DOUBLE XP IS COOL... WHAT ABOUT US SR 130

So not complaining or anythng but im just curious if 343i has anything planned for us guys who reached SR 130 and have unlock almost all the armors and stuff. I once suggested adding more things like skins or armors something and have the xp that you gain after SR130 go towards that.

But honestly perhaps SR 130 was reached so quickly because mabey Halo 5 will be released around the same time the new XBox does and then i would see why. who knows but still all my extra xp is kinda just going into limbo

WHo knows only 343i knows what is to come. ok well lets here the comments.

had a similar post. it would be cool if they had more ranks. but us 130’s have no reason to play spops anymore.

They still should of made the rank cap higher, or even better had a ranked and separate social playlist like 3.

Unless this was done with a low rank cap for a reason like the OP said.

They should make a Spartan Ops mission of just Crawler Snipes and Knight Commanders for the max level people, so we don’t have to kill ourselves to get Forerunner Destroyer.

yea i just wish the xp went to something i actualy already maxed out the knight commander i forgot what missiojn it was but in one theres a ton of knight commanders.

just wish my xp went to something i still try some challenges for fun or play for fun but it begins to get monotomous.

I really don’t see why the ranking was so quick in Halo 4 - it kind of makes all the double XP and challenge rewards meaningless.

If it had ranking like Reach I could see the point, but I suppose they didn’t want it to take so long to reach SR-130 so that people could get the full array of armor mods at their disposal relatively quickly I suppose.

They should just add re-up/prestige or something though to make the challenges and reward of double XP for playing 10 unique chapters of Spartan OPs in a weekend more desirable - as it is the whole XP rewards system in Halo 4 is dead to me now.

I haven’t even entered several classified waypoint codes yet in case something is added in future in terms of rank progression as I don’t want to potentially waste tens of thousands of XP.

Exactly! I don’t get the whole “I can’t get XP so it’s useless!” attitude

Not entirely… It all depends on if you want to go for commendations or not, plus the added goodies you get for Covenant and Forerunner Destroyer.

I’ve maxed all but the Jackal for the Covies, and all but the Crawler Snipers for the Prometheans. I like going for commendations as it shows I’m a more complete/rounded Halo player. This doesn’t mean anyone is wrong if they don’t. Just means there are other things to “shoot” for once you’ve hit SR130.

Yea i see this point my only thing is perhaps so that XP isn’t pointless have it go to something I mean eventually it would just be cool if my xp went to something i play the game for fun now but when i see all these challenges im like ok what if instead of XP i could use the challenge for like a commendation perhaps it added like 10 extra kills to the plasma pistol commendation or like 5 kills for SR 130 specific people you know. it would seem fair the ones who aren’t SR 130 they get XP towards that rank the ones who maxed out rank they get points toward a commendation of there choice nothing crazy mabye like 3 or 4 points for the daily and weekly challenges because lets face it they aint hard to do in one or two days

I only play Spartan Ops for the Covie & Forerunner 100% commendations, hell I am only at 94% on the covies & have unlocked the armor.
& I am 460 crawler snipers away from unlocking the VanGuard armor…
Once both are 100% I will not play them anymore unless a friend wants help & even then I will recommend they do them alone so to get all the kills

How about consumable cosmetic stuff to buy with xp?

> How about consumable cosmetic stuff to buy with xp?

yea that would be awesome too. i would like this.

Unfortunately there will be no new armor. Nothing announced or hinted at. 343 said well before the game came out that what’s on the disc is it for armor. When people played demos at certain conventions (I happened to be one of them at New York Comicon) they said that all the armor we could choose in the demo was all there was in the game as well. So nothing new to add.

Sad, yet when you consider how little there was in Halo 3, and no new armor being made available in Reach either, it makes sense that all the armor there is, is what we already have available to get and that nothing new will be introduced later.

Still, it’s quite an effort to get 100% commendation. Considering all that armor, emblems, etc., there is plenty enough to go for, for some time to come yet.

I don’t want to jump the gun, as I do not know if this info is related to Halo 4 or Halo 5… but I’ve heard through the grapevine that micro-transactions will be coming to Halo, which will include things such as skins.

meh…

I have 6 codes that havn’t been used yet as well, and now I’ve started trying to avoid earning commendations.

I wish 343 will just confirm if we’re getting a higher rank cap or not. Is it even possible within the coding?

I heard a while ago, just after Halo 4 came out, that they would be making the pre-order bonuses available to unlock. I’m not sure if they would be free to use or if you’d have to unlock them. But I agree, there doesn’t seem like a whole lot of stuff to unlock, and too many levels.

> Play them to have fun, you know? the whole point of even playing.

Some people’s idea of fun is to rank up. Even if it takes months to do so there is still a certain thrill one gets when they finally rank up. Even on a progression system.

If they added more specializations that would in turn force the level cap up. I’m sure we can expect that in the future.
