Subject: Offline armor and ranks

my son had earned a lot of armor and ranks offline because we did not have internet access. Recently he was able to start xbox live. When he tries to play off line now all of his armor and ranks are gone. Are they stored somewhere? How can he get them back?

He cannot. You earn credits MUCH faster offline than you do online. As such, when you turn an account into an online account, your credits are reverted back to what they would be if you were always playing online. This is to prevent people cheating and just making offline accounts, getting everything really quickly, and going online with them. If he wants everything he had back, he will have to play the game normally via Xbox Live.

That's because the profile is no longer an offline profile. His rank, credits, armor, etc... is stored server-side to keep track of things. If that makes sense...

Er... did you read what I said mate? His credits were reverted to what they would have been if he had been playing campaign/customs online. If he wants them back he has to earn them just like everybody else instead of getting them quickly via the accelerated pace playing offline gives you.
