Yeah, just make sure not to die when you resume the campaign. If you do die, just save and quit and resume it again.LosDaddie said:OK. Great
So you just play the campaign like normal (dying & all) and just before the mission ends, you Save and Quit and then immediately Resume Solo Campaign. Right?
Man I'd love to get these credits but also that blue avatar helmet

That's wild. I actually think I'm going to take a stab at this challenge today! I'm only ~11000 credits before I hit Lt. Colonel Grade 3, so this is going to help out tons towards reaching that goal today.LosDaddie said:

Tell me about it, I got both rocket spawns twice, which is 6 rockets per spawn. :lol I only managed to get the fountain one the last time, it only has 2 in it. What's funny is that the top team has a clear advantage in getting to them first pretty much every time as well.

Asylum kinda needs fixing - people have been climbing up the rock face, which can be pretty annoying in Swat. I have the video if anyone wants to check it out, but just putting a few more rocks to block the paths on the cliffface should do it.
On another note, this is the first time ive really played player vs player this week and I just got Like Mike, yaaay.

Thought I'd mention that none of the Score Attack games I played last night or this morning are part of my game history or Service Record on bungie.net. So the two games of Gruntocalypse and a campaign mission that did record are the only of the past ten or so games that transferred to bungie.net.
Given that the entire point of Score Attack is to push my score up over and over and savor the stats, I'm done with the game mode until the problem is fixed. It's very frustrating to have an excellent, personal best game and not have it count. I'm hoping the issue is addressed in today's update.

It's trying to shame me. The only games recording are Gruntocalypse, when I only played them to get the daily challenge. All those Mythic Attack games? NooooooooTrasher said:
If I kept going my game history would be one long list of Gruntocalypse and then I'd have to turn over my man card.

That reminds me, I have not yet given Mythic Attack a whirl.
Lotta fun. 27,960 on Courtyard.

Played a SWAT game on Cliffhanger yesterday, it can be summed up as:
Spawn camp or be spawn camped.

Did some Score Attack on Glacier, the slow-down, my god. Must be even worse in Firefight MM.

Like Score Attack, just with the mythic skull on I believe. And it gives the exact same amount of credits as normal, because scaling that based on the difficulty would be too sensible and obvious.

Trasher said:
Its just like normal Score Attack, but the Mythic skull is turned on so enemies have double health. I wanna see the return of Crash Site, that mode was a little more fun in my opinion.
Ghaleon you cant really treat Score Attack scores as something to really use as a leaderboard for competition. It seems inconsistant, like some games im sure there are more enemies than others? If not more enemies, there are different classes of enemies.
Either way im now a Colenal offline, Brigadier is apparently 500K away, oh no.

Yeah. Screw that, they should at least give 2x the points.Photolysis said:
Oh well. I'm used to this kind of thing, since completing a campaign mission on Legendary only gives you like 70 cR. =(

I'm just giving you a hard time about this game.

Way back on launch week I was thinking...that tag is familar and pretty good player...then you dropped/quit. Just poking fun.

Without playlist specific ranks, it never will be, and will probably get worse as the game ages.
The current ranks do not tell the system (trueskill or whatever) if that person is going to quit or betray etc., only how many credits they have. I could play BTB for a straight year and maintain a 4.0 k/d and still be teamed up with people who quit left and right.
I absolutely hate this about the game and it still baffles me as a purposeful decision.
I probably got booted by my teammate. It looks like I might have had a betrayal. :lolchess said:
When I first read your post I thought maybe you were in a game I was in earlier today that I quit out of. I was trying to get the 77 kill challenge completed, but I got a second game of Rocket Race in a row and was not very happy about it. I think that was maybe the only game I legit quit out of in Reach haha.
Thanks for looking into it, good to know it's been identified.urk said:

It's quite consistent. The enemy count seems to vary slightly based on the post game report because dudes that kill each other or themselves don't count as a kill if you haven't done any damage to them.bobs99 ... said:
I believe some individual squads such as the boss wave can vary in mix, but not number, slightly.
I played two on Cliffhanger today and that's exactly what happened to me. Not enjoyable at all.Devolution said:
I got to play Slayer Pro on Atom and really enjoyed it though. It would have been better as normal Slayer, but Pro doesn't bother me too much. Good map, flows well with varying levels and nice sight lines, just wished I saw it in rotation again so I could have another few goes.
Oh, and Sword Base gets worse each time I play it. It just devolves into holding the lift and that top floor area with power weapons. I played a game of CTF on it too and it was terrible, far too small and cramped for it.

Overall, I think it averages out pretty well. There is some variation in weapons and squad makeup, which could make it slightly easier or harder. In Gruntpocalypse for instance, you can get the spec ops guys with Plasma Launchers of Fuel Rods. Similarly whether you get Brute captains with Gravity Hammers, Plasma Repeaters, or Spikers. Elites sometimes have Energy Swords.
I don't really see these making any significant difference anyway.
Gui_PT said:
It has good things and bad things to it. Because the trueskill rank isn't obvious for all to see, there's no point cheating for it. But equally that hides away a very strong incentive for certain players to stick around and try instead of quitting.
Part of the problem as well is that Halo doesn't work well with quitters. In MW2, someone quits and 10 seconds later someone will be along to take their place. In Reach, that's not the case. If a bunch of guys quit, unless you're exceptionally good (or your opponents are exceptionally bad), it's usually best to quit yourself because finishing the game properly isn't worth it.
I'm surprised this wasn't changed from Halo 2. If it's 8 vs 1, is there really much point in wasting everyone's time by forcing the game to carry on to its conclusion, often by running out the clock if it's a slayer game? Why not just allow a team to forfeit?
Halo has been very progressive in certain areas, but after 6 years you'd imagine that a better solution would have been developed to reduce the impact of quitters.

I'm starting to come around on Cliffhanger but from my first game on Atom I love it. If this is the first taste of community map integration I can't wait to see what else is in store for us. Those two maps really make me feel the need for a "new map proving ground" playlist. Bungie could even release the voting stats to show which were the most popular! Talented Forgers: get to work! My fun demands that you sacrifice your social/professional lives! I love exclamation points!

I'll never get it. Been sitting on 47/49 for a while now. I'm not even a captain yet much less Lt
Don't have much plans to play more than a few games a week unless something becomes fun again. Actually customs are fun, but no peeps doing those.

We just need harsher matchmaking bans for quitting, coupled with a cR drop. Not as intensely harsh as some people were suggesting way back when, but stuff that goes into effect sooner at least.Kuroyume said:
And no penalties for quitting out of score attack, that's just straight up dumb.
So I did something incredibly stupid. I was checking my rank offline (over halfway through grade three of Commander btw), and I had heard that you were refunded your credits if you bought stuff that was actually locked because of the rank cap. So anyways, I started buying shit just to check stuff out on my Spartan, and I bought stuff that was already unlocked with my current online rank. MISTAKE. So those 500,000 credits I had saved up? All gone. :lol Oh well. It's all cosmetic so I don't really care. Was kinda saving up to get the pestilence armor effect though. Mainly because I've never seen it haha.

There is a much, much, much lower chance of someone quitting if you're a level 30, and get paired up with other 30s, for example. And if they do quit often enough, they go back down to 25 and you no longer have to play with them.
Right now, everything except two playlists is social matchmaking plain and simple. And with that, you get all the flaws.
