So.... The Halo 4 Progression System.... Your thoughts

This is the progression system in Halo 4, and to me, it's very cool *Note - Armor Mods are a minor part of gameplay. Examples are an extended radar, having a radar while zoomed in, having more ammo, having an extra grenade. When you get to the max level cap of your Spartan's initial progression branch, you can re-enlist into another specialist branch. The branches are geared towards a specific playstyle. When you re-enlist, you are going through a ten level progression. As you go through that, you are unlocking exclusive weapon skins, armor skins, emblems, and armor mods (allows you to fit your spartan to your playing style). So once you go through the initial curve of the progression, you can re-enlist into these special branches. Example: Suppose I finish the initial progression system, I can re-enlist into a specific branch that suits my playstyle. I enjoy sniping, so I would pick that branch. While I work myself up the progression system, I unlock weapon skins, emblems, armor skins, and an armor mod that will gear towards sniping. It's not prestiege at all. It's mastering a playstyle that you enjoy. Also, just in case a player gets matched up with someone who is more experienced, each map has set loadouts if you do not want to use your list of loadouts.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Darkside Eric [/quote] I don't think everyone will have access to the same equipment off of spawn. (Whether or not you have unlocked it) I think it will probably just be pre-made loadouts specifically made for each map with the contents being the bare minimum to keep it from being totally unfair. So on a large map they won't have you only able to spawn with a storm rifle. They'll probably have a basic loadout with a DMR and basic modifications. Players of a higher level however will not only have the DMR, but all the other perks, modifications, etc.

  • I don't care at all about special armor combinations, gimmicks, etc. As long as the gameplay is sick, I will play.

  • It sounds like it has potential.

  • My thoughts? Sounds great. Halo 4 sounds brilliant and I can't wait to play it. Without riding 343, Halo 4 really is shaping up - something I did not expect in the slightest.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Swiftkillswitch3 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CookieMan It sounds good to me. It's not universal, it's leveling up in a playstyle via playing it.[/quote] It's a personal playing experience. I may go as a Warthog driver and my friend as a Spartan to assault while my gunner specializes in gunning the Hog's turret.[/quote] Wait, is there a list of specializations? I mean, can you actually specialize as a Warthog driver? Based on the list of unlocked mods we got, it seems like they're not as specific as that.

    As long as there's a classic playlist I'm fine. I'll be playing Infinity gametypes anyways, but I want to have the Halo I knew before to be there somewhere as well.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] annoyinginge [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Chupanebre627 Man, how many people are gonna be snipers. Dear god the horror.[/quote] I was under the impression that you can't spawn with the best power weapons, i.e. Rocket Launchers and Sniper Rifles.[/quote] You can't. It is just giving you an Armor Mod that gives you a very slight benefit such as having a radar while zoomed in.

  • I thought at first Halo 4 was gonna bomb, but I've been hearing more and more things I like about it. That being said if 343 is on thin ice in my eyes. Let's hope they deliver.

  • This could go either way. It could be brilliant, or it could suck. We'll just wait and see.

  • While it does sound interesting, I'm not too excited about sniper tree. So many idiots pick the sniper even though they can't snipe, and that's just few more teammates to betray me for the gun so they can miss the rest of the shots I had left.
