As of today I have a Spartan Rank of 130. As soon as I achieved that I thought “right, now I’ll get cracking on this week’s campaign challenge”. Half way through driving the Covenant out of Infinity’s maintenance corridors I realised that the XP I receive for doing this is pointless. It won’t do anything. Then I realised that once one has achieved rank 130, many aspects of Halo 4’s multiplayer that we strive towards is futile. There’s no point in mastering our commendations, when that experience reward is going to bounce off our constricted level cap.
I hope that this is only a temporary level cap, and eventually we will be able to advance beyond level 130, maybe with new specialisations, maybe not. But I yearn for the days when we can say “that guy is level 993; he’s only seven ranks away from having no life whatsoever”.
This is why many of use just preffer the 1-50 ranks in gmae, si we have something to ALWAYS strive for. Although I wouldnt say its all lost, those commendations give you some new armor and armor skins as well as new emblems. So you are likeme and like showing off you wokr hard for something try mastering the Covenant Loadout or something.
I played Halo 3 about a month ago and there was one guy on there with over 30,000 legit EXP. I’ve never understood why the levels don’t just keep increasing in Halo 4. SR130 has absolutely no psychological impact to it
The way they set up the ranking system in halo 4 doesn’t make sense. It’s like they don’t want people once they hit mastery
Seriously, why 130? Even if there are no more perk unlocks why not just let the ranks keep increasing? Remember how long it took for people in Reach to achieve the highest exp level?

I’m hoping that they’re keeping a future update secret; one day we’ll start up Halo and be greeted by a message saying that our Ranks are now limited to 999 (or whatever), and any experience we have earned between hitting Rank 130 and the update has been added to out total.
I felt like I was finished at 90SR nothing I thought I wanted or needed after it. I felt like Pioneer was a waste of space I don’t intend on picking it till I have nothing left to go for.
It be cool if they had a whole new set of perks that are just for fun maybe based on some skulls.
