First of all, The problem. No one cares about the gamerscores and what not. They only care about cR. Think about it, How many times do you see someone playing Classic Fire-fight offline(Meaning not on matchmaking.) Why? Because you get hardly any cR. Same with custom games. See people don’t see a point in stuff with out a reward. (I do not, but most people do.) This is all the stupid currency’s fault. I don’t get it, how based on how much money you have you, “Rank Up” which is limited. Which Then I have “My” solution
Now, The Solution.
I think cR shouldn’t rank you up. I think that it should just buy your armor. So what you do is, you get armor just by your money.
So armor costs normally and stuff.
Also commendations. You need a specific number on your commendations. (If there are there in Halo 4) So let’s say you want the Pilot Helmet. You need 90,000cR for it, but you also need, to kill someone in mid-air (A random commendation I made up) And on that commendation, You need to rank it to a gold, than you can buy the Pilot helmet.
OR!
We have the original Halo 3 style of getting Armor. Getting skulls, getting commendations, and beating this or that on legendary.
That’s my armory solution. Now for my rank solution…
Think about what i’m about to say, er. Type, How long do you play just to increase your rank. How many pointless hours playing the same thing, or “Cheating the credit system.” A lot. Trust me. This solution isn’t as simple, but I wouldn’t say it was complicated, either. I think rank matters only in matchmaking, and for bragging rights. Well, you get these medals I call
True Medals
They look like commendations popping out on the bottom screen, but with this kind of medals

These are “EARNED” by getting, a Killionare, Overkill, Running riot, a killing frenzy with the Magnum, or even getting 40 kills or more in one team SWAT game. There suppose to be hard. There not like challenges every rank you gain you get new ones and you have to stick with them. NO. You have MILLIONS of the True Medals. There are The Mythic True Medals, which are impossible, the Legendary TM’s will be a little easier, Heroic TM’s aren’t too hard, Normal TM’s semi-hard, and Easy TM’s, are plain easy. but you need every single one to reach the highest rank. now when you start as a recruit you need one True medal then when you grade up it increases. But it’s different with Grade 1, grade 2, and so on. Let’s say your a LT. Colonel, First of all, people will worship you. Let’s also say you need 20 true medals, you get twenty, then when you become a grade 1, you need 15 then it decreases by five depending on how many true medals you need so if you need 5 true medals, you’ll need 4 when your grade 1. And when you’re like a general (Probably 60TM) you’ll get like ten off, each grade. Now when you then complete commander after the TM you got, you have to start at 30 TM then the grade will take 5 off, and so on.
An example of a True Medal would be
Legendary True Medal- No More Dead Heroes. |

Win a game of Multiplayer Matchmaking without |
letting any of your teammates die. |

Of course All these True Medals have to be team oriented. Maybe some easy medals can be Lone Wolf.
Q: Well why don’t you just work around the True medals and cheat, on custom games or forge?
A: You can’t Ranking up is impossible to do in a offline lobby. BUT! Your cR that you gain, is slightly decreased… So you can gain armor in custom games. when you’re online let’s say you get 50 cR for one kill. For offline it would be about 5. So you really can’t boost. Also you need commendations.
O.K that’s it. Sorry for the long read, and Drama that I type, but This will straighten things out.
