Legendary Ranks - Ranks past SR 130

Games Other Halo
1

Ive noticed that a bunch of people are getting to SR 130 these days. I eventually will and like others, will probably want to keep ranking up. Personally I guess I dont really care. When I get to SR 130 I wont stop playing matchmaking, going for A high CSR and commendations will be enough to occupy me. But what about XP? Once past SR130 its kind of useless, and so will be getting those weekly and monthly challenges people like myself like going for. Its a big part of this games multiplayer that is just put aside once you reach SR130.

What I propose is 10 more ranks past SR 130. Similar in Reach as there were 10 ranks past general grade 4. There wasnt much to go for, except for a cool Rank emblem and a new rank name. I had no reason to get to legend in halo reach but I enjoyed the grind getting there from field marshall (legend was my original goal for Halo reach)

How to put this in halo 4
People sugges lt adding new specializations with more armor unlocks, but I cant honestly see that. Armor has never been added in the past that wasnt already in the game. Something as simple as changing a number cant be to hard can it?

Specifics
Every rank past SR 130 would take increasingly more XP to get. Now once you complete every specialization, instead of saying “SPARTAN IIII” or say “WETWORK” it says “EVERY SPECIALIZATION MASTERED” if there were to be ranks after SR 130 it would say something like… SR 131 “FIELD MARSHAL”
Also lets look at CSR, we could possibly have a HALO 3 styled ranking system with the combination of CSR and what SR 130 - SR 140 would be called. In halo reach me and my friends called the ranks after General grade 4 “Legendary Ranks”
And lets face it. SR 130 is an akward number anyway.

Honestly, I don’t think 343 will make something like this in Halo 4. But its just a thought. What do you guys think?

the SR system its very bad i havent never completed a halo multiplayer rank i reached noble on reach and mayor( i think) in Halo3 we need more ranks and now lame number it would be cool but maybe imposibble but i would like to eliminate the SR system and fussion halo 3 with reach ranks have mayor warrant officer and general brigader all of those as your main rank and have the halo 3 system in every playlist

I’d like more ranks added so I have more incentive to do challenges.

I don’t believe more specializations are needed though, some classic armor might be neat.

That and specializations are the equivalent of SR41-SR50. With ranks like we had in Reach, XP will still always be needed. Though I did prefer Halo 3s ranking system.

Seeing as how most players (at least the ones that come here) are not impressed by rank based on experience, I’m pretty sure the focus will immediately switch to the CSR, which will undoubtedly be more military style.

Personally, I’m only interested in unlocking specializations in order to find out what works for me. I could care less about the rank. I’m not sure how many more specializations they could come up with, and I wonder if adding any more would be worth the effort.
