Why do higher ranks unlock better stuff?

This is one of my main complaints about halo 4’s multiplayer. Why would 343i choose to reward you with things that give you an advantage over those with a lower rank?

Seeing trough walls, unlimited sprint, more powerful grenades and some stuff I don’t remember. Why should this only be avalible for those who have played more than others? It’s unbalanced.

Would you rather have them give you worse things to unlock as you progress? That doesn’t make any sense either. And honestly, it doesn’t take long to unlock everything. I’ve played for like 8 hours (over 2 days) and I’m already SR23 with almost everything unlocked. Piece of cake.

And besides, the advantages are very slight and not even noticeable.

I think you should have it all from the start. Don’t punish the new players.

I have played for a total of under 2 hours(as i have university commitments) and have unlocked promethian vision, and thrust, ammo and dmr carbine.

so it is not really an issue, anyone after 30mins gameplay can get a decent loadout.

i had the complete loadout i continue to use now (sr30) when i was a level 8. all the fundamental good stuff is available early. dmr, br, plasma pistol, plasma grenades. and i think promethian vision was an early one too? not to sound like im having a go but are you just looking for a reason to moan? you unlock everything you could want to do well within 2 hours of online play.

I’ve played off and on for 3 days, mostly Campaign and Spartan Ops… and I have everything unlocked. I hardly think it’s unfair. It’s just a way to introduce you to everything. I mean, imagine if you had never played Halo before and you could choose from like 50 different things… Non-issue /thread

In a day or two of playing you’ll have just about anything you need… dmr and regen are the only things I say are Needed

It all becomes unlocked roughly fast, I think i had it all unlocked around SR20. Don’t quote me on that.

Well, you unlock the DMR and BR at SR-2, which are usually considered to be the best rifles in the game.

However, it does seem to take too long to unlock the armor mods. Also, it seems incredibly stupid that you have to UNLOCK emblems.

> I think you should have it all from the start. Don’t punish the new players.

Sure, and while we’re at it we’ll get rid of entire levelling system since it no longer has a use with everything unlocked from the start
