Subject: cR Values For Challenges Have No Consistency!

Apologies if this has been answered before, but WHAT is the deal with cR values for challenges like today's?!? (12/22/2011)

So if I "Kill 1000 enemies on Courtyard in Firefight Matchmaking.", I get 3000cR. OK, not bad, but that's a lot of work. BUT, by even attempting this, I would presumably get "Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking." for 3200cR. Um, WTF, am I missing something? Why is way less work worth more?? To make matters even more confusing, I could "Kill 125 enemies on Glacier on Heroic in Firefight Matchmaking.", but for only 1100cR. Why so little, comparatively?

And so the other time-consuming (possibly even difficult) challenge for today is "Kill 200 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking." for 3000cR. This seems acceptable, especially if you were gonna go for the 1k enemy challenge, but it would take a while regardless.

It just seems like there's absolutely no consistency with these things.

200 headshots isn't that much work at all. Though I do find it funny that it is worth 3000 cR, when you can make a custom challenge for 375 headshots in Firefight MM, and that is worth 10k.

the guy who is in charge of challenges hasn't been sober in the last 20 years

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

Plus it's a video game. Congress, maybe medical care, are places we actually need consistency.

I assume you mean that you get cR for the commendations, not the kills, correct?

Thanks for the replies, everyone!

That is not including commendations. Go to Waypoint, make a custom challenge for 375 headshots in firefight matchaking, it gives you a 10 k payout separate from Commendations.

Soon Ill be kissing challenges good bye. After I finish the firefight ones later, and get all the terminals, Ill be an inheritor. Too bad I reached the cap today already.

spiral out

I've only hit the cR cap twice, both of them were before the custom challenges were nerfed (back when you could get 30k for 400 MM medals.)

I'm only seeing a payout of a little over 6k cr.

Wasn't there a challenge yesterday also that rewarded like 1250 cR and another that awarded 3000 cR for something that you could get done in the process of and before finishing the 1250 cR challenge?

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.

That's because its random.
