1. How are Spartan Points earned? Can they be attained in Campaign? Will there be daily & weekly challenges and/or commendations across all play modes like in Reach? Or are they attainable only in Matchmaking and Spartan Ops?
2. Does this "Career mode" encompass all of matchmaking, or will there be gametypes and/or playlists that utilize traditional Halo balancing by giving everyone access to the same pre-set spawning gear regardless of how many SP they have, thus providing an even playing field?
3. What weapons and abilities will be available at the very beginning, and which ones are locked?
4. How much grinding is needed to unlock these weapons and abilities? Specifically, how many SP do you attain in a MP match (or Spartan Ops mission, or any other activity we can earn SP from)? How much do weapons and abilities cost? Are they more, less, or about the same as purely aesthetic unlocks (i.e., armor permutations)? Do you also have to be a certain rank in addition to having the requisite amount of SP in order to unlock any weapons or abilities? If I play only 8 hours of matchmade MP a week (which is about how much Reach MP I average a week), how long would it take to unlock all weapons and abilities?
