Baeztoberfest Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'm kinda amped about the new Spartan Ops. Not because its entertaining but because now I can get the last three cheevos I need to wrap up Halo 4. On the other hand still no email for specializations. All I had to do was play before the 20th my ass. I beat the game on legendary solo on the 11th. I was level SR5 the day the game came out. Clearly I've played but nope. 343 dropped the ball on this one ensuring no more ranking up after I hit 70. I'm SR65 now so... How best to complete these last 5 levels? It's not a bad game. I'll recant my earlier rant threads and admit I'm hooked. But if there's nothing left to do, no achievements to be earned, no specializations to unlock what's the point? The game has been out almost a month now and I've beaten it every way you CAN beat it? I get it. It's not Skyrim. But what happened to the addictive gameplay that previous Halo titles had that kept me coming back? Is the journey already over? It was a fun albeit short ride 343... So lets take it full circle. It's Monday. Time to be excited about some matchmaking I suppose. I just wish this game offered a little more in the way of replay value. You look forward to a game since 2007 and here it is 5 years later, done in a month. I'll even argue that Reachs rank system at least had more replay value than this game... I don't want to be another specialization whiner but can you see where I'm coming from? I followed the directions to the T. I live in Kansas. Played before the twentieth. Checked my junk email and my regular. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Monday is another brick wall... Wonder if tomorrow will be as big of a let down as today was... P.S. don't take my bitching and moaning as a sign of discontent. I LOVED Halo 4. But... The whole experience is over entirely too quick. And Spartan Ops is too dull and repetitive to come back too... Which leaves me with a campaign I've totally destroyed. And Infinity Slayer. Which destroys me. Which I don't mind... It's still good. I still get excited at the occasional overkill or killing frenzy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkItZo1041 Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I hear you, I hit 70 and still played here and there... but it just didn't feel worth it. Whenever a game made me mad I just jumped out, because I didn't care about experience. I took a specialization code from a friend since I didn't get the email either. But still, 130 can't just be the end of it, can it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwazy Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Ya i've yet to recieve mine either, they really choice a poor way of distributing the codes, don't feel like playing the game anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baeztoberfest Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Folks, put these posts up at Waypoint, won't do you any good here. Oh I didn't expect anything to get done. I just wanted to talk about it. One guys voice is never heard. Besides. I'm not that proactive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiQuid BioniX Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I really hope that they raise the cap! I don't think it's an extremely strenuous thing to do on 343's part, and it would motivate a lot of people. Personally, I'm a massive fan of the prestige system and I wish that they'd implement that in Halo rather than making levels with XP requirements so high that it seems impossible to get there (though people would just complain that they copied off of CoD...).

I kinda liked actual ranks to attain. Like lieutenant or captain. Not SR130. It feels cold and boring. Especially since I can't get past 70. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
