Drawn out unlocks?

Hello community, hasn’t anybody noticed that some of the coolest unlocks in the game require a “somewhat” absurd feat to get them? I mean, just the stance “Breach”
requires you to get master rating for all the UNSC weapons that are used as ordnance which takes at least 100 kills for each weapon, and is just a stance for a player card.
Another example would be the Protector armor variant, the requirements are just too
drawn out. I understand that it is 343’s way to get us to play the game longer but
seriously, some people don’t want to have to go through the requirements that are
attached to the unlocks they desire. So, I propose a that 343 could make it so
everything has two requirements but have it so you can fulfill one of the two
requirements to unlock the content. It would go something like this,
“Get X amount of CTF victory’s to unlock” Or “Reach level 70 to unlock this item”.
If it was done like this, everybody will be able to get everything which would encourage them to play because they know that they CAN get it by doing one of the two things!
So, who else agrees that this would be a brilliant idea to patch into the game?

I’m sorry, but I don’t see that working. The requirements are made hard so it’s actually a challenge to get some armour. If they make everything to accessible then getting the armour unlock will not be very fulfilling at all.

By the time Halo 4 has run its course anyone playing this regularly should have most things unlocked.

Don’t worry about unlocking everything. At least they didn’t link it to an achievement like Gears 3 did!

No. Everyone isn’t supposed to have everything…If you want the cool things, you need to work hard. Pretty simple concept.

I’m actually working at getting “Breach” atm, and it’s going great so far.

I think it’s okay as it is… They do the commendations for the coolest things so hard because they should be something rare that is Hard to get…

Breach is not Hard to get I’ve Played around 270 Games whitout trying to get this stance and I’ve 2 or 3 of the unsc ordionance weapons on the Last Level…

I voted for "Not exactly, but, they should make it easier. "

The Plasma Pistol and some Ordnance weapons are too high, as is Crawler Sniper for the Enemies section.

Having two ways to unlock each piece is overkill though in my opinion. They just needed to put more thought into the values they put on some.

I for one think its stupid that 343 forces you to play certain game modes and use specific weapons you dont like just to unlock the armor you do like.

Personally i like were most of the accommodations are at, I think some things should change to fit more what the weapons are used for. PP for instance(though I have it mastered) should be kills AND emp assists. you know what the weapons are used for.

But really as they are now it gives peeps something to work for(especially us 130s). I have Breach , as you can see form my avatar and I have believe but the covenant on…yea iono how long thats gonna take to get seeing as thats mostly all personal ordinance T_T sigh… But anyway, if I didn’t have those ot work on…I prolly woulda quit a while ago. Games fun but can be really frustrating with all the bolt shots and such, helps to have a goal :slight_smile:
