keep it up! We don’t all have the time to play 50 games or even 15 games a day. Dailys should continue to net 10-20K, and weeklys 25-50K or more. We shouldn’t have to play 1500 hours to reach top rank. Good job 343 keep it up!
A rank that isn’t skill-based in any way shouldn’t be viewed as important, especially if you don’t have time to waste.
No…all that time i put into getting where I am… is going to be wasted…because all you have to do is complete easy challanges.
Then again, Its not really skill based. Its time based. So i dont really care. But its just stupid.

What’s really stupid is that the challenges only give 2-5k cR. Then again, the whole system is stupid.

Well I can’t even look up your rank because you haven’t played Reach on this tag. And I know the rank means nothing, I just want to take some screenshots with the haunted helmet, lol!
Have 343 updated the credits? And if so why haven’t they mentioned it on an update/thread?
I think it’s great to increase the credits provided, seeing as the time spent trying to reach ranks is very much high -_-(Hero Rank)
They’re just trying to bring players back to the game. If you haven’t noticed the population has taken a nose dive (about a third of the player base has left) since GOW3 came out.
I haven’t noticed any difference except for the challenges lately which have all been worth trying to get, especially todays which were very rewarding.
See people exactly like you, are the people who destroy games. Your saying by raising the credits earned will make everyone happy? (not really a word by word ,but more of an implementation )No, all my time put into this game will show into my Rank/kD/commendation. By doing such high credits your basically saying (Blam) you. What Halo is about, is using your time and effort for something you enjoy and love, not let’s get “cheat codes” and pass all the dedicated players and make them waste their time. You don’t think glitches and easter eggs are given, no, they are discovered on those who seek’em.

Aye but is it wasted time if it’s time well spent? Food for thought.
Not that disagree with the notion. Rank should be based upon how good you play, not how much time you spent playing. However, with Reach’s ranking system it becomes hard to tell who’s good and who’s bad unless it’s Win/Loss or Arena rank (K/D can be boosted easily via Griffball and Living Dead).
OT: I noticed the cR rewards have been raised. That’s a good thing but as a trade off, the server quality has gone down since the transition.
I just hope we don’t ever see that Flat Tire challenge EVER again. Time consuming and not even worth the trouble.

Rating the population the FIRST DAY after a rival game came out will not bring accurate results. The reason 1/3 of the Halo player base will be playing Gears 3 for the next 2-3 weeks is because it’s brand new and they just got it. After the first month or so we will be back up to 90% of Reach’s average population.
343 knows for a fact there is no point in trying to pry players from a brand new game, that’s not their intention.

I want to see 343 eliminate the credit system and disable the armory. Because at least half the people that defend Reach will suddenly turn into even bigger ‘haters’ than they accuse the current ‘haters’ of being, without gameplay ever being touched. And I want cheap laughs.

Oh I know it’ll never happen. But it’s fun to dream.
I do like the credit system. It’s a nice incentive to keep playing…but when it takes a full year to get 1/4 of the way up the credit ranking scale, (Mythic, 27,000 kills in multiplayer, total playtime 24 D 20 H), plus only about 6 ranks left measuring up to the last 15 mil credits, last couple of ranks are 3.5 mil each to rank up…that’s a bit much.
IMHO, the rank and credit systems should have been separate, and everything unlocked, even Haunted, by playing casually (by casually I mean about 10,000 to 20, 000 Cr a day) in a year.
I’m happy too.

Nope… Reach’s population will drop severely.
October has BF3 and then November has MW3. Not to mention a few AAA single player titles.
HCEA will not be able to make as big as an impact as many of you believe.

I respectfully disagree…Sooner or later most of the gamers will return to Halo because it has a lot to offer…more than other games. I always play different games because they are new…but sooner or later i get bored. Halo is the only one that never gets me bored! And so it is for the most Halo gamers.
Not as big as an impact to bring in new people, but the people currently playing will be happy.
