I played Halo 3 yesterday and I played against a guy who had around 35,000 EXP from nearly 60,000 matches. I thought I had a problem having 8,500 EXP.
Have I missed something about the Halo 4 TU? Is anything available after SR130? I don’t care about extra specialisations just an ability to keep accumulating levels.
There has been no word of additional SR levels, but you can work on Commendations.
Waypoint-exclusive CSR will launch next month for all playlists (yes, even Grifball!) so you can look forward to working on that.
A lot of Halo 4 players who are at 130 like me still continue to play for the fun 
Whats wrong with playing for fun?
Halo 3 also had playlist based EXP ranks - that was a good thing that could also come back. Showing investment in a playlist encouraged me to keep playing them.

Nothing. Vanilla icecream is good too but add some hot apple pie and you’ve got a winning combo also.
> Whats wrong with playing for fun?
nothing wrong with playing for fun in fact that’s what we all play for isn’t it ? but who are you to say what’s fun ?
130 is pathetic. There needed to be alot more ranks from the start.
If I had something to work towards I would play it more as would alot of people I know.
343 please add more ranks asap.
Add gametype specific ranks!
Like: (Commendations/progression advances it)
Infinity Slayer: SR 12
BTIS: SR 65
Dominion: SR 130
Extraction: SR 87
My theory is this…
Forge Island is released April 11th. I’m sure 343 is going to want everyone to download it as it’s a forge map and it can offer many future mp forged maps for matchmaking. If I had to guess I could see 130 going up to 200 along with this Forge Island booster pack. I’m guessing we would get a few helmets or weapon skins with it to as we level up. Something at 140,150,160,170,180,190,and 200.
I’ve been playing on my 130 and I don’t even think of the xp rank. I’d still like it to go up though as I like to know how much people have played.
Sadly SR130 is the current cap, hopfully it is raised.
What Im worried about is the XP Im getting right now.
I could be loseing the XP I would be getting from commendations, and I wouldnt dare use the new waypoint codes. I’d hate to find out I’m waisting bonus XP that could’ve gone towards my next rank.
I wish 343 will hurry up and tell us whether we’re getting new SR ranks or not.

That is so awesome!!!

That’s roughly 25-30 games of Halo 3 a day since the Halo 3 launch. That’s absolutely out of control. I loved Halo 2 and probably played about 15,000 matches between all of my accounts and I thought I played a ton. Back then I had tons of friends to play with too as everyone played Halo 2. I couldn’t see someone playing that much Halo 3. You couldn’t pay me to play even 15 games of Halo 3 a day. Between wait times he’s probably on Halo 3 for about 4 hours a day. That’s just insane and I can’t see anyone being that dedicated to anything ever. I’d have to see it to believe it.

With CSR being applied to all play lists and game modes, I think SR130 is it.
Halo Reach took to long,Halo 4 was way to quick. I think that this learning process for Halo 4 by 343i will see a better Halo launch with Halo 5. IMO,it is very hard to imagine that 343i would do nothing less than launch Halo 5 with everything in place from day 1.

While I post on these forums with this, my main gamer tag, I have actually obtained SR130 twice now and have a third account at SR42. However, I will discontinue the other two once CSR launches.
If we get a cap increase to 200…
Cue -Yoinking!- in 4 weeks time saying that there is nothing to do in the game…
exp is useless in h4

That’s why I’m taking it slow and steady 
Although I would like the cap to be released for those like me that are max rank, could go higher, but I still continue to play for two things.
I play Halo above else, to have fun.
to try and max out my commendations.
to be honest, I don’t really see an increase in rank, due to the code work that would have to be done…now back to my coffee. Happy Hunting Spartans!
The only reason I still play Halo 4 is going for 100% commendations. There really is nothing else to do. I am currently at 91%. When I finish I feel like ther will be no reason to play this game anymore.
