My aunt is buying my cousin Halo 4 for christmas. I tried to advise against it but he really wants it. I want to know what will happen to him once he gets to rank 50 since it will be after deadline for Specialization, will he be screwed or they releasing them eventually?
it’s level 70
and they should let him have his codes… eventually
i haven’t got that far to find out how and when i get them
I started playing one day after the deadline so while all my friends are leveling up I have to sit around a 70 because I didn’t know I was spending $60 on a game I wasn’t allowed to play just because I bought it 2 weeks later.
They will be gradually be unlocked for all players in the months following launch. So yes they will get unlocked for everyone.

You’re still allowed to play. 
It was stated that the codes released to those who were eligible to receive the specialization codes were early access. The codes will be released to everybody globally “early early 2013” as stated by BS Angel and in bulletins. So if you haven’t gotten the code yet you have to just wait. If he gets the game for Christmas it’s likely he won’t reach 70 until the codes are released anyways. You get too free specializations and i’m sure his mom won’t let him play all the time like some people do.
