time Halo 4 comes out. I’m up to 46.6 million now. (This does not include the close to 10 million already spent on Armory items.)

I should be able to make this goal as well, though New York Comicon will interfere with that for a few days. (I think I can make that sacrifice, LOL.)

You can view my whole service record here.

My two biggest goals in Reach where to make Inheritor, which I did in July of 2011 (yes, last year), as well as get all of the achievements, which I completed as well.

So what goals do you folks have for yourselves in Reach before Halo 4 comes out?
