The 200k credit limit in Reach is in my opinion a great way to limit my play time in a day. Play enough good games of griffball in a day at a high enough rank and before you know it, youve reached your credit limit for the day. Granted i understand that this limit is placed to negate the oh so infamous farmers and game boosters.
My question to the community is, Halo 4 is just a few months away and some of us are so close to inheriter we can almost see the Haunted, so should the credited limit be lifted so we can squeeze just a little bit more out in a day? Believe me, i understand the reason behind the limit.
I’d like to see it stay where it is, at least until a few weeks/months until after the release of Halo 4. By that point, I wouldn’t care too much about the credit cap.
i would love to hit inheritor before halo 4 comes out if i hit the credit cap every day i would be inheritor about a week before it comes out. If the credit cap was lifted i could easily get it sooner so that would be awesome.
I don’t think I get anywhere near the credit limit on a daily basis. I hate Reach too much to play it that long. I basically limit my daily dose of the game by the daily challenges. Once I’m done all four, I’m off. Then of course on weekends I usually push to finish my weekly. But I’m not going for it this week.
I thin kthe credit cap should be lifted, at the least lifted after halo 4 comes out. by then hardly anyone will be playing halo reach. long story short, everyone else that stays should suffer because of a few credit farmers. let everyone enjoy it instead of holding them back. because if they are ditching reach servers then you, 343i, will be paying for empty lobbies because they dont want to play your game anymore because of the cap. so best recommend removing it so you dont end up paying for empty servers.

That’s a terrible reason. People aren’t going to stop playing Reach because of Halo 4…and 343 doesn’t pay for those, Microsoft does. You think they’re gonna miss the cash when they’re getting millions from Halo 4 and Black Ops 2?

Would take a killing to your K/D tho lol think i shall stick to slayer and btb

Actually its a great reason. ya sorry i didnt say Microsoft but you knew what i meant. MS was getting millions of dollars from Halo Reach Pre-orders but they cut Halo 2 servers. people still played Halo 2 but you know what i mean by nobody. im a realist not an optimist. if there is dead fat MS will cut it off. so if 343 doesnt give it a reason then MS will want more servers cut. the population will drop to ten thousands range just like halo 3 is now. if you at least give it more of a reason to come back it wont be too dead. and you know what i mean be dead or when “no one votes for it” ya there r a few but thats it. im talking dead like as in MOH2010 dead. So when you say “you think MS will miss the cash when they are getting millions from H4 and BO2” i say “yes”. i know from personal experience in the field when it comes to business and if there is a section they are losing money they will make changes. what do you think the august update was for? when the new xbox is announced and released in 2013 how long do you think the xbox 360 online play will last before they cut those servers all together? Ya thought so. but anyways removign the credit cap and giving us cR multipliers will increase population by a good amount. if you read my thread i believe we can get 500,000 players back on Halo Reach for maybe a month before halo 4 releases.

The only reason the Halo 2 servers were taken down was because the old Xbox Live functionality was going away. It wasn’t due to a lack of population. And I don’t think removing the credit cap would keep THAT many people playing Reach.

Thank you. As for you Sgt Fergus, if you even want me to look at that wall of text you should separate it. I’m not reading a block.

Lol are you seriously going to play me that card? they got rid of the old functions because there was no point it was losing money because Microsoft was keeping original live up and no one was using the servers on more of the games so they were going to waste. they thought long and hard about whether they should disconnected and the loss of profit was enough for them to cut it.
Why keep a loose end? i know how Microsoft thinks. its not like they are trying to be bad guys but would you pay for a server that is not being used and simply get rid of it to save money? Yes you would. overall they thought instead of doing a long and tedious process of cutting stuff that they should just discontinue the xbox live original all together. saves money and they can focus on other issues.
And yes if you read my post about the last month bonus you would see it would bring a lot of people back. it worked for gears of war so clearly we know it works. if you dont know what i’m talking about then go look for it before you respond and read it. you do that and for at least a month you will get a lot of people back for a short bit. if you make inheritor actually seem possible to obtain in a month people will comeback just like how people were obtaining wings in gears of war 2 a month before gears of war 3. they population increased drastically.
So yes it would “would keep THAT many people playing Reach” for a month before halo 4 and then when halo 4 is out by removing the credit cap all together you at least give some incentive, plus the other stuff i listed in the thread, to comeback to reach if they get bored of halo 4. and dont say “you wont get bored of halo 4”, because we all know you cant see the future and people said the same thing habout reach so lets be realistic here not optimistic.

Lazy readers are boring on the Reach Forums. do me a favor and instead of being insulting. Open Microsoft Word, copy and paste my text and separate it yourself instead of giving be that smart Yoink! response.
