Re: Still a lot of unanswered questions.

In Response To: Still a lot of unanswered questions. (Gravemind) : I do have some questions I'd like to see 343I answer soon: : : 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? I love how you've numbered those 1-4 - but there are actually 12 questions shown. :) (If it were me working for 343, I'd see this post, and my eyes would glaze over halfway through "Question 1", and I'd just click the next post. I understand you have a ton of questions - but your chances of getting answers from regular humans increase if you don't overwhelm them. That's my experience, anyway.)
