Subject: So I am a Field Marshall..... Now what?

This should really be titled. Im a General so now what?

But, I am just basing it on the fact that I just hit Field Marshall.

When you hit General rank you have everything unlocked but two things, the Haunted Helmet and the Gungnir CBRN helmet... that's it.

So when you hit the General rank you have 2,000,000cR. In order to unlock the next helmet you have to get another 3,600,000cR for a total of 5,600,000cR. Thats a lot of cR for just one thing, but it gets even worse with the Haunted helmet, another 14,400,000cR from the Mythic rank is needed to get it.

So basically when you look at it when you hit General at 2,000,000cR the next 18,000,000cR you earn only gives you two new things compared to anyone else.

I understand that this is probobly an old topic, but now that I am there I completley understand why the want to play is slowly decreasing.

There should have been:
A) More Armor.
or
B) The same amount of armor, but make it harder with more cR to unlock or make it so you cant unlock things until higher ranks.

Sure you can play for fun, but you want to have exclusive gear or something with the higher ranks to show your skill, an emblem doesnt do much (at least for me).

I know it dosent matter, Bungie cant change anything, and so on, but this is the exact reason why Halo:Reach is dying fast.

Just play the game. Customisation is a bonus.

If you were in such a bad skinner box that your only motivation to play was to unlock armor, you should be happy that you're done with that and can now go do things for fun again.

My opinion? Reach shouldn't even have a cumulative credit system.

Firstly, this belongs in the Reach forums. Secondly, you should have been playing to win or something similar, not grinding for virtual cash.

Now you can go back to the main point of playing games, which is to improve your in game skill and have fun.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I saw this in the Reach forum. Deja vu...

Go for Inheritor, simple as that....yet so complicated.

So... The half of the entire point of playing games is to get better at them? I can understand having fun, but playing a game to get better at it seems rather boring.

I'm at General, and I have no incentive to play other than getting on and playing the occasional matchmaking game with friends, and even that is starting to lose its appeal.

Your next step, get to Hero.

OR:: Play the game to enjoy it, for fun (dare I say this is important these days).

First off dont be a whiny -blam!-. I mean i would give my right leg to be your rank. Im a wimpy little sergent with no easy access to LIVE. And plus Halo reach has many features that allow players to continue playing for reasons other than being the best at everything
