Specialization Codes!!!

official news: (so be patient)

The Halo 4 promotion that earned early access to all of the multiplayer Specializations if you played the Xbox 360 game by Tuesday, Nov. 20 has obviously ended. This leaves fans of the shooter wondering when will they get access. We can confirm that you’ll have to wait until Dec. 1.

“Codes will be delivered to the email address associated with your gamertag by December 1,” 343 Industries community manager Jessica Shea explained to a fan on Twitter.

This date is slightly off from the fine print that was included in the email announcing that everyone who played Halo 4 at launch would gain access to the Specializations.

“A download code will be sent to the email address associated with your Xbox LIVE account by November 30, 2012,” the message read.

wetwork doesnt seem to be an option anymore. once you select a specialization, thats the PERM name your given, smh.

gives me lots of time to nerd out on some other games and use them up a bit before i get back into gaming halo 4 hard again :slight_smile:

> wetwork doesnt seem to be an option anymore. once you select a specialization, thats the PERM name your given, smh.

Huh? When you change specialization, the name changes accordingly. It’s only when you max out your level that you’re stuck at your LAST spec name.

ya thats what i meant

As someone who has unlocked Wetwork, I can tell you right now it’s terrible, don’t know why so many people voted for it.

wetwork is nowhere near as good as people think

My only problem is that it’s still seems slightly unclear if it’s going to be “on Dec. 1st” OR “by Dec. 1st”… a small difference, but waiting is hard when the possibility of a slightly earlier release exists. I’d rather have them just nail it down to Dec. 1st and be like ‘Sorry, wait a little longer’.

the thing that sucks about these is that the actual skill isn’t unlocked until 10 lvls later. I unlocked wetwork at 50 (currently 56) so by the time I get to use the wetwork skill, i’ll already be on to the next one and classified as an 'operater"
it makes little sense imo.

I"m stuck at 70, why shouldn’t it just go up and up to 130 or 140.
Anyways, probably go back to halo 3 just because of this xp limit for people who do not purchase limited edition, Idk if this is a glitch but, But yeah i’m stuck at 70 still, why can’t i just keep going to 130, why are peeps already at 130 but i’m not aloud to be because i have to wait on a e-mail code, THIS IS FING limited!I got an idea Lets only let limited edition players reach the max rank. 343i, you’ve failed.

It’s not the fact that i wanna be up there already by now, but it sure is limited that all that experience and commendations won’t be counted for that’ are done for me won’t gain any experience, so now i’ll have to just earn xp from multiplayer which will always be the same amount anyways because they’ve capped that to. It’s nonsense jibberjabber, why can’t the e-mail the codes now? What’s the dam difference, are they still collecting the gamertags, are they trying to track down peole by phone to make sure they send these codes to the right person, why wouldn’t they just put the dam things on the disc in the first place, the specializations. What’s the point of giving limited edition buyers more advantage, when today money is all people care about, is this a test to see which buyers will buy anything? Just because it has a price tag on it. I had some fool in one game, troll me like haha your a loser, you don’t have the limited edition, I’m like are you freaking kidding me bro, I said who cares, he finally would shutup about it. It’s been a couple of weeks so i don’t remember him but here’s the thing, why would that justify him being special as in getting all specializations first just cause he spent 100 more, in my eyes they got ripped off obviously, why would the speciliazations make it worth more? So mainly people get ripped in my eyes because they get them all right away, But what is the darn point to this 343i, I would like to get a answer, a straight answer, who’s idea was this? Did people pay you more 343i to do this? To make regular buyers have to wait till December 1st. “”"" In all honesty, it’s pointless to do this and unfair to vast majority of first person shooter gamers who don’t have 40 more buck to spend on this game that turned out not to feel anything remotely same to the Halo 2/3. If ya going to continue off of Halo3’s ending then add in these perks like jetpack and hardlightshield and regeneration field which btw isn’t the same as Halo 3, even others like shielding, SENSOR increase, Halo 3 did not have these But still in the campaign for Halo4 introduces these extra abilities like it’s still Reach’s story""""" Why would you go off a game that didn’t sell as well as other did before that received BEST MULTIPLAYER of the YEAR award like HALO 2, why wouldn’t you copy HALO 2/ or 3’s Multiplayer but only add in some tweaks so game would work with DMR and the new weapons. Simply the suppressor is the exact same thing as assault rifle, but the DMR isn’t even close to the LIGHTRIFLE because the lightRIFLE doesn’t fire as fast and it’s velocity rate is just not even close. The lightrifle doesn’t do a dam thing inless your like within BR range but when i’m using it it’s like i’m just barely trying to get a hit with someone with the carbine across a map completely. Carbine is suppose to match the same dmg as the battle rifle, DMR fire rate needs a little slow down, or it’-Yoink!- detection, or hit box range compared to the BR needs a fix. BR at the ranges it worked in HALO 3 is ridiculously not same in anyway. You said the game would be Halo 3 continued, in Halo3, i do not ever remember having no speed boost or dmg boost, nor even a jetpack on Halo 3 guys. Reach in some way’s feels better then halo 4. Hit detection works, they fall dead when they should even. Speed boost and dmg boost need to go, overrshield just needs to be placed on the map. Grenades need to be placed on the map, Resupply should just happen, it should not have to be used by some extra perk thing. Sensor radar is too big. There should be ammo on the map, main ordinance drops to happen like they should. I’m always seeing ordinance on my map before i can ever get to them they are gone taken by someone else. Almost as if ppl have already mapped out random ordinance drops random respawns for every map. There is a specialiaztion for this but why would this be anyfair to a franchise that’s loved for not having Call of dutyish or bf3 type perks. Halo was about using obstacles, making the corrrect crouch jumps, using the terrain to help you win, not sprint nor jetpack! My god. Wish i can pick up halo 3 somewhere real cheap someday instead of having to pay 30 for it on the XBL Store.

wow ^^ thats a rant.

ps im stuck @ 70 also. im not playin anymore until the cap is raised. i have like 60 more double xp games and im not wasting them.

I am going to go with Pathfinder. The mods from it and Operator will make my Mantis an unstoppable juggernaut of headbutting destruction.

evil laugh Muahahaha! I am not level capped at 70! Ok, thats because I realized I was getting too close to 70 so I started playing less. Yes, They still say-“By the 1st” but thats only 2 days away. Somehow I don’t see us getting it before the 1st though.

The guys I feel sorry for are those outside the US who will still have to wait for specializations, whom as I recall were not included in the offer. If anyone has cause to be upset with the delay it is them. Hopefully that restriction will be lifted.

Until the 1st just 1 level a day for me. (which will mean I will hit 70 sometime on the 1st) With luck the codes will bee on time. If not I’ll just play Skyrim some more as its next expansion “Dragonborn” is out on the 4th which if delayed will give me something else to play while I wait.

Im from the Netherlands, Im 70, and 343 Does indeed suck for many choices they made, Soooooo many, this coming from someone who played 2 religiously.

Money greedy corporation suns if ditches.

WOW A WALL

Also, uh…

I feel as though many of the Specialization tactical/support packages aren’t that useful. Take Wetworks. Its practically just an anti-promethean vision. As if I needed that.

I feel as though having so many mods and only 2 spots to place them is bad. We need more classes :’(

Rant?!? That my friend is a wall-of-text. If you actually read that whole thing then my hat is off to you. I barely looked at it as the sight of it hurt my eyes. ( I’m getting too old to read that mess… lol)

So, what you are saying is this game needs more dinosaurs wearing cowboy hatz.

I completely agree. No, seriously. I miss having the option (or at least game type) to play as an Elite.

was able to vote for ALL…even the forum’s -Yoinked!- up.

Nothing is wrong with the forum. Guess you just missed the part where it said “You can vote for many choices.”

I’m about to finish Operator, and Wetwork is useless, so I’m going to wait until the codes come out to get either Stalker or Pathfinder.
