Why is it that last game I go +20 with a perfection and a rampage and only get 762 cR and sometimes get well over 1,000 cR when I do a lot worse? I feel like it depends too much on stupid things like the jackpot and challenges and a lot less on skill and how well you actually do in the game. Any thoughts?

cR is based on how long the game lasts, and performance bonus is always 20% of game completion so it doesn't really have anything to do with performance.

So if you have a short game and do amazing you wont get as much cR as if you have a long game and do not as well.

It's the complete opposite of the COD system when you get cR for how many kills and how good you do. Which is why rank means absolutely nothing in Reach and is just how long you've played the game.

Win a game and you get more cR and the longer a match is played the more cR you get.

They thought about all the Casuals, this method pays out cR to anybody even players that cant get kills.

Clearly. Seems like Reach was designed for bad kids who play way too much. Disappointing..

The system is based entirely on how long of the match you played. Short game = not so much, long game = a lot.

cR from Kills/medals/etc don't mean much at all when it's all added up.
