load outs, unlocking stuff

all about halo 4

ok so i have been freaking out about this. not in the good way either. i heard that they r going to have it so that you unlock things with spartan credits or spartain points. does this mean that we have to unlock or buy an armor ability or weapon? if so how is that halo at all? it sounds like another popular game that i hate for this kind of thing. wispers call of duty. anyways do you guys think it will be like call of duty where the more you play the better stuff you can get or do you think it wil be like reach and the unlocks dont really matter they r just for looks. any info on this will really calm me down and make me hate 343 a little less.

The only weapons you’ll be able to have as you loadout will be the AR, BR, DMR, assault carbine, ect, you wont get the choice of power weapons.

I have only heard that they are only going to be letting us purchase armor permutations and armor abilities. Nothing more.

do u have any other info?

Armour permutations will have an affect on gameplay and in the GI article they said you gradually unlocked an arsenal of weapons. It does seem all a bit CoD-ish.

> I with you OP, very sceptical at the moment. I will reserve my judgement until I see some videos but at the moment it seems as though they will be sacrificing balance for the sake of customisation.

o god i hope that isnt true, i really really do. thats what the truth is looking like though…

It depends how points are earned, how long that takes, how powerful the various weapons and armor abilities are relative to one another, and a host of other factors. If buying all the loadouts takes a long time and certain loadouts give you huge advantages in multiplayer, then yes I can see it being a lot like COD. But most likely, even if points do take a while to earn, loadouts probably won’t give you a massive advantage. Personally I still don’t like it. No one should spawn with an advantage just because they’ve been playing longer. Winning isn’t fun when you know you won because you had a better weapon.

Also, and this is not meant to be critical, but your poll makes no sense. I don’t even understand what you’re trying to ask.

I will reserve my judgement until I see some more videos on it .
