FatalRaptor613 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Yesterday I decided to play Halo Reach after a while of offline gameplay (I didn't had Live for quite a while). I get a notice at the menu saying my offline credit limit has been reached. I either forfeit 50000 or my armor won't appear. I decided to forfeit the credits. Then I realized that all my armor was gone (except for my recon helmet from the preorder) and was no longer purchased. I was also demoted to Sergeant Grade 1 (I think I was Colonel before). Why the hell does it do this?! I was so pissed I stopped playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 This is actually a common problem with the game, I don't know what the need for a constant connection to Live was for (probably title updates) but it's happened to many many people who've all lost their armor as well and I don't think there's a way to get it back unfortunately.

Spectral Jester Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 this has been there since Reach started, the reason you revert to Sergeant Grade 1, is its a lot easier to rank up when playing with an account that has not had xbox live, you can earn a bomb load more credits, heck if you have an offline account that sits in forge for a week or 2, you can become inheritor. its there to stop people ranking up quickly and then going online with haunted helmet, if they didnt do this everybody would be inheritor.

Sikslik7 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Let's put it this way: You play online, and it saves your rank, unlocks, etc. When you don't play online, that info isn't saved with the online database, so when you connect, it uses the online info and rewrites your console's save. Forge maps and campaign progress are the only things not effected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guts Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 This happened to me for 1 day when I lost EVERYTHING. I went back to rookie and lost my armour but the next day went back to colonel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDM Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 This problem has happened to my friend as he too had played Halo: Reach offline for a long time, When he got live he had been de-reanked to sergeant grade 1 and had no armor. As Jester said, It is pretty much there so people can't go and sit in forge for two weeks and be max rank. Or any other gametype for that matter. It makes it so gamers legitly rank up, Yet people still find a way to boost, Which I shall not exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bashful Brute Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 The reason it does this is so people can't boost or mod offline and then convert to online with 50mil cR at Colonel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
