It appears that there is no way to buy blitz packs with any sort of ingame points. So I guess Blitz is pay to play.
When you level up in ranks you are rewarded packs - as well for completing challenges. But yeah pretty much.
It seems as though you haven’t played the game. Doing anything in the game gives you a blitz pack. Plus there are daily rewards and there are blitz packs out the -Yoink- for everything.

Erm… Firefight doesn’t give packs, nor does Skirmish mode. Campaign packs are a one-time-only thing, too.
Really, if you want packs, you’re either forced into PvP, or have to spend more money.

Depends on the challenge. I’ve done a couple challenges in firefight. You still get XP for campaign replays. The AI versus playlist counts towards challenges as well.

“Forced into PvP”… to earn packs for a PvP mode (is this pay to win reference for firefight?). 99% of your average persons playtime in this game is either once through campaign or matchmade games. Blitz itself rewards XP and and counts for the challenges, the daily challenges alone are 3 packs a day. I’m at 54 packs opened right now without buying any.
It’s still a pay to win mechanic, but you earn as many naturally playing as you could expect from any other kind of in game currency system. Far faster than you earn packs in hearthstone.
Keep in mind that for right now, there’s a fairly limited number of cards, and while they can be levered up, you don’t ‘spend’ them the way H5’s are. Also, they are only for Blitz mode itself. Just focus on one weekly challenge a day.

This also offsets the fact that you never lose your cards like you do in Halo 5. You could conceivably get all of the cards in HW2 forever, but that is impossible in Halo 5. So, they make getting cards more challenging in HW2.
