I don’t know if it is true that there will be unlockable weapons in Halo 4. But i have heard a lot of talk about such a thing.
For the love of everything that makes Halo, Halo DON’T do it! The sole thing that has separated Halo from other FPS’s in the past 10 years is that no matter how long or how short of a time you’ve spent playing Halo everyone was on the same playing field with the same chance to do good and same chance to win.
Good players aren’t given abilities to make them even better and bad players aren’t punished by only being able to use crapy stuff. Everyone is given the same things.
-My thoughts
We haven’t heard almost anything about Custom Loadouts. We don’t really know how it works. Maybe 343i just created 2 or 3 utility weapons from which we can choose. It doesn’t immediately mean we can spawn with Sniper Rifles and Shotguns. (=
We should just wait for some explanations. Frankie said he will answer to our questions. (=
I don’t think there’s been any hint of that. It would be an insult to the core gameplay of Halo imo, and I don’t think 343 are stupid. They do know what they are doing, so I doubt that there will be anything like that, it’s just fearmongering based of the scare that this Halo may be like CoD.
The better you play in matchmaking the better the custom loadouts you get to choose, such as getting killstreaks and multikills and whatnot will enable you to choose better weapons to spawn with. Don’t say that’s not fair, it’s competitive. If you suck, you’re out of luck.

That system would only be appropriate in a Competitive playlist such as MLG or Arena. Because it isn’t just about not being good. What if someone bought the game 3 months after it came out? He would be stuck with the bad weapons when everyone else would have the better ones. Once that happens it wouldn’t be a matter of him ‘sucking’ it would be a matter of him not being able to get ahead because everyone else has the advantage.

Cough Giving advantages to people isn’t balanced or competitive… cough
