Thats ridiculous, so basicaly play the xbox if you don't your banned from it. i only just got to a captain grade 3, but thats mostly my bro cause we play on the same account. he plays it a lot more then i do.
I lol'd so hard at this post... A) Bungie has released an update saying they put a level cap in force to stop people from rushing off into all the higher ranks like some faggots do. So if you're already at Lt Colonel, you've got there before Bungie wanted you to be there... DEAL WITH IT. B) If you haven't yet sussed out that Score Attack/Gruntpocalypse is the fastest way to get credits and you get approx 1000-2500 credits per game you're officially a moron. C) The reason those armour abilities are priced so high is because people want them to look cool. Like Hyabusa Helmet in 3, when everyone got it, it became lame... alot like recon, if you had recon BEFORE the vidmasters, you were "SOO awesome..." When the vidmasters came out, it was just "oh, that guys got recon like 4 other people in this match". Inclement Weather is no different, the more people who have it, the more retarded it will become. So basically, Chill out and play the game how it's supposed to be played. Stop credit whoring because you won't get anywhere, and everyone has the same chance of getting the same armour, getting there first doesnt make you anymore special.
Armory needs price changes now! Here are a few examples: ODST Helmet: 20.000 cR Tacpad: 10.000 cR EOD Helmet: 40.000 cR HAZOP Helmet: 15.000 cR Commando Helmet: 60.000 cR Mk.V Helmet: 80.000 cR Pilot Helmet: 60.000 cR HUL(Recon attachment): 1000 cR Mk.VI Helmet: 50.000 cR GUNGNIR Helmet: 100.000 cR Security: 80.00 cR HU/RS(GUNGNIR attachment): 500 cR CBRN(GUNGNIR attachment): 1000 cR Sniper Shoulder: 3000 cR Grenadier Shoulder: 1000 cR Commando Shoulder: 1500 cR Operator Shoulder: 1000 cR
This. This. This. It would be one thing if the armory influenced gameplay. But it doesn't. I think if I were to have all the pieces by now, I'd be pretty disappointed. And it isn't all that hard to rank up. I don't farm often, but I'm probably going to hit major today. Stop complaining. If it matters to you, farm. Otherwise, play the game and enjoy what you've got.
I do get mad about getting low credit amounts in matchmaking but who cares! That's why they made commendations and daily challenges. So you can rank up your commendations and get like 4000 credits if you get two of them to gold. Anyways I think I would feel more accomplished after getting the weather helmet because it would mean I worked hard to get that two million. Stop complaining about the credits and just play the game geez.
Compared to the higher ranks...highest being 20mil credits without buying anything...40k is really nothing
500 max for a 5 minute game including commendations and slots. 6 games = 3000 cR, 30 minutes play time Assuming you get all the challenges everyday, and you get an average of 4300 cR perday for the 2 hours you play, that's 36 credits per game, for challenges. Factoring the time you take in the menus and starting the actual game which is about 1 minute (assuming you are constantly playing games, without doing ANYTHING else) So 6 games = 3036 cr, 36 minutes. Going back to the original equation thats: 6 games = 2530 cR, 30 minutes So, if you play for an hour that's 5060 cR. 395 hours of playtime would get you incliment weather. That's 16 days of nothing but matchmaking, no menus or going to the bathroom. If you play 3 days a week at 2 hours a day, It would take you 65 weeks to Get inclement weather. Assuming your starting at 0 credits, it would take you till December of 2011 to get the armpit lightning...
I still don't see what the issue is. I consider myself a fairly casual player, but I definitely log more than six hours a week playing this game, and thats with both school and a fiancée taking up considerable portions of my time. Its called a player investment system. The less time you invest, the less you will get back.
um... agreed. this thread is pretty pointless, once again just a place for people to *****. Sure, I'd love to already have the black visor, mark V, and grunt birthday but I don't play 12 hours a day, and I'm not an expert at halo. I like the new system. I like that I can't get every piece of armor within a week or two of play. I like that NO ONE CAN GET EVERY PIECE WITHIN A WEEK OR TWO OF PLAY. Its going to take time, so just get over it. that's the whole point of this system, I really don't understand the problem people have Added after 8 minutes: whats wrong with gruntpocolypse? So its not as hard to get cR in that as it is in multi. matchmaking, but who cares? its not gaming the system, its a legitmate way to earn cR. If you're focused on earning "legit cR" versus "cheap cR" than I feel sorry for you. doesn't anyone just play for fun anymore? its a game. the point is to have a good time. If you spend your time online angry at those with higher rank because they didn't play as well as you in the match.... thats pathetic. Added after 21 minutes: last thing i have to say. I'm so glad you took the time to make this list and put it up. It must be nice to have so much free time you can waste it with crap like this why did you bother? the prices aren't going to change. so why think about what we would like them to cost? this thread aggrivated me. I had to post three times lol
It goes based off of importance. If you hate the starting helmet and you want another because you love it, then you can. It's supposed to be easier to buy the essentials. That way you'll purchase the big things, then when you're certain that it's your favorite, you still have to work for the rest. Also, The helmets are MUCH pricier once you reach Lt. colonel (200k +)
i think its good we have to wait till the lvls are raised XD thats all the more time to save up money for the things i want =)
yes exactly I've figured out I'll only have 80,000 when I get to Lt Colonel.... I'm still going to have to save for the mark V. I kind of enjoy the saving
Mmhmm =3 i am saving for some accesories but i am curious what u unlock when u get to commander, colonel etc. so i wont spend anything to soon x3
1. Bungie has also stated that they do not consider either Gruntpocolypse nor the Sword Base repeating an exploit. They said if you're playing the game, there is no issue. I must also point out that Bungie also plans to reduce the amount of credits earned from Gruntpocalypse slightly, so a quick heads up on that. 2. He took the time to compile that list, when chances are he could have earned himself two thousand credits instead. I personally don't see how people are having so much trouble saving credits. I splurged a bit when I hit Major, bought the TacPad and a pimped out EVA that I don't even like. I haven't gotten to Major Grade 3, but I am already back up to 130k credits. Play the game and save some credits up.
I have no problem with 'how long things take to get' rather I feel bungie has problems predicting which Items will be popular or not, so they made a lot of not-so-great items overly expensive, and kind of popular items rather cheap/easy to get. (Like heart attack Vs Birthday party armor effects or JFO Helmet Vs EVA) (Arguable of course) I also empathize with the... less dedicated... halo players. It would be nice if there was a/were piece(s) of armor or armor ability that was unlocked after each grade of rank progression at least until you reached Major. I have a few friends that play maybe 2 - 4 hours a week, and they would like to have something to strive for that's obtainable "in the next couple of days" rather than next year... Also I love when people ***** about people bitching, it makes everyone look so intelligent : )
