Subject: Do you have Inclement Weather? If so, I gots a question for you.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a... no wait, it is a bird.

Before you immediately say "lol, credits is useless brah", I already know that. Earning Inclement Weather is just giving me something to pass the time until Halo 4 gets here. So no, I'm not an Inclement Weather fanboy.

Back on topic - If you have it, what did you do to earn it? As in, what playlist did you play in primarily, or what playlist do you think yields the most cR? I do my challenges whenever I can, so that's already been taken account for.

Again, I only want to know so that I can get this out of the way and go back to being bored until Nov. 6th.

Thanks in advance.

Well, I have the blue flames, but they're getting boring. I switch out between the Legendary Edition ones and the blue ones, but they're both boring.

Just play the game for fun, the playlists you like to play the cR will come to you.. If you're just playing a playlist just for the cR the game will get boring and more of a grind than fun.

If you really want to earn more cR play playlists where the games last longer like BTB, invasion (sometimes if both teams get to the 3rd stage).. FF doubles as well since those games can last a while and you get a lot more commendation cR than a normal MM playlist and still get a good amount for game completion and all that.

It already feels like a grind, as all I play for is cR anymore. Sure I still have a lot of fun doing so, but knowing what gives the most credits would be a huge help.

What's funny is the fact that these are the playlists I play the most, changing up regularly. And even though they last a long time, in the long-run, you still get about the same amount of cR as you would from a normal Team Slayer game, if not a tiny bit more.

I'm new to competitive Halo and Halo itself (Reach being my first video game ever actually). Message me if you want to play;

Reach: MLG, Arena, Doubles, BTB and customs.
Halo 3: Ranked MM and customs.

Also I have every Halo title and all of its DLC on the Xbox 360.
-Umpa

Best ways to get more credits (in no particular order);

1.) Weekly Challenges

2.) Daily Challenges

3.) Commendations (Target Locator on ONI: Sword Base)

4.) Custom Challenge (via Waypoint)

5.) Jackpots

6.) Firefight Matchmaking

7.) Winning games of Grifball or Team Objective. (You get an extra bonus for winning.)

8.) In general just win games, get as many kills and medals as possible.

Remember don't focus on one of these methods at one time, work on multiple techniques at once.

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.

I played the game. Shocking, right?

I have enough for both Inclement Weather and Pestilence, but haven't purchased either of them.

***KEEP IT CLEAN***

Right, here are a few tips.

Firefight. Play Arcade with 2 Custom challenges.

:800 kills = 10,000cR
:800 medals = 10,000cR

Your next rank is Field Marshall. You should average 6-7k per game if you get most kills. You could always sign in a guest pad and sign it out during the game. It will lag you out into your own game = more kills = more medals ;) (But kills and medals won't go towards custom challenges. It's purely for credit gain).

Next is Grifball. Get a team of 8. No one touch the ball until the 5th round and then score at the end. You can earn around 24-29k per game and hit the cap in about 12 games. This means you'll be getting kills only, while earning your Jack of All trades and Close Quarters commendation.

Daily and weekly challenges help. Never forget Firefight Thursday challenges. And play the chosen Super Jackpot playlist
to earn even more.

The higher your rank, the more you earn.

Grifball had a huge payout during the summer, I do not know if that's still going on.

Yeah, Grifball has had a larger than normal performance bonus for a while, it's permanent.

Who burnt the bacon?

Pestilence. Don't want that overused effect people call Inclement Weather. I call it "Shocking Plague."

  • 10.06.2012 2:52 PM PDT

Tin shacks and catfish bones.

Blue Flame and Pestilence or bust.

Don't be a noooooob.

What if I just do the firefight arcade challenges over and over?

Fhtagn

I played MM, because I find people playing only to get cR pathetic.
I've earned it. I didn't use any glitch, custom challenge, or stuff like that. Only Multiplayer.

~:O>~~

tHE ANNIVERSARY playlist gives out the most CREDITS out of ALL playlists so I would suggest you [/i]play that[/i] cuz... leik I said I gives the most credits.

I have legendary flames and eternal and I never wear them to be honest Im sick of inclement I mostly use pestilance I only use inclement as I think it makes my haunted helmet look better..lol. However dont be a noob and wear it into matchmaking>>!

I have 2 inheritor online accounts I never bothered with custom challenges on either of them and I ranked up in mostly firefight. If you get good at it always have max sprees and never die the cr payout is high provided you are always top player. I ranked up in 8 months on my main inheritor profile and it took me 2 weeks to save 2mil for inclement. At what rank I was Im not sure around legend on my main and way before that on my 2nd profile as I wanted good armor quickly on my 2nd profile as I was used to having it on my main.
