Why don't we earn REQ points in custom games?

I mean even if we’re talking the average 800 RP payout from Arena games I’d be fine with that. No one’s asking for the 2-3K from Warzone. I mean even Halo: Reach gave you credits from custom games

Or Forge? That was one of the things i liked about Halo 4.

If I’m not mistaken you even earned credits for forge in Reach. What the hell 343?

People could just use it to grind RP points. Not very fair if you can open up a custom game and sitt there afc for an hour and then collect all the points

I didn’t do much forge in Reach but I’d imagine we did get credits for that. It seems like you got credits for everything in Reach, even if you were offline I believe.

True, but it could be a smaller payout than match-made games. I’d much rather have people semi afk grinding in customs or forge than in an arena or warzone I’m trying to win.

Simple. Give the player a max of around 300 rp per custom game or forge session that way its still faster to just play arena or warzone. To reach the max rp earned the game must last around 10 minutes.

I’d say it so people don’t either start a custom game and leave it running all night and the collect the points or if it was a set amount just start and end a near constant stream of custom games to get an infinite supply.

I’m sure 343 is more than capable of implementing something that detects if you’re AFK or not and then just stop generating RP. I mean if you’re already AFK now it tells you on the menu “Halo 5: Guardians - AWOL”.

But i also see your point as well. Then why was it something that was in Reach? For that you used credits to buy armor (cosmetics) what’s the difference with now? I’m sure people AFK farmed that too

Just a put a cap on the amount of points you can receive per game and make it really small so it’s not worth grinding custom games.
