Spartan Rank 152 is mine

With 50,003,114 XP, I have reached SR 152.

I want to thank all of my friends who played with me along the way and helped me grind this mountain of XP to become only the 209th person to reach SR 152.

…But the journey is far from over. Let’s finish this fight.

Well done, my friend. SR 152 isn’t easy to get.

Just wondering, how you know you’re the 209th person to get to 152? It would be interesting to see how many people made it there before me by the time I get that rank.

And the 209th Halo Golden Award goes to…

I got it 6th august 2016 but the guy who got it first cheated so basically I was 5th.

Awesome, nice work!!
Do you have some tips for those of us still grinding it out?

Every time I think about just grinding to get it over with in maybe 4-5 months, I think about how just playing Firefight would drive me crazy so it’s the slow grind for me.

My friend “the Tangybeef” helped me run the math based on HaloTracker’s XP listings. At the time of my achievement, there were 211 SR 152s listed, but there’s a known glitch where if someone changes their username, their old username “ghosts” at whatever XP they were when they changed it. There are two “ghosts” at the SR 152 level, which puts me at 211 - 2 = 209.

I couldn’t do a lot of that Infection. I get too tilted after several games. Only on double XP could I pull that.

Have a night shift job. :-p It also doesn’t hurt liking Firefight.

If you can’t do Infection, Firefight is the way to go. Mostly Heroic Firefight with some Legendary Firefight splashed in when you have some experienced friends with you. Obviously, WZ Gambit: AI Kills, WZ XP Legendary, and WZ Gambit: Medal Count are the best boosts. After that, focus on the WZ XP Rares and WZ Mission Victories; they give 4500 XP each and WZ Mission Victory counts as long as you win one round in Firefight. If you run out of good WZ XP boosts, grab a friend and use Gambit: Assist. They also pay out 4500 XP for the top 2 people for Assists. Just jump into a hog with them and drive them around in the early few rounds. I plan on doing a small Firefight guide in the near future to help get through rounds quicker and successfully, as well as how to get that Grunt Goblin commendation.

Finally, when you play 12v12 Warzone, I recommend WZ XP Jackpot boosts. I’ve noticed that the longer the match tends to go, the higher the Jackpots tend to payout, even if they’re on the lower end.

You’re right not to play anything you don’t enjoy just for XP. We have two 152’s in my company and all of us play simply cause we enjoy the game.

To the OP, thanks for letting us know how many 152’s there are. We’ve debated that ourselves.

Congratulations.

Congrats! I’m at 150 now, and I highly doubt I’ll make it to 151 before Halo 6 comes out.

How did you find the drive for it? I’m at 140ish and I can’t bring myself to do it

Awesome, congrats! I’ve still got a long ways to go, only at 148 XD

Rank has never been a big deal for me (totally fine with others thinking it is for them though), I remember some scrubs way back in Reach going on about how they’re the top rank so they’re the masters or whatever, but a higher rank generally means they have more time to spend on the game, I take it as most people who are ranked high up are kids who have plenty of Holidays and time after school to get that far. Although a friend of mine has a recorded 9 days of game time and is only at rank 130 or something, he’s rarely on and lives in the same time zone as me so I have no idea how he managed to get that far ahead. 9 days was the time it took me to 100% skyrim with 4 different characters each at around level 80. Crunching those numbers make me cringe.

That is most excellent, congratulations. I wonder what the highest rank achievable is for Halo 5. Can’t even find that out for some reason. I am creeping along at 145. LOL

The highest rank possible is 152.
