    Yep. I hit it for the first time about 5 days ago, and I've been hitting it every night (not intentionally) since.

    so I can actually see that it will take me 4 days to reach general.

    English class is fun.

    Mikeman, we bring this up because the amount of credit you accumulate increased by your rank.

    Once I hit Brig, I've been hitting credit caps every night.

    For example, I get a max of 210 credits when I forge. I average about 2400 credits per invasion game. 3400 credits for a regular firefight game.

    Wow, that's a big increase! I had no idea.

    I average about 800 a game of matchmaking I'd say, at Captain grade 2.

    In that case I can see the credit cap being annoying at higher levels.

    This boggles my mind since I'm averaging about 600 credits a game without challenges.

    One of these days I'll see Captain.

    They've said that the credits from daily challenges will increase to match the playerbase progression, so I imagine Bungie can also change the daily cap.

    Little late, but might as well say it; you don't have to be accepted to view the Friends List.

    Just click on the profile, and look for Friends Online, and it'll tell you who's online.

    I'll go through and accept all the Friend Requests on the backlog though.

    EDIT: Although I don't know if pending Friend Requests show up. I think they should, but that's a guess.

    Hey Local, when you select SWAT and I tell you that I don't want to play it, don't say "It'll be a quick game and then we'll do something else" and then turn your 360 off immediately post-game.

    Why is it 110,000 cR from Colonel Gr. 1 to Colonel Gr. 2?

    Why is this a thing?

    Also, I am sitting on 260,000 cR right now.

    It is taking a considerable amount of will not to buy the black visor and the EVA Skull, and just cavort around like a jackass.

    You can't stand me complaining about that one game in SWAT when your normal mode of conduct in a game is doing nothing but make statements to provoke people. Such as continually saying "We're playing this game for fun" over and over when I told you that I did not find SWAT fun. J'accuse.

    it's your consistently poor attitude. playing with you muted does little to solve the problem. you are insufferable when you are doing poorly, and since you are bad you often complain.

    Oh a less embarrassing note, I finally got the freaking Birthday Party. So little credits left, and all for some confetti and a joyous laugh upon expiry.

    I think I just played with you earlier but here's the thing with Birthday Party: It' awesome when other people have it. Allow me to tell a story.

    Grunt Birthday Party always made me smile in Halo 3, I left it on all the time. I'd love picking up a BR, strafing across from a line of Grunts, grinning like a crazy person as the confetti shoots up "Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!". When I first shot a guy in Reach and his head exploded I was like "OMG! Spartan Birthday Party!? IT CAN NOT BE! I can't handle this much joy!" But it was. And I could.

    The only thing I've bought so far is Birthday Party. From day 1 I was saving credits. Occasionally shooting people online, watching their heads explode in streamers and thinking "one day, that will be me". Sunday was that day. I purchased Birthday Party and immediately couldn't wait to die! The first death I didn't care about. By the end of the game it was still making me a little less upset about dying. My teammates loved it. "Hurray! Hurray! Matt got shot in the face! Hurray!" They used it to have a good laugh, they used it to track down the people that killed me, they used it to motivate their own game play so they could save up and buy Birthday Party.

    That was the first few games. I don't remember if they were wins or losses. The one thing I do remember is when the losses began to come.

    And Birthday Party was still there.

    SWAT game: spawn, take four steps, "HURRAY!". Continue the game, hear "HURRAY!" a dozen more times. Lose by fifteen or twenty kills. "HURRAY! HURRAY! HURRAY!"

    And Birthday Party was still there.

    Team Slayer: get locked down by the other team. They're camping elevators, stairways and choke points. Shotguns, swords, never ending supply of grenades.

    "HURRAY! HURRAY! HURRAY!"

    It taunts you. It points out your mistakes when you're at your weakest. Remember the last time you got the drop on a guy but ended up getting killed by his buddy that you never saw?

    "HURRAY! HURRAY! HURRAY!"

    Remember the time the other team was camping the top of the elevator on Reflection and you didn't want to keep feeding them kills by rushing but fuck them it's your elevator and you're going to be the one camping it?

    "HURRAY! HURRAY! HURRAY!"

    Birthday Party is spectacular when it's on the guy you just shot in the face. "That's right, HURRAY!, motherfucker. This is MY LIFT!"

    Birthday Party is soul-crushing when you lose the game winning kill to some asshole lift-camper on Sword Base.

    Just something to think about.
