Subject: How long would it take me to get to Strike Commander?

I rule the midnight air, the destroyer, die by my hand, I am Creeping Death.

With me playing once or twice a week, about 1 or 2 hours?

Any shortcuts? any recommended playlists?

Double exp or playlists that are solo so you don't have to depend on your team.

You need 1800exp. You have 369.

1800-369=1431 exp.

1431*10 min per game = 14310 min

14310min/60 min an hour = 238.5 hours.

238.5 hours/ approx. 4 hours of play time per week = about 60 weeks.

That is if you win EVERY game.

double exp means it will take you about 30 weeks if you win every game.

Well, if you knew how to properly play rocket race with 6 guests in your party, I imagine you could get a strike commander in a short period of time.

I would not advocate for anything like that though.

Playing Halo 2 Vista and Halo 3 until Halo 5 comes out.

OP, there was really no need to make a separate thread.

In terms of time needed-

I averaged your last 20 game times (I ignored that 5 second Team Duals) and got 454 sec/game. That's about 7.5 minutes. Add a bit for post game, matching, etc, and we're up to 10 minutes per game (probably a low estimate.) Therefore, in order to PLAY 1431 games, it would take you at least 908,000 seconds.

However, you currently have 369 EXP for 608 games, giving you a EXP/games ratio of 0.606. Multiplying through, you're going to need more like 1,496,000 seconds to WIN 1431 games, which is about 415.5 hours.

At 2 hours/week, that's 207 weeks, or 4 years. Cut that in half if every game is double EXP, but that's not realistic.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Double EXP would be your best bet, but it may take quite a while for you to get it.

Double EXP weekends and it should take you about a week or two.

It depends on how often you win.

  • 08.26.2010 1:32 PM PDT

Depends what rank you are at the moment, I got to Colonel in about 1 month, when i was helping my mate rank when he made his account.
