Will this help me get to Inheritor faster? Or are they just trash? How do you even set one up? I have not been on Reach in ages, and I am getting CEA today.

Call me Stu

Don't expect big payouts.

Frank O'Connor said he doesn't think the Halo series needs to be taken in a radical new direction... it just needs to go "deeper"

"Ultimately the core game mechanic and strength of the universe doesn't need to be changed, it just needs to be taken deeper. We want to make Halo games - we don't want to make Call of Duty or Ridge Racer. We want to make Halo games because we understand what's special about Halo."

I made a challenge and only got 66 cR from it.

"So much of what we do is ephemeral and quickly forgotten, even by ourselves, so it's gratifying to have something you have done linger in people's memories." John Williams

Honestly, I doubt they're worth it. Time =/= payout when you compare it to standard matchmaking games.

You can make challenges that are "Kill 500 enemies is Multiplayer today." For only 12,500 credits.

Unless people intentionally boost kills in Grifball, you would literally have to play all day to get that.

I am a Reclaimer. Have not played reach in 15 ish or so days. I could have been really close, but it is too bad Uncharted 3 is so addicting! Going back to Halo today because of CEA. I also am getting Skyrim. I hope to alternate between all 3.

@Nephilim

Payouts on custom challenges are based on degree of difficulty and how much time on them.

For instance, I made a challenge and it was get 1,000 headshots in campaign on Nightfall in 3 hours.

The reward ended up being 10,000 cR. That's 1 game of Firefight practically for us.

If you do an easy challenge like 1 headshot on a grunt in Firefight Matchmaking, the payout is really really low because it's "easy"

You can NOT input your own value, I'm glad 343i did it like this just so people wouldn't be boosting their rank on easy custom made challenges.

So in the end, these things are pretty much worthless to high ranks but gold to the really low ranks.

It is worth it. The payouts are not huge, but everyone seems to be slightly retarded. You can create five challenges, and after you complete one, you can make another. Just make five medium-hard challenges that line up with your play style, and when you complete one, make another.


Also, there is a cR cap. 5,000-10,000 cR max for Campaign and Custom Game challenges, and 30,000 cR for FF-MM and MM. Oh, and of course try to make the challenges as high/hard as possible, but make them easily do-able.

So, just line up your challenges with your gameplay. Last but not least, FF-MM and MM challenges are obviously worth a lot more.

Alternating anything with Skyrim is impossible. Just saying.

When your right, nobody remembers. When your wrong, nobody forgets.

Can someone link the custom challenge page? Or tell me how to find it on 343's site?

I made one for 200 headshots in firefight matcmaking with a time limit of 3 hours for 6395cr. Which coupled with the daily is 9300 credits for 200 headshots in firefight. Easy money.

Not entirely though, if you make them to mirror the daily challenges then you can get both sets of challenges at the same time while boosting the payout.

I hear.... but UC3 is amazing as well.

Interface is a little clunky. I am trying to do a version of the common "Demon" challenge but I want to kill any elite. It will only let me choose one subset of elites, like infantry, etc. How do I exterminate an entire species for points?

  • 11.15.2011 8:47 AM PDT

Send A Friend Request to Schloxictonkey if you need a good teammate and you are good

I hit the credit cap after about 3 hours. It feels kinda crumby watching thousands of credits go out the window, but at least I know i'll be hitting 120000 every day.

Bookmarked! Thank you very much!


BTW, don't forget that you can mirror dailies, you can also stack them.

Take the 200 headshot that was mirrored in an earlier post... now stack a spree challenge, a 200 KILL challenge and anything else that can be earned during your 200 headshot journey...


Grrr still can't create

I have been experimenting with this also, with having a checkpoint at ONI with the designator laser gun with the ability to rack up kills and medals quickly I set the following challenges.

Campaign with Kills set to 1150 with no restrictions should net you 5k, Campaign with Medals set at 800 no restrictions should also net you 5k credits. In a matter of 3-5 mins you can get this challenges done, turn them in and setup 2 more just like it.

Please...stop getting butthurt when I noscope you from the passenger seat of the vehicle I'm riding in :D

And it's people like you who should just learn that it is just a game meant to be fun.

Well since rank only indicates time played and how large your Halo Barbie© wardrobe is...

WHO CARES!
