1 cR.




No, that is not a typo. ONE CREDIT. But that is completely on par with the difficulty of the challenge. What the fuck? What did I say the other day? I need to be on the board to make the challenges for this and 4. This was stupid. But I did it to increase the number of challenges I have completed and the number of days I have completed ALL challenges. But this one is still bogus.

Cannon Fodder

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 50 infantry-class foes in the Campaign today - Complete.
2000 cR.




I am now putting more time back into reach. I need to get promoted and finish some stuff on there before I can concentrate on 4. However, I also need to complete Anniversary, do ODST on Legendary, unlock some 3 armor, and ther are achievements all around un-achieved.

Destroyer of Grunts

4: Spartan Ops Weekly Challenge. Kill 100 Grunts - Complete.
2500 XP.




Yeah, real challenge. And no pay off. Almost done with Covenant Kill Commendations.

All That Glitters

Reach: Custom Challenge. Earn 800 Medals in Firefight Matchmaking - Complete.
10,000 cR

Cannot make Medals and Headshots at the same time. Bummer.
Note to self. Kills of Enemy: 600 grunt infantry is not possible in 3 hours on Gruntpocalypse, nor will it earn 10k credits if it were. Find a new enemy and be happy with some cR number that is possible in 3 hours since you will be killing them anyway.

Blastin' and Relaxin'

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach - Complete.
2343 cR




Not so difficult, since I have set up for myself challenges for 800 medals and 600 grunt infantry.
You know out of over 100 enemies in Gruntpocalypse there are 40 or less infantry? I think I fucked that up. Oh well.

Juggalos for Halo

After my last post it came to my mind that I resent the corporate connection between Halo and Mt. Dew,
I hereby form the Coalition of Halo Players for Faygo. I want all you Juggalos and all your other Faygo lovers out there who play Halo to join up with me and help make Faygo the official beverage of Halo.

"I said FAYGO! FUCK Mt. Dew!"
That shit is just NASTY!

Credits for Completion

Reach: Daily Challenge. Complete 4 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - Complete.
2400 cR.




So this comes as a bonus of only 600 cR per game we play. I am sure I can compare that and find it completely out of whack with other such challenges. And only 4 games? Yeah, that is a hardship. Really guys, come up with some better shit.

In Halo 5 I want there to be a standard block of challenges for the day plus special AND custom. But the daily benchmarks should be like 100, 250 and 500 players. Kill each of those levels and get a bonus. 500, 1000, 3000 enemies (other than players) and get extra bonus. And so on. And each day have special ones created. 14 kills with shotgun, 10 banshees, whatever.

Yeah, 343, I will happily sit down and dream these up for you. I'll be the Head Fucker In Charge of the challenges department. I can designate these levels for everything in a few weeks and have it balance AND I will provide you a whole months worth of weekly and daily challenges in under a week. I'll even do it for minimum wage plus faygo!

Up Close and Personal

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 5 enemies with close quarters combat in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - Complete.
2343 cR



Thank the GODS the shotgun counts and CQC. I got two beatdowns, one assassination, and two shot gun kills. I was actually not going to stress over this challenge and just go for the 4 games today. I am glad I got it. See you all on the field.

Showtime

Reach: Daily Challenge. Earn 5 assists in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - Complete.
1250 cR




This was a bitch to pull off. Thankfully the sniper rifle helped.

Covenant Slayer

4: Commendation
I got the Commendation for Covenant Slayer. I clicked off all the nice little check boxes for the types of Covie enemies to kill. There are still more to be tallied for the general classifications of Grunts and Jackals, however, the specific ones for this Commendation have been met.

Creeping and Crawling

4: Spartan Ops Weekly Challenge. Kill 200 Crawlers - Complete.
4000 XP




This one took quite a bit, but earlier this week I was just going through Spartan Ops in order trying to rack up more kills of everything. Then I went back to Episode 2 Chapter 5 - Gargarin. That place had approximately 100 Crawlers for the kill.

I am the 99 Percent

4: Spartan Ops Weekly Challenge. Kill 75 Elites - Complete
4500 XP




Not so much the XP as wanting to get all my kill scores completed.
And if anyone has actually read any of this, REGICIDE is not gone, thank the Gods. It is now an option in the Rumble Pit. And after playing 4 games in there, Regicide was all we chose. So I imagine KotH is in there somewhere.
But I am still uber pissed off that there are no Waypoint challenges available yet. I don't even need the XP, I just want them to finish what they started. 343, GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES!

T-Hug It Out

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 7 enemies with close quarters combat in a Multiplayer Matchmaking game - Complete.
2400 cR



Glad to have these extra credits for one game of Blargball.

One Spartan Army

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 250 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - Complete.
3500 cR




Wow, they are not putting too much effort into Reach any more. Or even in 4. If they are fucking with us this bad after 4 is only 9 months old, then 5 had better change the world.

Demon

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 50 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking - Complete.
2000 cR




Surprisingly this took me 3 rounds in a 4 man team. But being on a quest to use sticky grenades as well made it fun to watch them pop.

Blast Radius

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 40 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with grenades - Complete.
1000 cR



This was a nice fun game of Tag.

One Spartan Army

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 250 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - Complete.
3500 cR




Glad to get this done and get paid.

T-Hug It Out

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 7 enemies with close quarters combat in a Multiplayer Matchmaking game - Complete.
2400 cR



Easy enough with one game of Grifball. Earned nearly 7k total for that game, as we won.

Third Eye

Reach: Custom Challenge. Earn 200 Headshots in Firefight Matchmaking in under 3 hours - Complete.
10,000 cR



This is my old stand by to build credits. 10k is the largest you can make for one challenge. I have to remember to make a 10k Earn Medals prior to this one specific medal. It is very hard to earn 1 and 2 million credits for those last couple things in the armory.

Kill em all

Reach: Custom Challenge. Kill 200 Grunt Infantry in under 3 hours - Complete
2550 cR




When I am already playing gruntpocalypse to rack up headshots, this was a good one. I did not set it at 600 like the headshots because I am not certain how many are Infantry vs Leader or Hero. Next time I will put it up to 400 or so and see if I can actually get that many in 3 hours.

Blast Radius

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 40 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with grenades - Complete.
1000 cR



Easy enough. Just throwing some plasma while I rack up headshots in Gruntpocalypse.

Destroyer of Grunts

4: Spartan Ops Weekly Challenge. Kill 200 Grunts - Complete.
4000 XP




Ok, this one took a while to get done. But I liked it.

Harvesting Hunters

4: Spartan Ops Weekly Challenge. Kill 20 Hunters - Complete.
4000 XP




Now, as I am already maxed out on level, it makes little sense to be putting this much effort into 4. I am actually very unhappy with 343 right now for making football helmets for Spartans and for taking away my Regicide. However, I want to get my 100% kill rate on all enemies as well. I will put more effort into Reach shortly. But right now, in Covenant all I am missing is Hunters and Jackal Majors for completion of kills. Promethians I need to work on all around, but I'm getting there. On we go.

On another issue, I wonder what the game play will be like for Destiny. I am very much looking forward to putting my time back on a Bungie project. I may need a whole new blog.
