From the looks of the E3 demo there are no Spartan points yet and pre-made load outs. Spartan points will allow you to buy Armor abilities, weapons, more load outs, and you may or may not earn them from unlocking achievements but you do earn them in Spartan Ops missions varying from a different amount of different difficulties. Confirmed. Spartan points have the potential to be a great idea if used right in multiplayer but we have not yet to hear any more details about it.
