We've seen other systems come and go where rampant abuse of progression systems has devalued the online ecosystem and the Online Credit Limit is just one of many countermeasures against these activities.


Such as? Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is probably the closest analogue to Halo Reach's "player incentive system" and it was easily able to maintain a healthy community of well meaning players without resorting to daily credit/exp caps, credit/exp neutering at higher commendations, or whatever else you guys have up your sleeves because unlike Halo Reach there was little, if any, motivation to try to go outside the system to earn all the cool ranks and armor.

Why? Because the -blam!- game gave you a decent amount in the first place. If you hold back on the credits and ranking to the protracted crawl that any player trying to get to captain is very familiar with, you create an environment wherein cheating the system, despite it's risks, offers sufficient returns to justify it because "the normal course of gameplay" doesn't satisfy the needs and wants of the player. This is the problem Rainbow Six Vegas 1 had and why the system was rebalanced to speed, not slow, player ranking.

Actually playing your favorite gametype or checkpoint in Reach isn't going to get you banned, but it may get you to the cap faster.

Thanks,

I can't change my opinion, but I can change yours. My goal with an argument, is to make you change yours, not mine - I want to make you think.

Hello friends,

The Online Credit Limit is a daily cap on Credit earn - it does reset so come tomorrow you can continue your earnapalooza.

Well, there's your solution.

this is a horrible failure for this game... Im sorry i have a lot of free time and i play the game a lot, im pissed not only because i wont be able to play tomorrow, but if i had wanted to stay up longer i wouldnt be able to play Reach at all, what would the point be if i didnt earn any credits? theyre basically saying go play another game or go outside and do something.


Whatever happened to playing video games for fun? And to think the credit system is new. So why was anyone playing Halo:CE/2/3/ODST?

Hey guess what guys i did the math, with the lvl cap of 60,000, it would take 2739 of straight days to achieve 1 million credits, now tell me that's not over priced??

Why the hell do people keep necrobumping this thread?

Amen. i hit cap today, wasted all 56,780 credits on some new helmets and i'm now at 378 credits. :( Oh well, there's always tomorrow! :)

  • 10.09.2010 10:37 AM PDT

Holy -blam!-! Looks like i'm not getting to 1 mil. any time soon!

  • 10.09.2010 10:38 AM PDT

I do not know. People should really stop adding to this thread.

  • 10.09.2010 10:47 AM PDT

its just for a day i think the limit in a day for earning credits is like 30,000

  • 10.09.2010 10:49 AM PDT

cred cap is 60k according to ferrex. I dont remember where i saw the post so dont ask. searchbar it.

Anyway I did the mathwork.

on Average you get about 800 cr a game. some times higher some times lower. Thats without challanges and commidations being reached.

So we take 60k and divide by 800 = 75. so 75 games per day to reach limit. now unless your a god of halo a usual game lasts about 10 minutes. My best time was 7 but its usualy around 10-12.

so thats 750 minutes to reach cr cap.

break that down by 60 for hours and thats 12.5 HOURS of strait gameplay to reach cr cap.

So if anyone reaches the cr limit is well...you figure that one out.

You're forgetting the possible 8-10k or so from challenges. Yesterdays challenges/weekly added together were around 8k worth. Granted the dailies won't provide that much all the time, but it takes a decent chunk out of it.

Quoted for emphasis, it just simply isn't "fun" to rank up at a snails pace. Isn't that what a game is supposed to be about?

im afraid im gonna have to confiscate your testicles.

What are you, the Cyber police? lol.

Is there any way to up the difficulty of gruntpocalypse so you can get more credits? I usually end up getting only 800 or 900 each round. :(

I like.
They should also drop the credits earned in firefight and campaign so they can give Lt.'s like myself more recognition in getting such a high rank with just Grinding on real people's brains spilling out with my 5 shot magnum skills and watching them rage quit in team slayer and invasion. Lmao

Giving commendations in campaign and firefight was a fail, and it is an easy way for the kids to fly up in ranks to be next to me and still be bad at the game, then give me a horrible name. Just like COD and the 10th prestige lobbies.


But you have to remember that different people play the game differently. You like multiplayer. I prefer to play campaign more cuz I hate all the annoying brats yelling in my ear and cuz, well, it's a good campaign. Should I be neglected and denied the same priveleges as you because I abstain from playing mm every time I put the disk in?
