The "70 rank cap" matter - a serious feedback

Hi everyone.
Please forgive me if I don’t indroduce myself in the appropriate section, but I joined this community with the only purpose to express my toughts about the rank cap in the Halo 4 multiplayer. Don’t take this post as a pointless complaint, because it isn’t: I like how 343industries managed to set the matchmaking and stuff, but there’s something that doesn’t work well in my opinion and just wanted to point it out.

As you can figure, I’m stuck - like some other players - at level 70 in multiplayer. I bought the Standard Edition and, even if I was playing Halo 4 the 20th of November, my Xbox wasn’t connected to Live. No grumble, it was my mistake or choice - see it as you want. When I completed the two specializations (Wetwork and Operator), I didn’t stop playing the game: it is fun, it is addictive, it is awesome. But then I noticed one thing: the largest majority of players I met online has every specialization unlocked. There are Pioneers at lvl. 51, Trackers at 64 and so on.

It doesn’t make any sense to me. The specialization lock started as a plus for those who bought the Limited Edition of the game, and that was right. They spent more money on Halo 4, it was correct to lend them a bonus. Then 343i wanted to reward its early customers, giving codes to everyone who played the 20th of November, and that wasn’t too fair. It wasn’t to Limited buyers, neither for Standard players. In fact now the specialization lock went from being a plus for few to a minus for few.

This lends me to some question (intended to any member of 343i who might read this post):

[/li]- Why did you adopt this policy? It was a miscalculation, a mistake or planned?

  • Do you plan to change things and allow every player to access all specializations?

  • Can we hope that in the immediate future will be unlocked at least two or three specs?

Please take this thread seriously and let me know how many of you other players are stuck at 70. Just my curiosity. =)

Thank you for your attention.

Its bs how that most of the people who did play halo 4 every day before Nov.20th didnt get the specializations but the people who didnt play much did. I think I might of gotten it in a messages on the 30th but all I read was my Xbox accounts gold was getting low but it did have something else in it. I NEED the codes I am SR 70 and its really boring not being able to rank up.
Yes I am older than 17 (Im 27 years old)
Yes I live in the U.S
Yes I played Halo 4 before 11:59:59 est time before 11/20

I will not go quiet to get my code because I PLAYED Halo 4 to get my code.
If I get my code then I be quiet and play Halo 4 happily.
It was fair played to NOT send everyone the code like 343 said you would send the code to everyone.

count yourself lucky you were offered the chance to earn the other 6 uk here not even a whisper when they might be released absolutely shocking 343/Microsoft who ever had this bright idea should be sacked as it stood I paid £80 to play this game renewing xbox live like many others not going to buy the overpriced legendary set ooo those are some nice postcards if this don’t change back to ps3 at least when they mess up they make good
