Armour,Visors,effects question.

First of are there Armour effects in halo 4?

And second, Do you unlock Armour by credits or rank?

Like for the red visor, You need 1 million credits ( for example)

Or like this, For the red visor you need to be level 30-50( for example )

Or is it going to be combination? You need 1 million credits and level 30-50?

  1. Nope.
  2. Credits (EXP now) rank you up, when you rank up, you unlock Spartan Points which you use to purchase armour pieces to my knowledge, or that may be for guns, AAs & other things only.

We haven’t been detailed on if ranks will be needed for armour, but some of it is unlocked via achievements, weapons will be unlocked via rank, with a Spartan Point purchase needed.

So, You start lets say with a carbine and the pistol? And you can unlock Battle rifle, Light rifle… and all the other primary’s and secondary’s by getting spartan points? And then use them to buy one?

There hasn’t been anything like Armor Effects in Halo 4 nor have they’ve been shown off in the sneak peaks in the Halo 4 Armory. Just armor, skins, and what not.

You unlock new stuff (weapons, skins, armor, visors etc) in Halo 4 by reaching new levels and something about Spartan Points (i keep being told it’s not in the game or it is, so not really sure). It’s a 1-50, non skill based progression system. It goes like this.

EX: SR-1 or SR-40

SR stands for Spartan Rank, which will indicate your current level with a numbered value based upon how much experience you’ve gained in your Infinity career. Experience gained in Spartan Ops and War Games is interconnected; Whatever you earn (exp, weapons, armor, visors, skins etc) in one mode carries over to the next and vice versa.

However, if you want the Mark VI helmet and Legendary visor (Master Chiefs visor color) you need to complete the game’s Campaign on Legendary.

Yes, although, I’ll have to let someone else clarify this, I haven’t even heard Spartan Points mentioned since the Gameinformer magazine.

Just to remind you also, there will be pre-set loadouts on each maps, which will suit the playstyle of that map, you in theory, you could be using a Battle Rifle at SR-01, even if the unlock requirement is SR-05 for your only custom loadouts.

You’re very helpful. Thanks for clearing that up.

Also FYI I believe the Cortana quote in your signature has been misquoted. I think it’s “Don’t make a girl a promise if you know you can’t keep it.” Perhaps with a comma or ellipsis after “promise”. Not trying to be annoying or anything (or maybe you want it that way I’m not sure), just thought I’d let you know :slight_smile:

So when in lobby in halo 4 are we be-able to see the ranks of the players?

You’re the second person to mention it, it is actually correct, but not for the Halo 2 quote, in the Making Halo 4: A Hero Awakens Part 1, Cortana says “Don’t make a girl a promise, you can’t keep.” at the very end, a lot of people missed it because it plays directly after the ‘Made by 343 Industries’ stuff.

Looking at this image, you can’t see SR ranks or the ‘ranked’ ranks, but Frankie said recently that they were deciding if they would make ‘ranked’ ranks viewable by others or hide it to just the player.

Why not make a poll.

Let the people decide?

When I said that, I meant more past tense, the last we heard of the ‘ranked’ ranking system, they were still deciding, the game went gold last week, so they’ve likely already made their decision and will share it with us when ready.

Ah okay, Well it isn’t a big deal for me. It’s always nice to show off with your rank.
