Boost That Halo 3 Rank For Some Cash October 14, 2007

How much is your Halo 3 rank worth to you? A resourceful person who goes by CaLL mE nEoN is offering to improve your Halo 3 stats in exchange for a monetary reimbursement. He has a variety of services you can select from (surprisingly enough your mom is not one of them) from unlocking achievements to boosting your rank to raising your skill level to giving you actual lessons on playing the game.

Are you an achievement whore? He can get you up to 500 achievement points for $23. Let’s do a breakdown of what this person is making per hour. My noob-ish guess for the easiest way to attain 500 achievement points for Halo 3 would be completing Campaign on normal (280 points for simply completing each of the 9 individual levels, then getting an additional 125 points for “Campaign Complete – Normal”) yielding a total of 405 points. If you grab all the skulls along the way to add another 90 points on top of that and get 5 kills with the needler for the last 5 points, you will then have a nice even 500 point boost. Let’s give a generous 8 hours for completing that. According to my rough estimates, CaLL mE nEoN would make approximately $2.88 an hour. With each time he solves the campaign though, he will get quicker and more efficient at it, upping his hourly worth. Here is his breakdown for Prices and Gamerscore :

10 GS $2 175 GS $13
25 GS $3 200 GS $15
50 GS $5 250 GS $17
75 GS $7 300 GS $19
100 GS $9 350 GS $20
125 GS $10 400 GS $22
150 GS $12 500 GS $23

 

What if you aren’t an achievement whore but you are looking to boost your level? The highest level he offers is a 35 in Team Slayer. Lone Wolves and Double Team are capped at 30. If someone is unable to attain those levels themselves, then what do they do once someone else has boosted them up? They can’t play that particular playlist anymore if they can’t compete within that skill level, otherwise their rank that they paid precious money for will instantly go back down. So you are paying someone to make sure you can never play that particular matchmade game again? Makes sense to me. Here is his breakdown for skill level :

LoneWolves

Level 15 $3
Level 20 $5
Level 25 $7
Level 30 $10

 

Team Slayer

Level 15 $2
Level 20 $4
Level 25 $6
Level 30 $8
Level 35 $12

 

Team Doubles

Level 15 $3
Level 20 $5
Level 25 $7
Level 30 $10

 

If you are overly obsessed with the picture next to your gamertag on Halo 3, there is also a list of prices for ranks. Want a beautiful silver star? That’ll be $18. Looking for three shiny silver stars? That one will be $25. Want a single gold bar? Well that’s free. Here is his breakdown for ranks :

Recruit Free G. Sergeant $8
Apprentice Free Lieutenant $10
Private Free Captain $13
Corporal $1 Major $15
Sergeant $4 Colonal $25

 

He also gives lessons for singles and teams on how to improve your game. He doesn’t list his gaming resume anywhere though so it’s hard to tell how good your teacher will be. Plus, for the crowd that is attracted to this proposition, I doubt they actually want to take the time to learn. That is much too complicated considering they can hand over a 20, take a nap, and have all the work done for them.

Is there an audience for these services? Apparently so as the post claims to have already gotten results for a handful of people. I can’t knock someone for attempting to make money by playing their favorite video game. However, what about the people that are purchasing these services? How has it gotten to the point that achievements and ranks can actually be given a monetary value? Do the achievements, ranks, and levels still hold any significance if somebody else has to get it for you? I think the answer is obvious on that one. Now go play Halo. Yourself

I am so close to commander it is sick! Lonewolves is a dog eat dog world when you all try to rank up, then we get the freakin bridging punks that kill your signal for 5 seconds of glory! If you can get me up to Commander I’d be happy! And would pay for it!

also sorry but my e mail is halosniper111@yahoo.com

33. Tim - July 27, 2008

You guys are retarded. If you boost to level 50, you will only ever play against other level 50’s who legitimately are that good. You will get owned over and over until you have lost any good taste for the game, even in social matches (truskill makes sure of that for the most part). You will have way more fun if you do the work yourselves – if you can call it that – and play games where you have a chance of winning. Go read a strategy guide and practice if you want it that bad.

34. Booster - August 22, 2008

I can boost anyone to whatever rank they want just msg me on my boosting acc the name is Boostn4oneMonth i want more than a 1 month though my other acc is a 50

Msg me on what you would like and how much you will pay. I am a general grade 2 with a 50 in every playlist. I played pro mlg. Hit me up.
