That was bugging me.
Nearly at Grade 3. Although I havn't really played much of Reach today.
I'm about 37k away from Lt. Colonel, and I have 250k+ cR at the moment. I'm making steady progression with minimal boosting. The only commendation that I've boosted so far is splash damage in campaign. I'm not boosting any more of anything because that's really lame and just ruins the game IMO.
Reach Xbox LIVE playlists have been updated!
Our first Halo: Reach post-launch playlist update has been successfully deployed to Xbox LIVE. This update addresses a variety of issues in addition to tweaking some of the existing core gametypes and playlists.
Please note that this is just the first of many updates. Our team continues to work on improving the Reach online experience and we're always listening to your feedback and reviewing the voting and game data we get from our servers. Reach will just keep getting better! As always, we welcome your feedback in our Optimatch forum here on Bungie.net.
Also note that we have another small update happening later this month (either 10/12 or 10/19 pending final test pass) that will enable campaign matchmaking. And for everyone out there who doesn't love Infection as much as the rest of the players, don't fret, we have plans to move Infection into its own "Living Dead" playlist later this month.
Lastly, in addition to everything listed below, today's update also makes some tweaks to the betrayal system. Hopefully players will feel it's a bit more 'fair' now and it shoudl behave closer to what you're used to in Halo 3.

Thank fuck for that. Always seemed to get spawn trapped when I was on one of the teams since the other team could get height advantage. Can't remember if it was red or blue who got the better spawning. I think it was Blue.

They need to remove snipers from Team slayer in the competitive playlist. Period. It fucking sucks, and it needs it's own playlist like Halo 3.

They's be working on it.
That was a great post. Right Zach?
Forgive me for sounding like an arrogant douchebag, but I'm now on the last mission on Legendary, and again, the last couple of missions I've done have been way too easy.

Completed Legendary solo campaign. Only frustrating parts of the last mission where those overshielded Elites with the Concussion Rifles and the very last part of the mission with the MAC cannon, but other than that it was pretty simple.

I hoped to get some angrier responses. It's just my trolling nature. I guess I was just late to the party.

Fuck you. </3
Just got to Major Grade 1.
They aren't raising the rank cap for another month or two. But your credits stack so once the cap is lifted you might level up several times. Honestly I don't mind that much because I am still working towards Major.
Thnx for the sig ParadoxVoid
i look like a ballplaya
Max rank lols.
Going to hopefully completely bypass Commander or more when they raise the cap.

I finally got to Lt. Col. yesterday and my last 10 G in this game. Now to see if Bungie releases new content/achievements or if I should just move on.

Based on Bungie's history with every Halo except for Halo 1 Xbox (before xbox live) they have released new maps and continued to support the game for at least a couple of years.
Whats the best method for ranking up. I'm going through the Campaign on Legendary so no sword base farming for me?

And ODST. There's still online support, but I don't recall them being to big on DLC for that.
Reading through a recent update they're going to try and get community maps into the rotations which would be sweet to play on. It makes me wish I had the creativity to make these maps and the friends to play on them with.

I'm getting my 360 back in 2-3 days (RRoD) but I brought Reach to my friend's house last night. We played one game of multiplayer, went to change our characters, and the game froze, and then HIS 360 got RRoD too. Reach didn't cause my 360 to freeze, I actually didn't have the game yet, but since Bungie said, and proved that they were pushing the limits of the 360, is there anything I should be careful of while playing Reach like overheating? My Xbox is in a good, non-cluttered area, but I just want to be sure. Should I lie my Xbox horizontally or stand it up vertically? I know there's a lot of questions, but I just want my Elite to last a long time before it blows out again, so thanks to any answers.

When you get your xbox back, put Reach in, but don't play it, instead (when it shows the option) press why and go to "Install Game" which will install it to your hard drive and make it load faster,run smoother and your xbox won't be as loud.
Anyways anyone have any advice on how to get a good amount of credits? cause i'm trying to get 50k creds so i can buy the blue visor, but i don't know how to really gain credits besides playing the campaign on legendary. Even then i only get anywhere from 1000-2000 CR. Also i DO NOT have XBL so don't tell me anything that has to do with online play.
Bringing back old shit.
I've got a question; Is forge world the only map that you can play forge in or are there also other forgeable maps?

You can forge in any multiplayer map. (No firefight)

Yes, you can forge on any of the MP maps, but Forge World is the only one that has ALL of the forge objects. Forge World pretty much made every other map useless when it comes to forging.
Forge world restricts everything you can have in the wall department to 50.
I am disappoint. Hugely.

Stunt ramps under "inclines" and various objects under "decorative" make fine walls.

I forgot about ODST. All I did with it was play the campaign as I viewed it as a glorified DLC.
