@P-1609: Why? Specializations after the initial 50 levels is indeed similar, but not the same as Prestiging in CoD. Loadouts are also similar but not the same as CoD. Many aspects in Halo 4 are similar to those in CoD. But really CoD took those same aspects from previous games. So if it makes Halo better, by all means go for it 343i. The comparisons to CoD are legitimate, being upset that people are comparing is not needed.

@Playa: I have no clue...343i hase been very vague on the details about everything so far. I have a feeling that it is exp. but who knows. @Rooster: I agree Reach was rough...I only got to Eclipse and got bored lol. Like you said at least there are weapons, armor, skins etc. to look forward to everytime we re level Absolute Dog confirmed that you only have to go through the first 1-50 levels once and than each Specialization (1-10) after that. You DO NOT have to go through 1-50 after each Specialization again and again. -edited to merge a double post-

Looks pretty cool...but looks a little more realistic...kinda like the 'SAW'... Spas Shotgun:

From what a couple friends at ComicCon said, it is pretty much the same Warthog as Halo 3, except looks new of course

Woot Halo 4!!

343i may not go into that seeing as it doesnt really affect the canon of the game/stories/halo verse

I also think it is the Didact in his Cryptum. As far as Silentium goes, the book does not come out until January, so we will know what the sphere is before that point, hopefully at least lol.

Hunters have been a staple of Halo as said above...they have been in EVERY Halo game. So Hunters will most likely be in Halo 4, Brutes on the other hand are hit or miss...they may not be in the game.

Never really played custom games in Reach, but loved em in Halo 3, so I think this could work

Technically there are more than 60 ranks. 1-50 initial ranks, and 1-10 ranks for each Specialization. But yeah nice vid

Halo Reach invis was indeed a joke, but if I could see the Halo 3 invis as a pick up. Not an AA

I suppose...I guess I am just concerned that it will take as long as leveling in Reach to get through all of the Specializations and 1-50 again and again. If the leveling is faster than Reach I will be happy.

Oh that could be...if you indeed get the mod last than I will def go for Pioneer first and just use the Pioneer mod to help fast level through everything. i will probably only grind 4 of the Specializations right away and than just casually grind the other 4. Some of the armors look ok, some of the skins look ok, but some of the mods dont seem that useful to me. But I like 100% completion so who knows lol. Like I said, I just really hope you can level up fast in Halo 4, faster than in Halo 3 and Reach personally.

Well if it really is the way you are describing, than I will not be getting all of the Specializations. I could care less about some of them. I will probably just do a couple that I like and thats it. with LE exclusive armor, Pre-order armor, and a couple Spec armors I will be happy. I just really hope that ranking up 1-50 is fast, and really fast with pioneer. 1. Wetworks and Pioneer are only available for those who did not purchase the LE. If you purchased the LE you have all 8 available from day 1. 343i said that as they see how fast people are leveling up 1-50 they will release more spec's. 2. The mod is unlocked separately from the physical armor, the mod will be a perk that you put in you load outs. The physical armor just shows that you went through grinding to get that Specialization. You do not need the armor for the mod to work. I believe you get the mod first, than a couple levels into the 1-10 you get the armor, than skins, etc.

@TsickSense: No...if you have the LE you have access to all 8 right away. @humpstyles: Yes technically you do not HAVE to, but if you want all of the different armor and skins you HAVE to. I still think it would make more sense to only have to do the 1-50 once and after that just do each Spec class 1-10 lvl.

I will spend hours and hours playing just for the fun of it...but making it so that we HAVE to go through it again and again is lame personally. Also has it been confirmed that this is how it is going to be, once you finish a Spec class (1-10) you have to grind 1-50 again?

Personally if we have to go through 1-50 everytime, it will get stale...kind of like trying to get Inheritor in Reach...it got stale and I didnt care anymore. I would much rather prefer we only have to do 1-50 once and than everytime we finish the 10 levels of a Spec class we start a new Spec class.

I play for fun, there should be 2 separate play lists, causal (social) and competetive (ranked). So everyone wins.

So according to some recent news on the Halo 4 Specializations. We the player have 1-50 levels to complete before being able to access Specializations. Once we choose a specific Spec, there are 10 levels to complete within each Spec. Now supposedly after compleating a Spec class (1-10) we have to grind the original 50 levels again. Is this true? I think that would be ridiculous...I thought from what Frankie and 343i said at ComiCon that once you finish the first 50 levels, you just have to go through the 10 levels for each Specialization. Having to go through 50 levels every time we move past a Specialization is ridiculous in my opinion. What do you all think? Any info?

I agree with you SternuS, if 343i does that than I too will be upset.

Agreed Rooster, there will actually be a reward for doing these Specializations/ Prestige than just an emblem. If we really do have to grind 1-50 every time we finish a Spec, it better be worth it. If that is the case, I may do Pioneer first than Rogue second.

I agree Rooster...I think we unlock these after the 1-50 levels have been completed. So Pioneer would only be useful your second time around if we really do have to grind the 1-50 levels every time we finish a Spec.

The Map Packs are listed under the LE as War Games Map Pack access, so yes they are included in the LE

Well no reason to be condesceding about it...I was just throwing it out there for people to look at

LE purchasers do not have to purchase the Map Pack DLC, it is included in the LE. 343i is just also releasing it on its own as a Map Pack Bundle DLC for those who do not get the LE.
