Purchasing packs for warzone items isn't game breaking?

OP is exactly right. At least a few people out there can see reason. But this thread will be filled with scum saying "it's my (mom's) money, I'll ruin future Halo games if I want to!"

A bit one-sided and filled with assumption, don't you think? Because you and OP agree, does that mean that the rest of us don't see reason? Also, you're assuming that all us "scum" are kids who are ruining halo games. You need to get off your high horse. I don't care if you were here since ce, that doesn't make you any better than the rest of us.

We get it, you don't like REQ packs. They have been a huge success, whether you like it or not. REQ packs have pulled in, to my knowledge, 2 million dollars, probably double that now.

REQ packs will never alter the competitive side of Halo. 343 did it right, in my opinion.

They will be in Halo 6.

Sorry my friend but no they havent. Any AAA game where you can buy skill will only last with die hards. Some arena games seem to do it right,;~}

There are people that think the REQ system was implemented well? Strange world.

Yeah, it's an opinion.
And personally, the reqs and warzone are what are keeping me glued to Halo 5 since launch. It might not apply to you or for everyone, but it does for me and others.

I think that's where those opinions come from. Those people like Warzone and opening packs, so they don't think about how the system is implemented, they just think their enjoyment translates to good implementation.

It's not good for the system to put both cosmetics and weapons/vehicles in the same packs. If you only play Arena, you don't give a -Yoink- about that banshee you got, you just wanted more armor. For those that play Warzone, if you want to use a certain weapon or vehicle, why do you need to hope you're lucky enough to get it? You wanna use the rare *insert cool variation of sniper here* well, you better hope you're lucky enough to get it and then hope you're good enough to not die before killing someone with it. It's also not good for every REQ DLC to be thrown in with the rest of them either. Trying to get certain piece of armor? Well guess what, this DLC just made your chances of getting it go down.

This system is designed to get you to spend money on it by trying to not only keep you from getting what you want for a longer period of time, but possibly giving you things that you may not even have any use for. The REQ system is actually a huge offender when it comes to microtransactions because it's both RNG (which isn't bad by itself) and directly tied to gameplay.

The system would be miles better if packs were seperated by category (one for cosmetic and one for weapons/vehicles and maybe even temporary packs for each time there's DLC) and if no weapons and vehicles weren't burned after one use, but perhaps after a limited number of uses (cooldowns could still be applied though). Those suggestions would go a long way to keeping the REQ from being as big of a money grab as it is.
