So, as most of you can guess from the title, I hate the fact that the Spartan customization options are locked behind the REQ system. Since Halo Reach, the creation of my own Spartan has always been my favorite part about the games. And now (in H5), even after buying tons of packs, I cant seem to get anything else than awful variations of armors I alredy obtained. It just seems that the random nature of the REQ system is not meant to be used with so many different pieces of armor. It just makes the process of getting a specific item incredibly frustruating, tidious and detrimental to the overal enjoyment of the game. After all, I cant spend all of my time on Halo 5, buying pack after pack, waiting for an armor piece that may or may not come (I am trying to get the Protector helmet).
To be clear, I’m not hating on the REQ system. I believe it it great for weapon (and vehicle) distribution and balance in Warzone. I just dont think that it should include the customization items. In my opinion, character customization in Reach and H4 where way more enjoyable, varied and made more sense than what we have in H5.
Anyway, maybe I’m crazy for thinking that but I am sure I am not alone at being dissapointed at that aspect of the game.
