I've got bad news for you.
Is there any way of progressing down a level if you keep losing in the current specialization mod you have chosen?

Game sounds interesting. Reminds me of war for cybertron

It seems people are thinking these late unlock "perks" are going to be extremely powerful, thus provide an advantage for players who have ranked up. Honestly, I don't see it as any different than CoD leveling. You get better perks as you go on in CoD, yet you have to swap that better perk with one of your other useful perks. So it may or may not be worth using that end-game perk.
I think it hinges on how these are balanced against each other. I personally doubt that max rank people are going to be donging on level 1's just because of ONE "perk."

Seems legit.
You only get Half of those things if you play MLG.
Wetworks makes only your outline appear on PV.

Not completely, you get an outline of your body instead of your whole body showing up. Will probably still be easy to see you, so pointless.
Nothing to take you off radar, there's one that makes you harder to spot with PV.
That's the problem.
Wetworks reduces your visbality on Prom. Vision. Don't do shit fo the radar though, for which i am glad.

One of the tactical/supply packages will lessen your silhouette from promethean vision
instead of a full body heat scan it will just be an outline
edit: god damn we are vulturing
desperately trying to stop the meltdown and answer legitimate questions
Overall you may be right that there won't be any uber powerful perks, I just don't like how it is just another layer of unpredictable randomness that I don't want in my Halo. I am becoming more ambivalent about this game as it gets closer to launch.
They release stuff that sounds bad, then some stuff that sounds like it could be good, then some more stuff that sounds bad....
I am starting to think in my head "Well at least there will be good custom games, right?"

So Bad
It's a very trying time to be a Halo fan. The Reach situation the last few months and now news that I could have a waypoint over my head just for killing my enemy in a shooter game. Or have a team of 8 in BTB with the stay in scope perk enabled raining down unanswerable death with 3x zoom DMR's. Or have my opponent choose rockets every time on his Personal Ordnance 3x fruit machine token. The quitting and idling in this game will make Reach look mild in comparison.

Preview of people's faces a few seconds into that first match on the Classic playlist where it turns out it's vanilla reach gameplay.

Why?
Just funny watching the thread. I get it that we're confused, and people want answers, but the amount of jumping to conclusions in here is pretty funny. People act like 343 hasn't been developing this game for 3 years now, like they haven't thought of most of the issues that are being brought up here. Just make me laugh to see people using their assumptions as fact.
I think it goes to show 343 that they (or MS I guess) need to work on content delivery and information flow, as Bungie was able to mitigate confusion to a point, but still.

Two month break from Halo and this is what I come back to?
I enjoyed Superman 64.
Must be a junior thing.
While BO2 has made some HUGE strides to accommodate social media AND the competitive community, it doesn't negate the fact that Halo 4 is looking like it's going to evolve more than ever. At the end of the day my only request is that we are ALL playing the same game. As much as I want a "classic" Halo type of playlist - it would split the game into two. I want everyone on the same page - new additions or not.
The biggest issue is clarification on these issues imo.

Why can't Reach be any good at all? Just for the next 2 months plz? Jesus christ it's awful.
I played it two different sessions today for the first time in a month, horrible.

Years ago? Try 2011. You know, when Anniversary came out. And by the same developer that's making Halo 4, under the same publisher, the publisher that determined the DLC release schedule for both 3 and Reach.
I got over it by electing to not purchase 4's DLC until after it's all out and on a holiday sale. I bought Halo 3's DLC day 1 because I wanted them to keep it coming. Then we had to wait for two separate game releases just to get the last DLC. Figuring that MS wouldn't do it again, I bought Reach's DLC day 1 (again) because I wanted to say "Hey! Steady content! I like this, give us more!". And then we had to wait until another Halo game came out to get the final pack 9 months after Defiant, while other FPSes got steady content, and you barely get to play the content you bought. It's not a matter of how long the maps had to wait after they were done, it was the fact that you already bought the damn game the maps were for, but had to wait for another game to release before you could buy them.
If Halo 4's third DLC pack (because we already know it has at least 3 packs coming) actually comes out in a normal timescale and not schedule-locked to another game, I'm going to be impressed. Until then, nobody should be in a rush to buy it, as the final Halo 3 content, all of Reach's content, and all of Halo Wars' content showed, MS is not going to drop the price any time soon anyway.
You can map when Halo had good DLC scheduling to bad scheduling from the point Peter Moore left and Don Mattrick was hired.

Comment of the century.
So what you're saying is, "What's the point of actually trying to be stealthy if I can't pick a perk that automatically does it for me."

Hey No, This is the time when we have to overreact and hate on the game before we have played it.

No, this is the PERFECT time for that.
No, you can combat the radar by crouch walking. It seems nothing cancels out forerunner (promethean now I guess) vision completely

No, he is talking about people seeing him using PV, it seems wetworks won't counter it completely (you can still be seen)

Ld2K and Soph Ein are two examples of casuals. They both liked Reach and like these ideas. Because they will never get too into the game to see all the intricacies that make things bad. These people will love Halo regardless of what it becomes. Then leave. While were here begging for the changes to make the game better.
