Subject: Let's talk Custom Challenges

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

I recently discovered them, due to getting back into Reach after hating/disowning it for ~3-4 months. I was wondering what everyone thinks about them, whether they were a good idea by 343, or something you disagree with. Do you "boost" through them, or just use them to give yourself extra cR via your normal gameplay? What kind of challenge would you normally set?

So, what do you think?

I think they were a way to get people to play more, but because they nerfed the cR give out most people have given up on them since they can't exploit it anymore.

I only use custom challenges now. Only 500,000 cR to go to Inheritor so 5 days. I will get there without even touching matchmaking lol. I get 100,000 cR a day with only like an hours worth of work on Reach so I love them.

That's a pretty big payout, for a lot less work. What kind of chalenges are you doing to get that much?

i have learned its better to be nice, than not to be.

Anytime you want to figure it out look at the players game history, OP.
Looks like a 9000 campaign kills in a few hours time challenge is being used.

I employ the 1000/1000 kills and medals in 4 hours. The payout is only 20k and i only do it once a day. Two challenges, 20k, 30 days, 600,000 profit by playing what i was already.

I don't understand oral at all. I will never do that it is so nasty! And doing things in woods sounds scary.

I still don't understand how to do these.

When the game is over, the king and pawn go into the same box

So I take it they actually work? I know there were some issues when it first came out.

  • 11.30.2011 4:58 AM PDT

It still works, Just that you gotta increase the medals and kills now. I remember it was only 250 kills and 200 medals for campaign only to get 10,000 now its over 600 each which sucks lol

:P

Today is a good day to be a Spartan

The biggest payout on custom challenges is now through FF Doubles.

Use the Guest controller method, Holdout works best, and set up Custom for kills and medals.

When you get banned for 2 weeks don't make a thread asking why you got banned.

tsujen, I have played with this guy, and he showed what he was talking about. Both in Arcade and 2X Firefight.

His guest is actually playing, FRG/Needler loadout, and taping down the trigger w/ the Needler, for Arcade, and AR for 2X. The guest gets about 30-60 kills all on its own, and he racks up kills and medals and scores big with the Cr payout and Custom Challenges.

I did this for a few days and went from Field Marshall to Hero in less than 3 days, and now just about Legend.

It's NOT bannable, and completely legit playing, and is a great way to work those Commendations as well, particularly Backup/Assist. I am averaging a Sidekick and/or Second Gunman each and every game, as I feel this is one of the harder Commendations to Onyx.

Try it out, and work it a little and you'll see what we are talking about.

I see you two play often, but I was thinking more of the games yesterday when he AFKed in 3 of them with you. I'm sure he does the guest thing "legit" but those 3 games might trigger the banhammer.

Says the already made rank of Inheritor.

Some of us have lives and now have a way to make it there easier than you did...sorry about it, but blame 343i for setting the whole thing up, and the players taking advantage of what they are now offering us, to get there faster and EASIER than you and others had to do.

Full stop right there. Since when did being Inheritor mean I care about some stupid cR? Never, it means I play a lot, which is completely different.

Have you even looked at your own stats? Your comp ToD is the lolbanshee and your FF ToD is the rocket launcher. That's pretty much the hallmark of whoring credits. Unless you're seriously contending that your idea of fun is sitting in one place at the top of a map endlessly spamming explosives in the general direction of spawn points.
