* Unlocked via Specializations

Interesting that the Mods are all 1 point each


So that leaves 52 SP to be able to completely unlock everything

They said in the bulletin everything will be available by SR-26, and you can buy everything by SR-50

Which is strange considering there are 2 points leftover, but in the bulletin it also says this

"At each rank, you will earn one or more Spartan Points (SP)"
Click to expand...

So idk whats up with that, there would only be 2 possible ranks where you could be granted more than 1 point or you would have an overstock (god damn halo reach)

----------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, I like this, doesnt someone have a spreadsheet of the levels that certain items are available? We should team up ;p

I think this will be a fun ascent to 50, I like the RPG element of saving points and picking things along the way.

I swear, Haven has similar melody in the beginning as High Charity Suite.

I can hear hints and echoes of Marty's soundtracks in Neil's Halo 4 tracks.

EDIT also, i will save for the Lightrifle, i won't buy either DMR or Battle Rifle at first if possible. Why buy either one when the LR is combination of them?

You're forgetting about armor. You might be able to "unlock" everything by 26 in the same vain that by the time you reached General in Reach you could "unlock" everything, but earning the cR to do so takes literally thousands of games.

Well... it has 3x scope, 4sk while scoped..
Is it hitscan?
Looks and sounds good though. Like that.

I wonder if Suppressor is worth using. Steelyuhas swears by Storm Rifle and i'm inclined to belive that. But i'd like to use either the AR or the Suppressor as my CQB weapon. When not using the Boltshot.

armor doesnt cost points, only gameplay items

When you meet the prerequisite, you will gain access to the items automatically; you do not need to spend Spartan Points.

The Suppressor looks near useless IMO. Massive spread, not hitscan, etc.

Some gameplay items cost multiple points which is important to consider.

Pay 1 point to have both DMR and BR or 2 points for AA? Its going to be a interesting trade off.

And by interesting I mean shitty and limiting.

You guys are perilously close to defending griefing as a good thing. It may be time to revisit the line of reasoning that got you there. Would it really improve the experience for Game of Thrones fans for you to throw out a three word spoiler of an event in a later book? Would telling those fans "ha!
Robb gets murdered
this season" really improve things for them? (Warning, ASOIAF spoiler.) Is it the end of the world? Nah. A serious crime? Nope. But have you increased their enjoyment? Seriously?



A huge fan of his; he's the guy that made me want to write stories. But what he's doing is something else entirely. There's no question that
he works up the reader in Dark Tower into a lather worrying Roland will die, and also works em up knowing that Eddie will.
(Dark Tower spoilers). That's different, though, it's not done of a spirit of hurtfulness, it's done through craft & it's part of the conversation b/t him and you. Joey the Troll doing drive-bys isn't part of that conversation.

I'm not defending people being dicks. I'm pointing out that research suggests it does not harm at worst and increased enjoyment at best. That's not an argument against common courtesy.

No, the Hayabusa-loving people like myself are in the minority. It's COMPLETELY ridiculous, but as a Ninja Gaiden Black fanboy, it was like discovering peanut butter and chocolate go really well together.

That's what's worrying me.
It doesn't help that the DMR has apparently faster kill time (ignoring other variables), as that shows the weapons are not created as "equal". What's the point of the Suppressor if it is worse than other choices for CQB? It certainly can't be useful at long rang.
And as a suppression weapon it would be worthless, suppressive fire just isn't a Halo thing.

It's the Blops system, which I hated. Then again, I hated the guns in Blops.

To be fair, I don't think you want 343 reminding you of the current state of affairs of the Ninja Gaiden series.

The DMR seems to be the best gun in the game. I don't see a point in using anything other than it. Except the LR. That one looks to be good as well.

4 Shot BR to balance things out? And Legacy is an amazing track.

Blops' system's only problem was that the weapons and other stuff had level requirement. Take that away and "buy your stuff" works just fine.

Any idea how long it takes to actually rank up in this game? Hopefully it is not Reach levels of slow considering the ranks now affect gameplay options.

On the contrary, Hayabusa helmet in Halo 4 will mean it gets to appear in at least ONE good game this year.

*still SUPER fuckin' salty about how bad NG3 turned out to be*

edit: and ya'll niggas forgetting you got to unlock support packages and all that, b. Support Package is like, level 10 or something.

It is pretty weird that we didn't get some of the staple armor sets in Halo 4.. Then again, given the other things that are absent I guess I am not that surprised.

I still prefer the DMR over the BR, though having the Halo 4 hitscan BR might make me change my opinion.

BR, Boltshot, Plasma, Thruster, Mobility, Dex. I'll have my full loadout before level 10.

But you'll only have 10 SP by level 10... right? That's not nearly enough to buy all that.

As you rank up, you will gain access to the Armor Ability slot (SR-3), the Tactical Package slot (SR-7), and the Support Upgrade slot (SR-12).

AR for life then?

Well, i am AR user... though not to level Fyrewulf is.
Seriously, i'll use the BR or Lightrifle, they don't have as fast ROF as the Carbine. Pulling the trigger to shoot the Carbine as fast as possible hurts, pulling the trigger to shoot the BR/DMR/LR as fast as possible doesn't hurt.
