Looking at the fact that credits in the bp is enough to buy a bp is kinda sad. There really needs to be ways to earn 10, 15, 25 and 50 credit intervals…
And 50 can even be a crazy feat. Finished the weekly challenge? Here’s another one. Get 25 double kills in team slayer : 50 creds.
Weekly rates could go as such.
Win 25 matches: 10 creds
Win 50 tactical slayer matches: 15 creds
Complete 50 BTB matches: 25 creds
Complete all weekly challenges + bonus weekly 50 creds: completing all challenges in a week would only garnish :90 credits.
Is this the best system? No not really. But I’m sure we can think of one.

I’d take credits for finishing the weekly. I’d rather pick a reward in the shop vs another visor or nameplate background.

Honestly it’s make the shop more viable. How’s that for killing two birds one stone? All armor is earnable… If you work hard enough for it? Don’t think you can complete all credit challenges? Man it’s going to suck with a low earn rate but it WILL BE YOURS ONE DAY.
ORRRRRRER(this was a typo but I’m leaving it because “orer” sounds funny hehe)
You could buy it for convince sake… Hey… Didn’t another halo game have something similar? REACH.
Honestly I feel like a good mix of Fracture BP and Cred armor (you can earn through a monstrously grinding away)
Would be perfectly fine. Still have to get a slot for custom coatings so we can buy textures and patterns ourselves

Honestly those are probably the most reasonable rates I’ve seen suggested by far for earning credits.

One more step further could be like. Complete all cred challenges for the ultimate challenge. Win 150 matches: 75 credits (doesn’t start counting till all challenges are complete obviously)

I mean… Honestly, think of it as a discount on the next Battle Pass, all of which come with a ton of customization options.
Like we’re not about to assert the BP is a bad deal right? It always comes with an armor core and armor for two different armor cores. So far, the BP’s armor and MK VII armor is always guaranteed.
That’s not even counting free event content.
ALL of that is separate from the store and either free or 10 bucks. You know what someone who’s spent exactly 20 bucks can get?
TONS of options for five armor cores.
Is it everything we want? No, the restrictions are not good. But let’s not pretend the Battle Pass isn’t a totally insane value.

I’m not sure that there is truly a “best system”, but earning credits based off performance is a catch 22 because rewarding players that win adds takes away from the social aspect. Now, completing matches of a specific type to earn these credits I really like and could see that working.

you paid nothing for a game that will receive updates, new maps, new modes for the next 10 years for free and you also expect to receive new cosmetics without spending a dime? what next? you wanna get paid to play the game?
this game will never have earnable credits like halo reach, you want cosmetics you gotta pay.

Yes plus let those who bought the campaign earn credits so that it doesn’t feel like your wasting more money. I don’t support the unhealthy monetization of showing of your money for armor.

Battle pass is a good value in comparison to the awful value of everything else.

They could also add rewards depending on what your highest rank is at the end of the season. like placing bronze give 100cr, silver 200cr, gold 300cr, platinum 400cr, diamond 500 cr, maybe split onyx into like 3 reward tiers like 600cr, 700cr, 800cr.

It’s ten bucks man I pay for more when I replace razor blades.
the battle pass definitely offers more per dollar than those, hate to say it.
EDIT: Actually hold on, I switched up from five bladed to a single bladed safety recently and it’s a lot cheaper, but compared to my last kit, yeah, BP is def better.
I think getting credits for every match you win would be good as well 10CR for every win and 5CR for losing. That way players who don’t do challenges will have some of earning credits.
Not a soul asked for them to implement any of these systems nor did anyone ask for it to be f2p. 343 and Microsoft saw the fortnite craze and realized that they had an opportunity to create a cash cow that they could milk for the next decade. The old $60 (70 if you wanna keep with inflation) entry cost should have been the route, along with $20-$40 dlcs every 3-6 months or so that include that seasons battle pass and allows you to work through the levels to unlock all content and armors for said dlc. You know. The way halo pretty much was until the atrocity that was 5. Before the money grubbing, piece meal systems of modern day micro transactions where they charge you $5-10 for a shoulder pad made by some poor outsourced temp that was laid off 2 years ago. 343 really fumbled big time with this title and it’s heart breaking to see. Frustrating to keep hearing the 10 years of content talking point because it is all content that should have been in the game on day one or shortly after launch. That phrase from them is not something to write home about when you step back and look at the current content available 8 months in to launch and what a disaster a large chunk of the core game still is. I will still flight it to see what gets added but as for the core game itself I would consider jumping back on if and when split screen shows up so I could play couch co-op with my kid but knowing 343 I expect that sometime in the next 5 years if at all. Very telling that co-op flighting is being talked about now but not a word has been said about split screen. Sort of how Bonnie Ross stated all titles going forward would have it and MCC pc still lacks it 3 years later, as well as all versions of infinite. Tired of being lied to.
yeah technically even the credits you get from the season 2 battle pass will always be the same credits you PAID FOR, to get the season two battle pass. so yay you earning your credits back, but you already paid for them. lovely.

Going to stand firm. The BP is a good value in comparison to the horrid value of the store. Also, I get the aspect of social
But there are playlists dedicated to fun rather then competition. Halo has become all about competition and making money. Wanna get all the things? Be the best you can be and surpass your limits. Just wanna have fun and earn at a slower rate? Complete completion credits.
I’m a social player, I’m 28 with a full job and LIFE. DGMW I can still go 28 /7 but even I have to admit that i just don’t have the game time like I use to. A way to reward players for hard dedication and wins is NOT uncommon in games. And like many things in halo, was another staple of our mp.
Commendations granted rewards, feats granted armor, so why can’t now under all of this can we not earn rewards for our dedication?
While I don’t believe there should be any form of microtransactions in a Halo game, especially considering what it has done to the IP.
As a quick and dirty solution to the problem 343 created, I’ve always advocated for 5-10 credits per match based on match performance. It’s low enough where they’d likely make more money selling credits in small qualities but high enough where dedicated players would feel like their time spent playing actually earns them something (the very least being a discount on an overpriced bundle).
All in all, people can grind away for credits - some will-, but most people will play the way they normally do. It would reduce the negative stigma associated with using items from the store, reward players and give people comfort to shell out a dollar or two for credits if they’re only short a little. It’d be a way for 343i to say to the community “Hey, we see you, and we appreciate you sticking with us”. This would 1, buy them goodwill with the people who actually care about/play the game, 2 make them more money at a sustainable pace.
If only they’d do something that would receive near 100% positive feedback… 
and wait before someone says it, if this were to happen… yes, we would likely need a report button (we’ve already need this).
This. This is exactly what I think. The Fortnite kids have left and that’s here are us old guard and new players who grew up with siblings playing. These Fortnite warzone players have fully developed games to go play.
Why play halo when it doesn’t have modes they enjoy. Let alone all the issues it has. I watched that population come and go and at this point the only people being abused are the fans that have been here the longest. There’s no reason for it and on some way the base needs to be rewarded for busting tail

I don’t know much about the credits but it’s nice that we even get the chance to get free battle passes. I’ve completed both passes already so it’s nice to know that I won’t ever have to buy a battle pass is i save up.
