I was thinking, since we unlock armors in Req packs, do you think armor will be unlocked trough specific ranks like in halo 4 or they will have tiers like req cards?
Armor could have tiers like req cards, and the low SR armors like the air assault would be common, more advanced ones like recon would be uncommon and hunter could be ultra rare or legendary. This way when you start leveling up, you will probably get a lot of common armor which would be the equivalent of the low level armor from previous halos but once in a while you could earn a really nice armor that in halo 4 could’ve been SR-80 even if you are just SR-20.
Altough some armor should still be aquired trough special achievements like beat campaign on legendary, reach max SR and commendations
Pros
-People wouldn’t be using an armor they don’t like only because it’s a high level armor.
-You can 1 or 2 Ultra-rare armor without playing all day long
Cons
-Yo won’t be able to say “Ok this guy has X armor so it means he his SR-120”
-If rarer armor isn’t rare enough, people would have all the good armor right away
In the beta, armors were unlocked as you progressed ranks, so it isn’t a stretch to say the same will be true of the final game.
Well I will be sporting Helioskrill, so you will be able to tell that badassery. I hope Helioskrill isn’t also unlockable through REQ packs…
Anyway, I believe armor will predominantly be unlocked through REQ packs. I am not sure if there will be any “rank-specific” armor unlocks. With them selling REQ packs, I would think that most of the armors will be found in them to tempt gamers into buying REQ packs.

I hope they just give that thing away. I’m glad I didn’t play on Legendary for the sole reason of unlocking it.
They mentioned that some are tied to specific unlock criterias, so there’s porbably going to be some tied to rank.
As long as top tier armor is unlocked from achievements and commendations, I could care less on how the other pieces are unlocked.
