the Game modifying perk, as they stated
> “When we launch Halo 4 in November, that’s just the beginning,” Ellis tells us. “Specializations are just another opportunity to make the play experience months and even years after release feel fresh.”

Those nine include armor sets, skins for those armor sets, a weapon skin, emblems, and a visor color. On the tenth level (though the order of what will unlock when isn’t finalized yet, according to 343 and Microsoft), you get your <mark>gameplay modifying perk – the ultimate prize you really care about</mark> that we’ll detail below.
and about the “Special Suprise” you’ll get at SR-130, is just disappointing.
i do still enjoy the game, but i want to feel special when i reach max rank. and almost every helmet is ugly. Recruit PRME (Prime) is the only helmet i really think looks cool.
