Are there enough Spartan Points to unlock everything?
In Halo 4, when you rank up, you receive a certain amount of Spartan Points. (I believe it's one per level, but I don't know that for sure) This "currency" is then used to buy weapons, armor abilities, grenades, etc. for use in customized loadouts.
My question is are there enough Spartan Points gained by getting to level 50 to unlock everything? Or will it eventually come down to my preference as to what weapons/upgrades to unlock and use?
Solution 1:
Based on this post at Se7enSins and my personal experience, I think my initial calculation was slightly off.
First, the question is how many SP will you get at maximum. By my calculations the answer is 51 (leveling to 50), including 1 SP for level 1 and 1 SP for completing level 50.
Based on the IGN wiki, it would cost 51 SP (noting an error on their part, as the AR costs 0 SP, not 1) to cover all of the "Loadout" upgrades. So at exactly level 50, you will have enough SP.
Nothing costs SP besides the loadout unlocks. I have now leveled past 50 and can confirm that you can unlock everything that costs SP once you hit 50, and you do not get SP for Specializations (because you've already unlocked everything).
