EPICxXxSnIpEz Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I Totally Agree The XP Cap Is Kind Of Annoying. I Can Sort Of Understand, But I Was Almost Promoted And The Cap Stopped Me! P.S. 343 Please Fix This And The Bugs/Glitches That This Guy Posted. Thank You, -EPICxXxSnIpEz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaxx Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 It doesn't need to go, you realise how quickly people would be SR-50 right? Then beating all of the specialisations? This needs to stay for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This needs to stay for a while. Yea i agree but maybe if they would nerf(weaken) some weapons and decrease some things the game wouldn't be this easy to rank in... Its pretty ridiculous how accurate every gun in the game is and it needs to be fixed.. Also how many people bypassed Lag Switches in H4... Halo 4 just needs a really big update..

Swiss Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Wait? Microsoft issues monetary rewards for playing 140 hours by the end of November and I cant make it through a day w/o seeing a butt load of x2 xp ads but i can hit cap in one sitting w/ friends? Ya, I guess that makes sense... *extreme sarcasm* anyway at lest make challenge xp irrelevant in the calculations and let us get it after cap. I feel like I cant even finish my legendary pt because either I miss xp or cap myself... still, great game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordVortex888 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I also agree, besides you should at least be able to get XP from challenges complete if nothing else; people are so naive I mean who cares who reaches SR50 I mean its just a game plus its not like i haven't seen any high ranks in the previous HALO games so whats the difference? I could be getting my XP from my challenges then whats the point of challenges if you can't get XP I mean talk about FAIL I know this is a different company then COD's company but if you play Call of Duty you have no limits; to a point there are limitations but not to the point where you allow so much XP I mean there a lot of high prestiged palyers I love 343 Industry but just because they're a gaming company doesn't mean they know everything or whats best for games they're great at what they do but I think they got carried away when they decided to use XP Cap as an excuse or their reason to limit XP...I bet its the whiny players who are always mad because they're not high rank grow up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyNotPlayingGame Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 ***** sake people, the exp cap is a good thing for the longevity of ranking up, plus it encourages people to not play halo non-stop all day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Forgot one thing: I pre-ordered limited edition and got instant access to all specializations (after 50 of course). Now, I don't know the release date for those who didn't, but whats the point of seeing them locked in my menu if the caps going to hold me back till everyone else can use them at the same time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojogabel Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Well I believe the cap is unneeded because some people don't get to play everyday and on the weekends they would like to play for as long as they would like and rank up for thier deication. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay90020 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Wow xp cap...and it counts while using double xp?! I thought I'd be on this game for a while but now I preorder Black Ops II after this bulls**t! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.. Its 343's fault for making ranking so easy.. Putting on the Cap is making ppl leave Halo now.. Its pretty stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainTrollstein Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I kind of agree on this topic but i also dissagree. Yes people would be SR-50 if they did take it off and it is very annoying when your a high rank and can only level up once a day, people around the world are getting just as frustrated as us, what i think 343 needs to do is actually INCREASE the cap by a good 50,000 xp, after all the limit is only around 75,000. So please 343 do increase the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick0969 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I couldn't agree more. Its my own business what I do with my free time and if I want to play Halo 4 to my hearts content then reward me for it. Add the amount of xp it takes to rank up, I don't care. Just fix it. The double xp for mtn dew punishes ppl for signing up for that. I maxed in FOUR games today! Honestly 343 you are capping the ammount of ppl that are going to buy your next game! I love Halo 4 but please fix this cap bs! At least on Reach it took a good 6 plus hours to reach the cap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novotny56 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 agreed, it only takes a couple of hours to hit the cap, who the hell cares if people level up fast, all the stuff you unlock sucks anyway and doesnt give anyone much of an advantage, just let us level up as we please, cod doesnt have any xp caps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomed50 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 This is extremely frustrating. I made an account on here just to post about this. First of all the whole Doritos/Mountain Dew promotion is stupid, I went out of my way to buy 6 cases of Mountain Dew and like 10 bags of Doritos when I don't even eat/drink that crap. I try to remain on a healthy diet and rewarding your fan base for clogging their arteries is pretty lame. Now I find out I can't even make use of the double XP because of the cap. This is the dumbest idea ever, you should be rewarded for how much time you put into the game, if some people hit SR-50 before others, who cares, they deserve it because they spent the time to get it. It's not even that big of an unfair advantage because of the matching system, don't match SR-50 players with low rank people, it's as simple as that. How it works in most games and life is you get what you put in. Some people work 50 hours a week, well guess what, they probably make more money than people who work 30 hours a week at a similar job. The same should be true with Halo 4, if you play the game for 8 hours a day, you should benefit more from it than someone who plays the game 2 hours a day. Don't get me wrong, Halo 4 is a great game, however the cap eliminates my motivation to play it. You need to remove the cap ASAP or I'm sure you'll lose a lot of customers in the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whodis Guy Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 My whole thing is why do developers want to push gamers away. You make one of the finest products in the iindustry with no forewarning and then restrict its use. I have lmmtd ed and its whatever, but you spend extra because some people want to play aggresively and you are punishimg them for lazy f-n gamers who want to gingerly rank up after putting the kids to sleep and dishes are done. I am in the man-cave with doriitos and dew cuz the commercial told e to, and i have been stopled fro ranking because of this stupid cap, set the gamers free for the love of all man! I just want to play, lazy players may never hit 50 dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaguroth Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I don't get why you guys are constantly saying "Who cares if people get to SR-50 blah blah blah".... Unless it was changed, with the specializations, the rank limit is 130, and the xp cap, while it is kinda low, is helpful... Cause believe it or not, it is basically saying "You've sat down for too long, get up and walk around" because sitting for long periods of time does affect your health in a negative way.. So, why not stop complaining about the xp cap, and play through campaign or something if you hit it. Most likely, if they plan to change the cap, they won't do it for another month or more.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need a game company telling me "You've sat down for too long, get up and walk around", that's my decision to make. Besides, it only takes about 2 hours to hit the cap with double XP, which is nothing. If you play the campaign while capped, you miss out on XP from challenges and commendations, and the campaign doesn't take very long to beat either. The cap is absolutely pointless. They offer things like "If you play 140 hours of MP" you get 600 Microsoft Points, and if you buy Mountain Dew you get double XP but at the same time they have the limit set way too low. It's a slap in the face, it's like they don't want to give out any Microsoft points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSI xDr Evilx 7 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I can see why they do this but the cap is too low. I was level 22 today and I played most of the day or all day in various regions of Halo 4 reaching level 30. Mostly Infinity Slayer. I did a few Spartan Ops and I completed a bunch of challenges. I just hit the XP Cap at 10PM EST. It was quite frustrating. I completed a challenge for my pistol adept in a game of SWAT(to see if the cap is gone) and I didn't get rewarded for it. I would still be playing now if ti weren't for the cap. I am a Halo fan and I don't need the extra XP. I play long enough at a good pace. If a regular gamer such as myself can hit the cap within a "full" day of gaming then something is wrong. I hope your Moderators read all these posts because this isn't very "sporting". This is the first time I ever hit any cap in any Halo game and I am a Mythic in Reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Chase Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 This XP Cap caused me to waste a lot of money. I bought Mt. Dew and Doritos and redeemed so many codes. Basically I have lost a total of 100 Games of Double because I hit the Cap. YES EVERYONE. ONCE YOU HIT THE CAP AND YOU HAVE DOUBLE XP, THE REMAINING GAMES DO NOT CARRY OVER WHEN THE CAP HAS RESET. Thank you 343 industries. I am really thinking about returning Halo 4 and the limited Edition Xbox. P.S. The XP Cap has done this to many other friends of mine and they have all returned their games and purchased Black Ops II. P.S.S. Prove them wrong and lift the XP Cap or you will continue to lose much valued fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravforce Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I am pretty peaved at the xp cap - I can only play on the weekend, so I play for 4 hours and hit the xp cap... It totally kills the motivation to play the game. Who wants to play for no xp? When Halo 3 came out there was no xp scheme, and therefore no problem! Now I feel like I am cheating myself when I play beyond the cap limit, because of the system that 343 has created. I also hate how they killed firefight... why couldnt they just leave it in? Now we have 5 minute spartan ops... firefight was flawed but really fun. I cant understand how people are saying this is the best Halo.
