The 50 credit cap per everything is only if you go offline with a LIVE account. An account without LIVE registered. gets regular credit income.

[@killerkitten7534]

Nah, I played offline with an account that was never online and it still only gave me 50.

[@saintxxiv669]

MrRussianDoll Yea your right i was thinking the same thing

[@kingjacob926]

I have a Account that never been online and I get at least 1000 every game. I usually play gruntpocalypse and Splitscreen Multiplayer wit my Brother. Every once in a while I’ll play Campaign

[@Ambross_Fyshing]

Ya I can confirm if you play on a console that has never been online you get a lot more Cr. When I was younger I would leave forge running when I would leave for school and when I got home it would give me about 3200 Cr. But I’m pretty sure that it would max out after about an hour and a half.

Back in 2010-2011 when I didn’t know Xbox Live was a thing, I GRINDED the heck out of Halo Reach. I played offline because I had the Xbox 360 Arcade and I would have to connect my Xbox to the TV in the living room and my parents said I wasn’t allowed to move the modem, until February 2012. I was Eclipse while playing offline. I didn’t get nearly as 50Cr? I got way, way, way more. Around 5,000 - 12,000. When I connected to Xbox Live... I lost my Eclipse rank and took me way back to Captain Grade 2. I died...

I second this. I was field marshall in reach and after about 10 months of play took my account online for the first time (for that gamertag anyway) copped a 1.3 million credit "fine" for 'not playing online and earning credits legitimately'. I wasn't too happy. lots of hours spent actually building maps and playing through the campaign and firefights, all lost cause I wanted to play solo hahaha. *sighs*

When I was younger I used to actually turn on forge, leave my Xbox (while constantly turning on my controller because I didn't have wired), and watch the credits roll in. I think it maxed out at an hour, so I would turn my controller on 4 times for 25k credits. Also made it to Nova through this method before I ended up getting Xbox Live- finally in 2011.

If you have an account that has never been online (so you never had connected the xbox to internet or made any sort of account for it just a name for the account) and played on it, there is no credit cap at all, and you get way more credits than this. I used to have no xbox live on my xbox 360 and i got up to general pretty fast actually. its once you bring that account onto xbox live (not even necessarily xbox live gold) that you get way less credits, they even took away a lot of my rank and i am now only a captain

[@thomasalias8492]

Andrew Helmer - playing the same game 24/7 for over a decade just to get max rank doesn't give a sense of accomplishment either lol. If you're gonna be playing offline, I recommend just modding. You'll get all the cool armory you want which will make your campaign cutscenes more enjoyable, seeing your character looks so badass. I used to own a 360 with no internet connection. It was rough and modding was the only way I stayed sane since each mission only gave me 50 credits.

[@Osiriscat97]

This video is wildly inaccurate. Offline is way different from no Xbox live membership. With no membership, you gain credits even faster than online with a membership. It's worth pointing out at this time that you have to have never played the game online with a gold membership in order for it to work, otherwise this video is indeed accurate

[@heterosexualbatman9031]

[@SirMisterMonsieur]

A couple days ago, I started playing Reach again. Played halfway through the campaign on Legendary, bought a lot of gear from the armory, and overall felt pretty good about my progress. But after some time, I got curious to see what Xbox Live would offer. So - because I thought that it wouldn't do anything drastic - I got it. I was eccstatic; I could access the daily/weekly achievements, get a ton of cR and I could record my progress and see how far I had come...! But it was all stripped away when I actually loaded up the game. It prompted me to either fork over nearly all of my cR (which I have ~93000) or keep everything and make a default character. I chose the latter. Now I'm stuck with a Recruit-ranked default dude and I can't even disconnect from Xbox Live and play as my once badass Warrant Officer girl. It really sucks :(

Holy crap, this brought back memories. Smol bean me, playing Halo Reach for the first time and absolutely REVELING in the customization options... cue me sitting in empty forge maps while doing homework. And the commendation grinding example you showed in the online video in the ONI Sword Base mission? Little me googled that on my fourth generation ipod and spent HOURS trying to figure out how to do it properly. When it stopped working, I didn't realize it was because I maxed the commendations; I thought they had patched it! I didn't play any online because I didn't have gold and I wasn't allowed to anyway at that age... I can't believe I seriously thought I'd be able to grind my way through now, looking at these numbers

das nice, and thankfully there are better methods mentioned in the newest comments

[@Evan-or6ip]

This lower amount of credits was DEFINITELY not always the case. I got xbox live during halo reach, and the rank i had before i first got online was FIELD MARSHALL. Then once i got live, it said some bs and reset my rank down to warrant officer, no idea why.

[@strippelhoff4898]

best way to get credits is the play grifball and not plant the bomb, but sit there for the full length of the match. If u hold the ball for the whole game and spawn kill the other team you will get upwards of 18k Cr per game. An average game will still give you over 10k Cr consistently. I used this method for about 2 hours and received 130k Cr. The max time for the game is close to 15-20 minutes.

I am trying to get to the max rank, have been trying for years. That to me is the most efficient was to get to max rank. When I get Reach back, (my friend is sending it to me) I am going to have a field day. I would get, almost 100k points, I can't remember, next time I play, I will come back and tell you, unless you already know.

[@axellindstrom9973]

I have done a extensive amount of testing in this subject the amount of credits you earn are based on if you play the game in a version previous to a patch or not. If you only play the shipped game with nothing else added to it, you would get something like 2k-15k credits for every 10 minute game dependent on the rank. The credit you earn every 10 minutes do also increase when you reach a higher rank and in Brigadier it's something with patched version like 375 credits every 10 minutes.

Could too. My little brother would play multiplayer games like CoD when I barely touch those game's multiplayer and he was having a hard time, I borrowed the controller and destroyed. Reason why I done so good was probably Halo's snappy multiplayer, playing swat all day makes you good at aiming. My skills from that carried over and I dominated. Only thing I had to do was increase the sensitivity. Sometimes it doesn't take skill at all if you ask me, first game of Fortnite I played; I made it to 2nd place, probably only played that game a maximum of 5 times after that because I got bored. You may think I'm lying or I'm trolling, I'm doing neither.

spudbrain Woah, just take it easy man!

[@liamliae4254]

Belive me or not but back in the days i didnt have Xbox live on the 360 so i went and played campaign over and over again til i was Max rank. True story

[@KennethBehar]

Warberg02 I did that, except I was not inheritor, or anywhere close

[@sebastianvaladez2796]

Liam Ahlqvist it’s true I was the Xbox

[@jackofnotrades7783]

Liam Ahlqvist I still don’t have internet on Xbox. the nerdy people in our small town don’t we are not very modern here the best internet is the McDonald’s internet and cellular data

[@Cardboard_Cut]

I wouldn't believe you if i wasn't offline hero rank ;)

[@VideoGamesRus100]

You know it's gonna be a very.... well thought out and put together video if they're advertising swagbucks

[@GrizzWintergreen58]

I had this struggle. At my old house I didn't have internet and I would grind my way through campaign and firefight trying to rank up until I went over to a friend's and was able to play online again...rough times

[@demongrenade2748]

Idk how but you really botched this one. You did no research into how credits were acquired and how much they increase with rank. It seems like you just took the route that would make the easiest video, not the route that would give the most credits. There were major differences between offline, online, and unregistered credit accumulation in reach. If you had no updates for reach on an account that wasn't registered on xbox live, its was relatively easy to farm credits in both forge mode and firefight. You could easily get 5-12 thousand credits in an hour of firefight depending on how the match was set up and how many enemies you killed. This video was very lazy and a complete waste of time. If you are not gonna put in the work, then don't bother.

People make mistakes, quit being a prick.

[@certifiedschizophrenic8598]

[@foryoutubeandbeyond3459]

I'm so glad you made this, I don't have online mode

[@foryoutubeandbeyond3459]

or XBOX live.

[@cuppawolnir9031]

Pretty sure there's a soft cap to credits earned offline after a certain point, so that means you go from those 50 credits to anywhere between 0 and 6.

[@darkguardian1314]

I’ve played only Halo Reach single player campaign on XBOX 360. Never played multiplayer for various reasons. I’m a Brigadier Grade 3 and nearing General. I’m getting old so I think this is my last console. There are some things I’ve noticed in your video that needs correcting. First, credits received depends on rank. Higher rank/higher credit. I currently get 220 credits for completing a level on normal and above. Second, the amount of credit you got was due to the daily challenges posted online and still are being updated to this day. Look at your break down tally. You got credits for completing not just the game but a challenge. You get credits for completing milestones commendations too. The server issues may have to do with the Halo announcements for Halo 3 and Waypoint. I get that ad daily despite it coming out years ago. If the servers are down, my avatar is a recruit until it updates. I still see my actual rank and credits in the armory. I think it’s a bad thing to award little credits for playing. I maxed all my single commendations so it’s just the challenges that helps me advance. Finally, NPC are crap. They either hide in the back and not do nothing but shoot blanks or give away your position and blocking your exit for the enemy. Again, I’ve played ONLY single player campaign and never played a multiplayer match.

[@justicetaylor2695]

Lol, this is me. I only play firefight offline since I don't buy home internet. I was broke, but Reach's level of offline content filled that gap, plus my own made race tracks.

[@piss589]

I remember when I still played reach I reached brigadier just by playing a crap ton of firefight

[@jared-gross]

I have gotten Inheritor in Halo Reach Offline, I have never played online. But, as you progress higher ranks, you get more credits each time, and AFK in forge got me a lot of money, but please note i have been playing more then 10 years. (I spent way more then just 8 hours a day playing, i literally devoted my life to play it)

[@KevinKoolx]

This is when having a Tardis or inter-dimensional portal gun would really help out.

[@Flavusgirl13]

i did get to general offline after alot of split screen forge matches where me and my friends made bases and defenses in forge then went at it at eachother, it was alot of fun

[@Flavusgirl13]

also just 50 credits? i never plugged in internet and i got like 3k per mission or match

[@masterchief8726]

You could always make an account that isn't registered to xbox live. I had an account that I made a custom firefight offline where you were invincible and had bottomless clip. Put that on legendary difficulty and you get a ton of credits every time you play it.

[@xmm-cf5eg]

I've been playing Reach strictly *offline* since it was released. With on and off playing I've obtained Lt. Colonel 2, it feels odd ranking up in a game where nobody will ever know that I even existed, let alone played it.

[@sagenryanf5065]

Used to have an Xbox that wouldn't connect to the internet. In reach, credit earnings (in offline mode) was based on current level. The first level on legendary would only give you 50 CR, but if you were a much higher rank you would earn more. On one of my later ranks (maybe lieutenant but I can't remember) I tried it again and would get 10,000 CR for completing a level. The higher your rank and the more you unlock will lead to greater CR. LTN's math is wrong because he calculates linearly, not exponentially.

[@Marinesrock07]

Made it to 2nd Lieutenant offline, got Xbox live and it bumped me down to sgt. Now I'm back to where I was before I had live haha

[@ryocruz6140]

I remember back in the day when halo reach came out, my brother and I (first time getting a xbox 360) made two separate accounts. Since I was the primary user for the console, I inputted my account with xbox live/gold. I played online with my friends and pretty much spend most of the time playing a ton of hours in reach. Whenever i finished, my brother would log in to his account (which has no xbox gold/live) and play forge for an hour or two. I noticed one night when he was just finishing his forge sesh, his level and credits were way higher than mine, and I thought this was a bug or something. Interesting enough, my brother was just casually playing forge and was getting over 10 thousand credit by just playing for a couple of hours. Now I forgot most of the specific detail, but if I can remember, he was a colonel when i was only a captain grade 3 or major. (And I clearly had more hours played on my account than my brother's) btw, great video Luke, I really enjoyed it!
