Credits could not be an entirely bad thing.

What Bungie did was a somewhat good and bad idea, they had credits, but made it so that was your way to rank up, with 343i they could of made it so credits go towards your Ability to purchase things in an armory and not your rank. I would say 95% of Reach players that are above the Captain rank have bought something and 99.5% of players have purchased something past the General Rank (Since some people get Inclement Weather) so upgrading your characters armor, and adding things was a part of Halo Reach and something big, well not major major big but it was big since it gave us the Ability to change our characters looks.

I'm part of the .5% of people that haven't bought something and higher than the General Rank, 7,000,000 credits and still going strong!

Plus you've seen the BR back in action, and with the Interview with Frank (The bald doode) he said it was for the Competitive, MLG types of players, which means a Competitive Halo is something we may be looking at, which means.. True Skill, an actual 1-50 Ranking Structure or a Halo 2 Type of Ranking System or a whole completely new Ranking structure is something we may have in Halo 4.

ihoe they bring credits as a way to buy things yes but if they make it so you rank up that way it will get boring very quickly playing noobs 24/7 ilike playing gamers that give me a challenge i still play halo3 because ive been a 50 since 2008 and its the only game i find competitive they should do 1 to 100 highest skill make it longer

Yeah, something like that to make it so that once people get the Max Rank, it wouldn't get them bored.

They'll want to keep on playing the game non-stop.

I think the credit idea was cool. I liked how that's how you ranked up. Although I do find it annoying how like you only get around 1500-2100 credits a match. I'm a General in Halo and I'm saving up for Security but It's taking me a while d: I would like to see credits make a return in Halo 4.
