Hi everyone.
Please forgive me if I don't indroduce myself in the appropriate section, but I joined this community with the only purpose to express my toughts about the rank cap in the Halo 4 multiplayer. Don't take this post as a pointless complaint, because it isn't: I like how 343industries managed to set the matchmaking and stuff, but there's something that doesn't work well in my opinion and just wanted to point it out.
As you can figure, I'm stuck - like some other players - at level 70 in multiplayer. I bought the Standard Edition and, even if I was playing Halo 4 the 20th of November, my Xbox wasn't connected to Live. No grumble, it was my mistake or choice - see it as you want. When I completed the two specializations (Wetwork and Operator), I didn't stop playing the game: it is fun, it is addictive, it is awesome. But then I noticed one thing: the largest majority of players I met online has every specialization unlocked. There are Pioneers at lvl. 51, Trackers at 64 and so on.
It doesn't make any sense to me. The specialization lock started as a plus for those who bought the Limited Edition of the game, and that was right. They spent more money on Halo 4, it was correct to lend them a bonus. Then 343i wanted to reward its early customers, giving codes to everyone who played the 20th of November, and that wasn't too fair. It wasn't to Limited buyers, neither for Standard players. In fact now the specialization lock went from being a plus for few to a minus for few.
This lends me to some question (intended to any member of 343i who might read this post):
Why did you adopt this policy? It was a miscalculation, a mistake or planned?
Do you plan to change things and allow every player to access all specializations?
Can we hope that in the immediate future will be unlocked at least two or three specs?
Please take this thread seriously and let me know how many of you other players are stuck at 70. Just my curiosity. =)
Thank you for your attention.
