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.

Let's not bother getting into any of that... we should just sit here and make up as many excuses as possible towards why Halo 3 was such a bad, bad game compared to Reach. Of course Reach got rid of those "problems" (that fact that those were even considered "problems" to you makes me know that you must have been very, very butthurt), but it also exterminated a large amount of the Halo population, and that's why Halo: Reach hasn't been first place on XBL, unlike its predecessors Halo 2 and Halo 3, which WERE ON THE TOP FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS EACH. HURRRRR.[/quote] -First part makes no sense, I'll assume you will say better, although Halo 3 did sell more copies, Halo 2 is still the better game. -Halo 3 had its own problems, especially the ranking system -HURR DURR POPULATION HURR DURR Halo Reach's population is higher than 3's, you do realize 3's is a 24hr counter and Reach is live active roster right? And LOL, Halo CE had no ranking system or online mechanic (barring PC), but it is still the most competitive Halo game. So go be butthurt somewhere else.

My "close-mind" is no where as extreme as your obstinate brain. People like you make me wonder about humanity, and how our race is just becoming intolerant and "pigheaded". None of your "arguments" or "insults", are even mature, and you just depict another stubborn cow. Your way of communicating is completely infantile, and your "self-righteous" talk is just sickening.

I don't give two -blam!-s what my rank is, as long as I win match after match, I'm ok.

We aren't the ones that cry in every Halo 4 related thread because they don't like it, seriously in every thread you bash 343i for no good reason, the butthurt levels are strong in this one.

Ah, the everlasting battle between giving players meaningful progression in today's multiplayer world and evening out balance for all. I like the idea of giving out customizations by playstyle, although attaching the mods seems like it could screw with balance they've seemed to be tiny buffs at best. Nothing gamebreaking or even real advantage giving.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ChemicalEnvy [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dozen Plague CoD knock-off with MGO sprinkled on it. WTB original ideas.[/quote] This system is more similar to Skyrim than CoD. [/quote]Yea, it actually kinda sounds like a rework of BF3 to me. That was more weapon based, but for example, use a machine gun a lot and unlock things related to support roles. It sounds similar, but different enough to fit Halo. Almost like actual military. You serve a term in one MOS and you can reenlist in another. I like it.

Sounds like a really good system.

I see that 343 is taking a Battlefield approach, which isn't too bad. [Edited on 07.15.2012 10:23 PM PDT]
