I recently reached Colonel 2 days ago, it took about 50 matches to reach Colonel grade 1 and yesterday i finally reached colonel grade 2 after completing all the challenges. It takes about 110,000 credits and it is so irritating because i keep getting about 753 CR a game, while everyone who is at least commander and LT. Colonel keep getting 1,000 a game. Like my friend name C4boose132. I just want to know why is this so hard


AND i'm not complaining, when you are a low rank and you haven't had to have 110k CR to rank up you're not used to it. Of course i know Hero, Legend, mythic, noble, eclipse, nova and forerunner-inheritor is going to be hard. All i'm asking is it hard to rank up because i'm not used to having that many CR to rank up.

I just got up to Brigadier last night. Oh and I got 1,300 - 1,600 as that rank usually.

So I am not sure why you aren't getting as much. But don't worry. It doesn't take too long to get up ;)

Immortality: A toy which people cry for, And on their knees apply for, Dispute, contend and lie for, And if allowed Would be right proud Eternally to die for.

That's nothing compared to getting to any of the final seven ranks.

PSR = (((K+A)/D)*Win%)*120
The average player's PSR = 100

lulz. It's gonna be funny to see you complain if you ever get to the hexagons. 3.5 million credits for each.

They seemed easier to me.

The first ranks took forever.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

I'm a Colonel Grade 3 and I agree that it takes a long time

My solution: stopped caring about credits and played for fun

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

Well 343i introduced custom challenges, you can earn quite abit of credits in just alittle bit of time, plus it will get you back into the game, if you lost interest.

No rank is hard, all you've gotta do is play the game.

I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

I'm a Field Marshall. It's gonna take 700,000 cR to get to the next rank for me. Stop complaining because 110,000 cR takes no time to get through IF you play right and get daily and weekly challenges.

If you're that desperate, play a lot of Score Attack or go to Waypoint and set up custom challenges.

Wait till the later ranks if you find this hell. Colonel does not take long at all. Forerunner and Reclaimer is going to kill you.

My thoughts exactly.

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

takes 1,350,000 to get from mythic to noble. You are fine.
