Today Firestream added 5 new levels to the game:

Covenant:
51 - Grand Prophet - 30,000,000 EXP
52 - Arch Prophet - 40,000,000 EXP
53 - Glorious Deity - 50,000,000 EXP
54 - Alpha - 75,000,000 EXP
55 - Omega - 100,000,000 EXP

Rogue:
51 - Viceroy - 30,000,000 EXP
52 - Grand Viceory - 40,000,000 EXP
53 - Arch Viceroy - 50,000,000 EXP
54 - Glorious Angel - 75,000,000 EXP
55 - Supreme Being - 100,000,000 EXP

UNSC:
51 - Spherian - 30,000,000 EXP
52 - Grand Spherian - 40,000,000 EXP
53 - Arch Spherian - 50,000,000 EXP
54 - Glorious Spherian - 75,000,000 EXP
55 - Commander in Chief - 100,000,000 EXP

Right now the only benefits to the new levels are an increase in credit/experience payouts (in accordance with the graduated payout system), and the additional trait points that come with each level. Firestream has stated that there will be more equipment to come as an add-on to the equipment that level 50 players currently have. Not as a replacement of that equipment.

What are your thoughts on this? I personally love that there is something to work at, difficult as it may be to achieve those levels. It will certainly take a long time, but there is finally an incentive for level 50 players to continue playing.

With the big update that's been promised, this addition of new levels should add more strategy for players, who must now re-think and prioritize how they will spend their credits.
