Does anybody else find it strange that the Credit value associated with the Daily & Weekly Challenges has remained consistently low since the launch of Halo: Reach? Sure, the Weekly Challenge values may have gone up a little bit to being usually around the 20,000cR area, but still...

Considering how long the game has been out, you'd think that the values would have increased by now - especially when you can do Firefight Custom Challenges for 10,000cR each and reach the 200,000cR daily maximum in a matter of hours. If it were not for that, the Challenges would still be ok, but they are almost irrelevant now really because who would choose to do them when you could do one for 10,000cR every hour?

Taking a look at some other games - Gears of War, Call of Duty, etc., generally after time goes on you start seeing EXP multipliers. It's strange that we haven't seen an increase of cR-earning in Halo: Reach all that drastically in terms of Challenges and simply in-game earning.

Will 343 increase the daily maximum? Will they add multipliers before Halo 4 comes out to help those completionists finish the game?

I am not so concerned myself about ranking up, more-so just curious as to the relevance of the Daily and Weekly Challenges... because they really are almost laughable considering what you can earn in Custom Challenges.

Thoughts?

Pro tip: Play Matchmaking instead of wasting your time with LASO's and you'll accumulate two times more credits than what you would receive from the challenge.

I've always just played the game and sometimes challenges get completed unconsciously, I never go out of my way to get a challenge

That's part of the point though, isn't it? It just shows that Challenges really are irrelevant compared to how you can earn Credits elsewhere.

The Challenge system was definitely a cool feature, but the fact that the rewards for completing them are far too low makes them not worth the trouble. That's why I think that they should have increased value.

Cr are pointless.
Play the game for the game, not the virtual pixels it gives you.

Challenges were never meant to be a big cR giver.. They have always been low and a little something extra for doing something you might have already done.. If you care about cR that much that you think they're to low than don't do them.. Back when I played a lot even after I hit Inheritor I would still go for the challenges in a day just for the fun of it not for the cR.

Credits, 4.5 million and only if I could convert them into cold hard cash.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I had to learn this the hard way.

OT: Just play grifball. Two games of grifball= more than weekly challenge.
I'm more annoyed by us having only three or four kinds of weekly challenges recently.

Pro's use Liberty to complete LASO Challenges.

I know, again proving the irrelevance of the Challenges!

I still do the LASO's when they come up just because they are fun. I never really did weeklys for the credits.
