i have looked at quite a lot of threads containing ways to earn credits through grifball, however not one thread has mentioned the trick i know. now a lot of halo reach players want to know how to earn credits real fast and yes there is the way of boosting in campaign on such missions as oni sword base with the target locator, and some even mention firefights with gruntpocalypse and score attack, however campaign boosting doesnt last forever and whilst its good for the first beginning stages of your growth of your commendations, it gets very boring and very tiring extremely fast, as for firefighting, i agree to a certain extent that its a good way, well least for commendation boosting, but personally speaking i earn around 8000-10000 credits every 15 minutes in grifball, heres why
i am the leader of the KH28 clan, which has 100+ members and we have youtube videos, a facebook fanpage and an official website, our clan is about peace, honor and respect, all for which the clan was formed in honor of my cousin kristian holgate who passed away in 2009 through to having muscular dystrophy (a disease) and he died aged 17, he was a big halo player. anyways i normally team up with around 7 other members and we dont bother planting the bomb in grifball, we just focus all attention on killing, however you dont need friends or clan members to do this, sometimes random teamups can be annoying though because you get the odd exceptions of players that just aim to win and aint bothered for the credits, so be careful
the reason i earn around 8000-10000 per 15 minutes is because with not scoring the bomb, the game decides on how well you played during the game, i generally get a KD of 20, which is above average but not MLG standard, however at the end of the game, i get completion bonus, i get performance bonus, i get commendation bonus and generally get a good amount of credit bonus, so the credits easily stack up
now the best way to make sure that you can get this amount of credits each time, is to make sure you dont score on the first round, on the second round score one, on the third score another, and then on the remaining rounds dont score the bomb, this way the best of 5 rounds is stretched from a basic 3 rounds which happens in most games to around 4-5 rounds therefore giving you more chance of kills, also holding the bomb increases credits as you can kill once with the bomb without dying then go to recharge and you get credits from the kill and close call credits which is worth 7CR
hope this helps anyone who is trying to find the best and easiest way of earning credits, personally im a grifball fanatic, i have tried all other games but non come close for credits in comparison to grifball
if you want to be in the KH28 CLAN, then send me (KAOSRAINUK and ELEKHTRA a friend request, i look forward to hearing from you)
peace
