I had a thought regarding the req system last night. I love the dmr in this game, when I can get it off someones dead bodie in pvp I play to its abilities well and it serves me well. The problem I have is the fact I have to pick it up off someones carcass. I don’t have it unlocked yet. Random luck has it that I have multiple specialized versions of the ma5d, br55, m7, even the m739 and various other weapons but no DMR. I’ve been waiting since release to get that random unlock but to no avale. My thought here is, why not let someone use req points to select a specific unlock? Make it expensive. 10,000 points. For 10k you already get to permanent unlocks as it is, and a bunch of reqs to use. Making it expensive will make sure its a waste of a persons time unless they really want that one piece they are looking for. Just a thought to consider.
With your proposed system, I think people would mostly buy power weapons, or they would be so expensive that we would all be stuck to loadout weapons (like a Big Team Battle game where we fight for scares power weapons). I think that the random factor to REQ packs is interesting. I’m seeing Spartans use unique weapons. When I kill someone, I’m more inclined to scavenge their weapons.

I completely agree.
I would agree to an aspect of this, I do find myself paying more attention to the weapons on the ground. You are also correct that most people whould likely buy a power weapon of some sort to unlock. But then they have to have the cards to use it. If you don’t have a req card, you don’t get to use it. If you waste all your points buying the one power weapon, then you get look at it until you earn some cards for it. Doesn’t seem like much of a difference from unlocking it at random or electing to do it, and some what of a waste of time for something like a power weapon. Now unlocking something like the dmr, seems more usefull to me.
