Talk:Rank (Halo: Reach)

What the hell? You buy ranks? O.o Matt 2108 00:13, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, you rank up whenever you earn the given number of credits shown. And please avoid using informal language and smileys on talk pages. Mmm... Jackal Stew 14:19, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Name

 * It seems pretty informative to me. Do you have a better one? -Relick 08:13, 7 November 2010 (EST)

Inheritor
How the hell do you get 20 million credits??!?!?!?!?


 * With a lot of patience and time. It's not meant to be done in two months flat. "And please avoid using informal language and smileys on talk pages." -Relick 08:13, 7 November 2010 (EST)

Rank Origins
As far as I can tell, from Recruit to General Grade 4 are Human ranks, Field Marshall is a Covenant rank and all the others are just "other" ranks. Can someone correct me if I am wrong? Is Field Marshall maybe classed as part of the "other" or Human? - Relick 03:34, 2 December 2010 (EST)

You are correct. Field Marshall is only known as a Covenant rank in Reach, though IRL there is such a military rank. DatrDeletr 07:52, 2 December 2010

why did we erase the link to highest player

Cheater
Okay guys, you know that profile we have linked on the page.Well I was just doing some math and I was curious what the highest amount of credits you could have which is 5 688 000.His total ammount of credits is 6 633 837. That is 945 837 credits over the maximum.Do the math your self.Withere this guy cheated or there is a glitch in the syestem.Jamesgg521 23:50, 21 December 2010 (EST)

Should we keep the link and trivia about the highest global rank or no? 22:59, 13 February 2011 (EST)


 * Nah, I don't think we should, Rank in Reach is just a measure of time spent playing, doesn't really prove anything. There's no real reason to give this guy special recognition. Alex T Snow 01:16, 14 February 2011 (EST)

offline level cap
if you dont have online what so ever, how would a offline player get past the old level cap of lt colonel?
 * There is no rank cap offline, nor any cR cap from what i've experienced so far. Solokiller 13:35, 3 January 2011 (EST)

So im planning to buy xbox live soon and ive never had it before,if my rank is captain grade 1 right now how many ranks am i gonna lose as soon as u join xboz live???
 * Most likely not... and do sign your post... But Im still rather confused. Do offline players get past the old level cap (Colonel)? S331 01:46, 18 January 2011 (EST)

Yes, they did get past Lt. Colonel Grade 3 before the cap was lifted. No daily credit cap either.--One who survived 13:17, 3 February 2011 (EST)


 * Thanks, so if I don't have XBox Live, I CAN still get to the Inheritor rank, and more than 120,000 (the daily cR cap according to the article) cR per day? Just making sure there isn't any communication mistakes... S331 20:22, 5 February 2011 (EST)

Deleted Trivia

 * The Commander Grade 3 rank insignia lacks the two grade bars in-game.
 * There are a total of 50 ranks available in Halo: Reach. The first is Recruit and the last rank is Inheritor. The 7 symbol ranks (44 - 50) reference the 7 symbols ranks of Halo 2 (44-50).

Is that not worth mentioning on the article anymore? - TheLostJedi  16:40, 19 February 2011 (EST)


 * Hmm, not the 50 ranks bit, but the Commander: Grade 3 bit should still be there. Alex T Snow 05:11, 20 February 2011 (EST)

is it true that after captin your match bonus gets increased?173.72.176.134 00:03, 30 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Yeah it's true, you earn a higher "game complete" bonus as your rank ascends. Please use Bungie.net's or 343 Industries' forums for this kind of discussion though. Talk pages' specific purpose is for discussing improvements to articles. - TheLostJedi  19:23, 12 March 2012 (EDT)

armor
it says on the page that if i were to play offline and rank up that i'd lose some ranks and credits when i go back online, would i also lose armor parts that i bought with those credits too?--98.18.67.101 02:48, 1 May 2011 (EDT)

That's worrying to me. I don't have LIVE yet and I worked hard for those credits and Ranks. --Felix-119 04:37, 1 May 2011 (EDT)

And does anyone know if you lose armor that you have unlocked and bought when you go down a rank? And if bungie are going to see to the issue? --Felix-119 11:48, 2 May 2011 (EDT)

This may be late to be helpful but, I didn't lose anything I had already bought (granted i was only only a Warrant Officer). You may need to reequip everything, but that may have been a fluke for me.MasamuneWolf 11:28, 25 June 2011 (EDT)

Trivia Addition
Should it be added that the rank icon for Legend is strangely smaller than the Hero rank icon, when the Legend rank icon is simply flames added to Hero rank icon?


 * I haven't seen those two, but that sounds trivia worthy. Alex T Snow 00:54, 23 June 2011 (EDT)
 * The cause of this is the addition of flames to the Legend insignia. If you compare the two images, the fire extends beyond where the parameters for the Hero insignia would end. The Lt. Colonel, Grade 1 insignia is slightly smaller than the Lt. Colonel insignia, due to the inclusion of a grade bar. I don't feel neither statements are worthy trivia. But good spot anyway. ;) - TheLostJedi  19:08, 12 March 2012 (EDT)

Credit Earning
''As the player levels up through the game they will notice that they will start to earn credits faster. For example when the players rank is Captain they will earn about 4000 credits a hour, however when the player's rank is Commander they will earn about 9000 credits a hour.''

This was unsourced and is not in depth enough to be of note. Earn more how? The time based, the Jackpots, what? -- DKong Talk Cont 23:52, 1 July 2011 (EDT)


 * I'm fairly certain this is false. What ends up happening goes as followed: fewer credits are earned from commendations (because there are fewer left), but more credits are given for game completion. So really, the number stays about the same. pestilence   Phil,  pestilence!  23:55, 1 July 2011 (EDT)

Image Sizes
Does anyone know where to obtain higher resolution images for the rank insignias? They're only 40x40, which is inconveniently small compared to the 400x600 images for the Halo 3 insignias. The only versions I've seen have come from Bungie.net.


 * You're in luck. Since 343 Industries have started showing stats on their website, larger sized images can be pulled from the page source (not possible on Bungie's neatly weaved Service Records). http://halo.xbox.com/Content/images/StatsImages/grades/large/47.png
 * Just change the number before .png in the URL for the image in this comment and enjoy some 90x90px images. :) - TheLostJedi  23:28, 8 March 2012 (EST)
 * Just uploaded the better images to the article. - TheLostJedi  23:14, 10 March 2012 (EST)

Graph
That graph needs to be redone/made larger. It's indecipherable--210.56.81.72 00:53, 13 August 2011 (EDT)
 * I agree. Also, the 7th Anniversary thing still shows up when viewing this article.--210.56.88.8 17:16, 12 December 2011 (EST)

Sudden Drop In rank
Hey while I was playing reach one day, I was a captain, grade 1. The Next day, BOOM! I was back to recruit, does this happen to anyone else? Anyone know to fix this ******* problem? PleaZe Help
 * It's a glitch. It has happened to me too. Also please be civilized when writing comments on talk pages.-- Commander  Halofan1234  ( I say   the cabal   does not exist ) 22:59, 11 December 2011 (EST)

Ok, Then does anyone know how to fix this?

New Credit Cap?
It was mentioned in the Waypoint forums that the credit cap is now around 200k/day. Does anyone have a source to verify that?--CaptainRaspberry 20:12, 7 September 2012 (EDT)
