Is there going to be an incentive for reaching higher CSR ranks like there was in H3? The main motivation for me for getting my 50 in H3 was the General rank, without these extra unlockables CSR seems kinda ‘empty’ to me. Yes, the fairer & quicker matchmaking is good but a little bit of ‘epeen’ to go with our CSR would be nice. I understand that seeing these extra ranks online would make one capable of seeing exactly what top CSR you have e.g. seeing someone with a rank of General would allow the assumption that they have a 50 in ‘a’ playlist or a rank of colonel would allow one to assume that this person has a CSR of 40-44 in ‘a’ playlist but not the exact CSR value. These are just examples but seriously, if I’m gonna grind and source out team mates to get to 50 there has to be some incentive for me to grasp on to when I run into a bad string of games and lose motivation.
THANKS
It seems as if they are doing some CSR challenges, reach LV 35 in Castle DLC to unlock a Avatar Tee. So who knows what they plan on doing in the long run to reward players who rank high.

Yeah maybe new armor pieces or emblems at the least would suffice. Offering additional unlocks to players who do rank high kind of defeats the purpose of ‘waypoint only CSR’ seeing as you could easily tell the CSR of the player with these ‘unlocks’. But just take a look at how crazy people went for Recon armor back in H3, people were dedicating their entire halo lives to getting it and once they had it they automatically had prestige over 90% of the online player base. That was one freaking helmet haha if you want people to really start dedicating time into this game, not just in forge, provide something prestigious for us to obtain like the recon armor model in H3 and CSR ranks are a good platform to do so in my opinion
I think that a reward could be all those retail pre-order bonuses that are currently unobtainable…
