hello I do not have live and I have been playing Reach offline since it was released.I have almost all the armor unlocked and I am finally a General. I have finally been able to save up and purchase a faster internet connection and wish to sign up for xbl.I just need to know if I were to sign up will I lose my progress (all my credits,rank and armor) when I am to sign onto xbl for the first time or if it wont all reset as long as I don't play Reach online?

I don't know exactly how it works, but I believe your cR's get cut down quite a bit.

but is that only when I sign inot reach and I try to play it online or as soon as my account is created and I sign online it will reset?

You want a sandwich? Sure. As long as you don't mind me putting poison in it.

Yeah. I use the AR, so what? All you can do is scream and rage about me using the weapon.

If you go online with your offline account your rank will be reset, if not halved.
If you go online with your offline account and then continue to use it offline you'll only be able to earn 1000cR per day.

You'll lose all armor that you bought after you earned the rank of Sergeant.

Everything.

You're going to be left with the basics. No Eva, Commando Helmets, nothing like that.

And like the person said above me, once you go online and earn Cr online, you'll earn next to nothing if you play offline.

ok so as long as I don't sign in to play reach online than I shouldn't have any of my offline progress reset right?

well that does suck i guess considered all that time youve put into your character. But on the bright side i belive the game automatically gives you 5000 Cr for just joining the online commuity.

what's the point of signing up to live and no when you play reach it will reset you after you've gone live

Really i dont belive you should stay offline just cause of your armour getting reset. since youve been playing for a while i asume you will rank up relativly fast considering your am offline general. (honestly i dont know if your armour gets reset or not but theres only one way to find out)

The point is instead staring blankly into a T.V screen all day confined in a room you can talk to little squeakers from england and enjoy the large custom game lobbies with friends.

You will lose some of your armor and your credits get set back a bit.

It's easier to rank up now than it ever was before though. The weeklys USUALLY pay out upwards of 20k Cr where as a year ago they were 10k Cr. With custom challenges he'll pile up Cr quickly as well.
