cR is the standard UNSC currency, right? So your Spartan is pretty much earning money to buy his ranks.
Not really. The credits you earn in game simply allow you to buy new armour. You only need to earn a certain amount of credits to rank up, but these credits have no effect on your rank since you don’t purchase rank. What you’re basically saying is that actual real life soldier in the army also purchases his ranks with the money he earns for being enlisted.
I know what you mean, but this is meant to be sarcastic, and also, now I feel like I’m… you know what? Screw this, I’m just gonna post this because of post count.
I guess you’re kinda buying your rank, but at the same time you’re earning it.
