Yeah, my streak is still on. But I'm in the same boat where as soon as it's broken I'll probably start picking and choosing them in future.

Todays challenges just don't seem worth it at all.

They're all super easy except the Sword kills one, which doesn't take terribly long but is just really annoying.

Also only 5,375 cR from Lt. Colonel, fucking FINALLY. Will probably wake up early in the morning and hit it before work maybe. I'm seriously considering taking a break from Reach once I hit it, either by playing a lot less or possibly not at all. My performance has gone to complete shit 90% of the time days in a row now, and it's just frustrating me.

Damn, I decide to watch TV and it looks like half of the crew logged off while I was doing it. :(

this game is so much fucking fun. shame warrant officer is such a slog, though. hit grade 3 today, might be captain by the time i'm 30. working on today's sword challenge right now. the rest were utterly pants

also bungie pro is neat

also when does swat get its own playlist

Tuesday.

Also, agreed regarding Warrant Officer. Just now hit Captain. Finally.

Ahahaahah what

You want to make Hemhorrhage more shitty? Why? They're two days away from removing Scorpions. :(

Alright, I need one of you folks with Pro who has a spare render minute to do this clip of some guy trying to splatter me and failing so it can live on in hilarious eternal glory. I do not understand what he was thinking.

Oh and Daravon, here's that amazing setup we pulled on that one idiot during the start of that 3 Plot match. Why the fuck did he stop and stare at me.

also,
Circle strafing owns
lightning gun
sesame street

number one update I want to see: one flag ctf on paradiso removed from big team battle. every single fucking match I've played has been the most boring stalemate ever. two or three people on the defending team just park mongooses and bubble shields atop the flag while everyone else just blows each other up without consequence. kinda fun, but hella stupid.

also hologram + sword makes people panic so fucking much, it's hilarious

Hit Lt. Colonel; awesome how apparently my Achievements are glitched because on the 360 it says I have 48 out of 49 achievements at 995/1000, but on xbox.com it correctly shows 49/49 1000 (also one of the 360 screens shows 49/49).

Anyway, I'm done with Reach for a while. Now that I have the last achievement, I have no desire to play Matchmaking at all. Playlists mostly suck, BTB and Invasion desperately need more maps, spawns are broken on several maps, I could go on and on.

My guess is he was expecting it to run out. Or maybe he really doesn't know what armor lock looks like. Maybe he was on a tiny SDTV and couldn't make it out and thought it was a shield pop.

Some Goon at SA found this:

First of all I'll give you the total armory prices:
Helmets = 3,107,501 cR
Shoulders = 1,102,500 cR
Chests = 593,550 cR
Wrists = 345,000 cR
Utility = 270,000 cR
Knees = 80,000 cR
Visor Colors = 435,000 cR
Armor Effects = 3,500,000 cR
Firefight Voices = 520,000 cR
Total = 9,953,551 cR

The corresponding rank for this is Eclipse which needs 8,500,000 cR and the next highest is Nova at 11,000,000 cR.

Now, for simplicity sake, we will assume the average player wants to acquire the entire armory for 9,953,551 cR. Let's say the average player also wants to have the entire armory after actively playing for a year every single day. You'll need to earn 27,270 cR per day!

To contrast, I have been aiming for 10,000 a day for five days a week and that's about as much time as I'm even able to devote. It would take me 199 weeks to get it, or 3.8 years! And remember, Bungie held back a substantial part of the armory to unlock in the future! How long will it take then, four years? Five? With Microsoft wanting the Halo dev cycle to be sooner than 3 years how many new Halo games will be out? One? Two?

Now let's break up that 27,270 cR. If you assume the average matchmaking game earns you 500 cR and lasts 10 min, you would have to play 54.5 games or 9 hours per day! Now you can assume challenges will give you about 4,000 cR of that, meaning you'd only need to earn 23,270 cR by yourself, but that still equates to 46.5 games or 7.8 hours! And many challenges may be in campaign which will add more time.

Also if you think about the cR reduction where if you bring your profile online you are capped at 1,000 cR per day if you play offline. I know TONS of people without XBL. Only about 56% of 360 owners have it. And then if you bundle 2 day trials with the game guess what? That other 44% goes online and gets screwed. They are stuck at 1,000 cR per day forever. And how long will it take them to get it all? Oh only 27 years! Most Halo players aren't even that old, me included (although getting close).

Can we get a double Credits weekend already? (I don't quite understand the 1,000 Cr bit he goes into at the end though)

If you're playing offline (Including a Silver subscription) you are limited to earning 1,000 credits a day, presumably to stop offline hacking where Bungie can't keep an eye on what people are doing.

It looks like he's saying people who play offline are capped at 1000 credits per day as opposed to 60k when online?

This is indeed the case. The Bungie forums are full of people who don't have Live subscriptions bitching about people who do have it credit farming.

Thing is though, if people are hacking their 360s offline to get extra credits, who actually cares? Surely it'd make more sense to adjust people's credits when they did go online rather than to limit them in the first place?

Also, I can see Bungie in future putting some harder challenges up for more credits. At the moment they're all basically kill x bad guys in y mode and none have been too challenging for committed players but who's to say they won't start sticking in "Finish the whole campaign solo legendary using only side-arms" for 100,000 odd credits?

That would require removing the daily cap, and secondly that still would not be terribly efficient, considering how long it would take versus a similar amount of cR in something like firefight.

Why can't people just pick a couple of the hats that they like, get those, and not worry about buying the 7+ million cR worth of crap that they won't ever even use? That seems like it would be the most efficient method.

because playing the game isnt whats important, it's the COLLECTINGGGGGGG. lol.

This is pretty goddamn awesome:

It's not like this new thing that you see suddenly makes the helmet you already bought less cool, it just gives you a new goal to reach, which I'm pretty sure is 99% of the reason they set things up that way.
