So i’ve been reading a lot about credit farming and custom challenges and one or two other things to boost your rank. First, why would you do that? Rank does not count for anything in this game. I’m an example of this. I’m a Hero with a K/D in team slayer of 0.96 (mind you i only really started to get better at this recently…honest!) What I’d like to know is what are custom challenges and where/how do you find them or do you set these yourself?
In my opinion:
Rank in Reach is generally dependant on how long you play the game, so the only factor about it that’s important to me is HOW YOU GET THERE.
I completely detest people that have boosted their rank by sitting in FF Arcade all day and doing the 25K Custom Challenge thing because there’s no point to it. If rank doesn’t reflect skill then it’s a matter of how you get there.
To me those people can do what they want, but when I do finally get to Inheritor I’ll feel like I have genuinly achieved something and in my opinion deserve the rank a lot more than FF/CC Boosters (But that’s their choice, so it’s no concern of mine).
I’m just trying to be as good an MP player as possible and always try to work my backside off to help my team win.
When I come across boosted Inheritors I try to let my playing do the talking and I don’t seem MP focused good Inheritors very often so I’ll be proud when I get there. When I get there I’ll wear my Haunted proudly knowing that in my opinion I earned my rank (I know there are Inheritors out there who are much better players than me who ahev never touched Campaign or FF and I take my hat off to them). Regardless I’ll do my best to be the best Inheritor possible

Rank used to show how long you had played the game when the game originally came out, then with Firefight Arcade and more recently, Custom Challenges, it just shows how much you can boost.
I am one of those ‘custom challenge boosters’, but I don’t suck, far from it, I am doing it simply so I am not tempted to come back during Halo 4’s time frame and try to hit Inheritor.
You can create custom challenges here: http://halo.xbox.com/en-US/Career/Challenges.
Keep in mind, they are all site based, the challenges will NOT show up in-game or will it show them being awarded on the pay out screen, they will simply add them when they are done.
i share your sentiments. i know im no demon at the game but i do play team slayer more than anything else now. i used to play swat but that lost its appeal after a while. too much like modern warfare for me now. its slayer all the way now and btb too i suppose!
and also, i have no beef with those that like to boost their credits. its all good and fair game to me. kinda want that bloody haunted helmet tho!!!

I understand how you could feel like you’ve achieved much more by reaching your higher rank via: Matchmaking Slayer and such. However, I would not attack those who play in Firefight the entire time. After all, it could be that they don’t really care much for the slayer modes, and just want to play against the AI with their friends. Now, don’t get me wrong, I know for a fact that it is indeed MUCH more difficult to obtain the ranks by going into matchmade slayer games, but I still feel that you shouldn’t be tearing down the entire community of Firefight fans. Especially those who are how I mentioned earlier, and only jump into matchmaking games because their buddies decided that they wanted to do something different…Now those that mod to get their rankings, those people deserve the anger.
