I was at a LAN party at one of my friends house last night where we played 50+ custom game matches. Mainly Infection.
After every matches was over, me and only one of my other buddies got only 50 or less credits. While the other 7 people in the group got 100 – 1000 credits every match. I was top player on several occasions and still only got 50 or less credits. I even had more medals in a few matches compared to my friends that were getting more points.
I figure there may be a glitch because me and the one other buddy were on a separate hub than the rest of the group, but we still played the matches just fine.
Why was I not receiving 100-1000 credits like everyone else?

This is only a theory, but were the ones that were getting reduced credits xbox live profiles?
If a profile is an online one (AKA a gold subscription I believe) then they work on a different credit scale than that of an offline account. This is done so that offline accounts can experience all the joys of the armory easier, and online accounts can't abuse offline play to max out credits easy.
This is what I'm basing this theory on:
