If you’re a 130 like me and have been forever. Is there any point to xp anymore? Are the ranks ever going up? seems silly to have all these challenges and not recieve xp.

I don’t think the ranks are ever going up, but you can always hope. If you are bored try aiming for some commendations, got some tough challenges there too.
seems so. but hopefully 343i have listened to us and will reveal something pretty soon.
I have stopped playing Halo 4 really. I need something to motivate me. I played until i got all the achievements, but commendations can only occupy you so long. Halo 4 custom games are quite frankly pathetic, and not even infection is here anymore, not like in the days of halo 3, where everybody played custom infection on some awesome maps.
anyway, i’m ranting here, but if 343i don’t increase the rank to motivate people like me, then more and more people will stop playing and move to the next thing.
I hope they add more ranks and increase the level cap by a lot, sometime before I complete most of the commendations please

Hopefully 343 increases the rank cap however, if they were gonna do that…some of us expect some new specializations. If 7 new specializations appear, then the rank cap will jump to 200, which IMO, would be great. Unfortunately, it will take time for that to happen.
Forget SR, forget commendations, the real challenge is getting a 50 CSR in all playlists.
Maybe there will be a Halo 4 expansion coming out semi-soon with new things to unlock? Think Halo 3 ODST.

again though, more specializations would be pointless without any perks or gear to add with all of them, even with some extras, people will max in no time at all again and more will be asked for
I think you just need for players who have mastered all specializations to be able to advance to maybe, 300 max, bit of a challenge

It would love to see a Halo: ODST 2, but I have a feeling, although i would hate to replace ODST, have one game based on Spartan Ops *have a campaign they will go by seasons every 4 or 5 months, Firefight, FF Forge, and a Theater mode.

True…especially with that SR Rank tact pack. 343 gotta do something with ranking if they want to bring players back. I really don’t know

That is like impossible on Castle DLC…

I do not think that 343 will make any more ranks because…well…they’re the company that made Halo 4. Anyways, all we can do is hope and I actually do really hope they do release more ranks.

I think the way they have structured it, the only way to feature more ranks is to add extra after the SR-130 has been achieved
in halo reach the general rank was considered by bungie to be the Max rank of the game, The Inheritor ranks purpose was only for more dedicated players who wished to continue a lot further into it
343i , SR-130 is the ‘general’ rank of halo 4, just without the extra load after
SR 130 is too easy to attain, especially early on with the double xp promotion halo 4 had, along with the Fast Track Mod and Spartan OPs giving out much more xp.
The rank is just too easy to attain and is very poor example of showing how much time a player has invested into the game. It acts as just a placeholder to unlock armor and specializations and mods.
I have two specific thoughts on the future of it.
1: 343 is planning something big or substantial as far as Spartan Ranks go for Halo 4. They want people to attain the highest rank as soon as possible becuase what they will eventually “release” will make use of it.
2: 343 didn’t give the ranks lifespan much thought or consideration in the long run. While its very obvious that there weren’t any plans to release a competitive/skill based rank for the release of Halo 4, not much thought was given to the longevity of a progression rank for Halo 4.
I’m leaning more towards number 2. Not much thought or consideration was given to the actual scope of the rank. If SR rank was there for players to unlock armor, weapons, mods and specialization then it does its job. However in the long run, it performs very poorly and gives players little incentive to actually complete challenges.
While I understand that the progression rank and economy in Halo Reach was as favorable as Halo 3’s skill based ranks coupled with experience points for winning matches, it did offer players plenty of incentive to keep playing and actually actively complete challenges in various modes of the game.

I don’t think they are planning something that big, they wouldn’t so be silly to have such an early rank cap
then have all their players leave so they can reveal more ranks later on after its been lost, seems weird to me but, I do hope for more
I don’t think the rank cap is the problem. It’s the fact that ranking up is way too damn easy, especially with all these challenges with 5-digit XP amounts and the fact that the amount of XP required basically resets every ten levels.
id like to see the rank jump to 500 with the required xp set up the same way it is now. that way itd take two days to go up ten levels meaning that even with fairly hardcore play itd take over two months to get from 130-500.
With people playing from launch (myself), double Xp Doritos/Dew promo, new double Xp spartan Ops promo, and all the challenges hod did 343 not expect people to hit 130 so fast…kid of makes them look amateur unless they do have stuff planned for the future…eventual challenges won’t even matter to 80-90% of the playing population…odd…
I hear a rumor of a prestige system coming. Maybe it’s not that bad, can’t judge it yet.

As much as I enjoy 1-50 I really don’t feel that Halo 4 is worth investing all that time.
