"Bustin’ Caps


Thanks, Lars! You’re not the only one grinding their way through the Warrant Officer ranks. According to our forums, you’d be led to believe that we’re all at max rank with nothing left to live for. Of course, our stats say otherwise.

But Luke promised we’d talk about raising the level cap soon and today we have the details. Hope you’re up for a challenge. In the very short term future a thermometer will appear on the Bungie.net front page charting the community’s collective progress towards completing, wait for it…

117 Million Daily & Weekly Challenges!

Don’t freak out. Currently, our online engineers project that you’re on pace to hit that milestone sometime in November. I’d wager to guess that you’ll hit it early in the month, but hey, what do I know?

Well, I do know that when you do cross the 117 Million mark, we’ll celebrate by blowing the lid off the level cap! In the immediate aftermath, new ranks and armor will be made magically available for you inside The Armory, provided you have the rank and credits required. Time to get to work!

Oh, and no, we won't be counting boosted challenges."

so yha... all of you better get to work on daily challenges

That's awesome!

I like it when they do stuff like this.

Red Dead Redemption (a la Rockstar) has a similar method. When the community acquires a certain amount of money, they'll add a challenge that lets you get an avatar award.

Cool stuff!

I'm the rank of Inheritor.....on my offline profile. Yes I modded. Once you unlock all armors you can make your characters looks just like the ones from campaign. Except Kat. I can't seem to find the robotic arm. But yeah. There's some pretty bad-ass armor.

To get haunted do you have to get EVERY helmet? or every helmet unlocked through lt. colonel?

I don't think there are any attachments for the Haunted Helmet.

I thought it was just base but, you'll have to get to reclaimer (that's the last helmet unlock apparently)
Some people say its all armour, some say its all base, some say its a halloween item (judging by the description)

It's an attachment of the Pilot Helmet. I have all the armor unlocked in my offline profile. I'm the Inheritor rank.(I deleted the updates). You can make your Spartan look JUST like the characters is the campaign.

And the topic of the haunted helmet its all BASE helmets then the haunted helmet will be unlocked under pilot for 1 cr

well if your a Lt. Colonel grade 3 depending on how much cadeits you got while being one you could possibly jump a few ranks, automatically unlocking a good few armor pieces

There aren't any outstanding maps in this game.... and even less new ones.
Halo 3 didn't have many, Pit, Guardian, Narrows maybe, Heretic,

The only similar ones in reach are Asylum (which looks really boring)
Zealot (which is pretty much agreed on by everyone as garbage

Maybe its just that I prefer symmetrical arena maps over asymmetric clusterfucks. I didn't realize Zealot was symmetric for a while


Wait, werent we talking about the rank cap?

This rank cap is pointless. Here is my reasoning.

1: They are just delaying the Inevitable.

And 2: letting people catch up? Anybody else smell that bullshit? Sure its cool that they're trying to get the community involved and I understand and respect that but putting a max rank is stupid.

And this rumor about Bungie adding in more armor effects, firefight voices, visor colours had better be true. I can Fuckie (Bungie) not doing that although it would be the smart thing. Maybe introduce downloadable add-on's.

For example: For 200 MsPoints you can a red & purple visor colour along with Dutch, Capt. Keys and some other Halo charecter for firefight voices.

The cap was basically a beta for ranks.

They put the cap because Bungie new that people will find exploits to get mass amounts of XP to reach the top level which is exactly what happened.

Challenge reset, ONI, Revert, Gruntpocalypse were massively abused during the first few weeks of Halo: Reach's release.

One of those resulted in banning people while others were nerfed.

If people find a way to fly through the ranks then people will abuse them to no end. Bungie was smart in this.

It'll be gone in a month anyways, enjoy the game. If you didn't rush to get to the top then you wouldn't be complaining about it.

Yes, for ranking, it is, because no one is "catching up" in the long run. All your extra credits will carry over and promote you to the rank you would've been without a rank cap. It's just not visible

Like you said though theirs probably ulterior motive in play, here.
