When talking about credits per game, it's important to mention your current rank, as it has an effect on how many credits you get per game.

Well you also have to take into account the syncing of all the enemy AI as well, something you don't have in versus.NullPointer said:

Just finished reading the re-issue of The Flood. I enjoyed it, if only for the supplemental material (McKay, Jenkins, Yayap and Zuka Zamamee). I mainly skimmed through the parts that just retold the game, and thanks the way Dietz breaks his paragraphs, finding the supplemental material was pretty easy.
Looking forward to First Strike!

It's because your rank is a captain. You'll get more once you reach Lt. Colonel or higher

You are a Colonel grade 2, it scales with your rank. I used to get like 500ish but when I became a major I started to get around 700ish.

It seems that lights (and the pieces that have lights embedded in them) are a huge part of the problem if you have a lot of objects occupying a relatively small space. Bridge, XL are a particularly evil culprit.GhaleonEB said:

Wait. Isn't Firefight versus basically the same as standard Firefight, only 2 on 2, with 2 spartans and 2 elites? I thought all the enemy AI were still there, just with actual players as elites leading squads instead of AI.Neuromancer said:

I can't get a breakdown of the game I'm talking about but anyway as I say, I got a full page of (multiple) medals, garnering around 300cR for the game, less than 100cR for commendations, 250cR for medals and 84cR on the slot machine (for a BIG bonus). That was a pretty good game (that you seem to be ignoring). Given that the TS kill limit is set at 50, what do I do here? I don't set the kill limit.

As fun as Halo's core gameplay is I would like some form of progression to tell me how well I'm doing. When I play well (subjective, of course) and I don't get rewarded for it, it frustrates me greatly.
It's impossible to ignore the credits system; even if you're not unlocking anything it's directly linked to ranking up. How do you propose ranking up without the credit system? If I want to rank up, I have to earn credits, which introduces a grind to an extent regardless. Progression is good. What I don't want is a fucking rabbit hole.
(although if you want to go down that route, yes, the fact that I'm paying for a game and I'm never going to see all of what it has to offer pisses me off, regardless of whether it takes 2 weeks or two years. If you're going to do this kind of system, do it properly.)

It was temporary. The fact that it has been said multiple times in the past 2 pages and no one reads it is ridiculous to me.

Short Ban, according to amirox it was for some MS Bias in the Kinect thread. The post that got him banned was deleted though.
It's not a long ban apparently.

I was excited too yesterday thinking I would be getting 1-2k cR per game with Urk's tease about the bonus credits. But I was getting around 600-700 on average.
I had a WTF moment when my friends who were higher ranks than me said they were getting like 1.5k per game and I was getting only 700 but yet I was doing just as well or better than them in the same game.
The poor stay poor and the rich get richer!!! :lol

Managed to get the flight helmet last night finally. 
On average I get about 900-1000 points per game if I do decent. Hope the non-quit jackpot happens soon.

We're both at Captain, but I'm slightly ahead right now at Grade 2. And checking your b.net profile, I've also played less games than you. (My Bungie profile)
But when I play, I usually go for the Firefight challenges first, then I'll jump into MP. I LOVE the fact that I can play for about 40min on a weeknight (like last night) and get around 4k Cr because of the challenges.
As far as my 1k Cr games go; Usually Multi-Team, or Invasion, or Rumble Pit to get that high of a Cr total. I believe that in Team Slayer and SWAT modes I get the least amount.

My guess on the algorithm for the Jackpot. It's either:
a) your completing-to-quitting ratio
or
b) the longer you go consecutively without quitting a game, the higher your probability of getting a large jackpot goes up and once you do quit, that probability drops significantly.

There a lot of gametypes missing.
Correct Objective Gametypes
Correct Infection Gametypes and Maps
Actual Race Gametypes and Maps
2 maps is absolutely nothing; I play nothing but objective and Arena and I have seen cliffhanger Once.
And don't tell the map pack is a good addition; I have to pay for it. The first map pack should be free considering how awful the variety is now.
2 months is a long time and if its such a big time investment, then they should have put a separate team to do so in the first Month after release.
And your last sentence is a bunch of bullshit tripe. If you play the same maps (many of which are just okay) over and over again; all while knowing that there is a multitude of maps just sitting there waiting or "Being Tested", its gonna get boring.
I am as big of a Bungie fanboy as anyone, but the little mistakes and lack of any progress in adding variety is getting old. I shouldn't have to wait till months after release to want to play again.
I'd rather say something about it than just pretend that its not issue and act like its perfect.

Longer games usually get you more cR, like btb games tend to be.
Your profile says you average 13.53 Kills/Game
Did anyone else get their campaign progress erased by the dashboard update? I go into campaign to do the challenge on Exodus, and it only lists Noble Actual as available and not having been completed. Pretty strange since nothing went missing on my hard drive in terms of file count.

Why are you entitled to anything?
As far as what is "correct" for a gametype, it is SO different for everyone they will never please each person. I feel they have struck quite a good balance, Arena is all Pro all the time now, they would have never did anything like that for Halo 3.
Slayer and Obj. have enough variety to keep them interesting. Are they perfect? No, but I've seen more progress in these 2 months then I saw in the entire life span of Halo 3 as far as matchmaking updates go.

Sure, these updates are nice and have certainly breathed some life into the launch's stale modes.Ramirez said:
However, I don't see how anyone can make the argument that Reach has a stellar map collection. Compare it against any other Halo game and it's even more frustrating. Not to mention that the maps are, literally, pulled straight out of campaign maps. Sure, things have gotten better with the Forge maps being added into the playlists, but I think the OP has a point with his statement about the maps. The Noble Map Pack for free would be sweet.

Now one can only reminisce about the good ol' days of Doom, Quake, and Duke Nukem 3D, when you could just wave a stick and hit about 50 free maps with each swipe.Gui_PT said:

So, Bungie...
Why can players grief me by blowing up my Wraith in Firefight, even with friendly fire disabled?
(Yes, it was clearly deliberate, some fucking pricks took exception to me using one and deliberately blew my Wraith up)

Firefight is the least cooperative CO-OP mode ever. I'm going to take a wild guess they could still get a 1000+ points for destroying it even if it had been taken from the enemy. If not, than yeah, he was just being a dick.

U crazy enzo atom rawks cliffside sucks though.
Re free maps in doom and duke, how many of those were from the developers? How many were new projects with totally hand built geometry and textures? Those were only slightly harder to build than forge maps, and like forge maps there was a huge deluge of them, mostly shitty. Bungie is actually spending time to vet forge maps (through forgetacular now other methods later) , and add them to the rotation. You dont pay a dime, but bungie is dropping real man hours into that process.
So yea, free content, you are getting it.
