I don’t know if people have talked about this for Halo: Infinite or not, but it is a little rant I want to make myself.
I don’t want to be held back by limited time things to unlock everything in the game. What I mean by this is I don’t want there to be a season exclusive emblem for getting a rank in Slayer or having to buy packs to get exclusive items. I want to be able to achieve everything in the game, even if it means getting the highest rank in Slayer. Yes, maybe have a demo people can play to get, I don’t know, Mark IV armor? It has to be a demo anyone can get though, even 10 years after the launch of the game. If there is going to be armor, weapon skins, or even emblems that you have to buy from the store, PLEASE make them not show up as a locked armor set. In every halo game I’ve played, I feel like I have to get every single piece armor that shows up in the customization, same thing with emblems. In Halo 5 it bothers me so much that just because I didn’t get a rank in slayer for a season I can’t have a certain emblem. I know there are other people like this and some of my friends agree with this too. I don’t care if there is criticism about this post, I just wanted to state my OPINION. Not saying it has to be a thing.

I think most people would agree with you. I was reading the Reach forum posts the other day and apparently there is an armor set that you could ONLY get from pre-ordering the game from Gamestop. The guy was still looking for for game codes that he could use to get that armor. It is sad. Ultimately, I am okay with pre-order bonuses, as long as you can earn those things in-game at some point. Buying an armor set really isn’t something of which to be proud.

Yea, I never really thought about that armor until Halo 5 rolled around. I don’t use the armor, but now I feel a little, greedy, you know?

Yeah, I feel the same. Feel bad for people who are perfectionists with Halo who aren’t able to get all of the armor.
I work alot and I dont play xbox alot these days, I’m still trying to unlock helljumper and mark IV in halo 5 but I can’t because for one it’s random for whether I get it or not and second I just don’t have time. I could buy the most expensive gold pack in the game and still not get the armour I wish to posess. It’s not an issue now because I have returned to mcc but still this should be noted for future halo games.
I’m fairly certain they’re gonna do timed events or things like the seasonal emblems. It gets people who want to unlock everything a reason to come to the game and that’s what they want.

Obviously they want people coming back for more, but some people coming back to get a rank so they get that free pack at the end of the season is not the kind of attention they want. It is too small of a burst to have servers full. I know because that’s what I’ve done for Slayer/SWAT ever since I figured out that there were season exclusive emblems (I still play the game, it is mostly Warzone and Custom Game though). I know there are people that go back to have Champion on every single playlist, but 343 could just do major updates to prompt people to play the game. They need to do updates like the Remember Reach update if they want people coming back for more. I have friends that came back to Halo 5 because of that update (Mostly because of the armor). If 343 starts with the core game, wait till the servers start having a noticeable drop in players, and then release an update that brings new maps, weapons, armor, etc, then servers will be full of people are aren’t coming back for that one helmet you have to get by getting kills with a turret or something like that.
I get the sentiment, but limited-run and exclusive items are what get people excited. The group of players who want to collect every item is smaller than the group who wants to have exclusive items. If everything was available to everyone all the time, there would be no real incentive to get a certain piece of armor.
I think All Armour should be earned from completing a task/achievement/commendation.
Have an XP system like Reach that is used to purchase Armour effects, little extras on your Armour or skins ect.
Armour I believe should hold value. You see a guy rocking some awesome looking armour and you know he’s earned it.
Like have a nice set of Armour unlocked from winning 10 games in a row for example. Beating legendary. Getting a killionare.

This is the kind of thing I’m talking about. Having to unlock armor or getting them from a pack system would be great for collectors like me that aren’t able to get online for every single limited time event. Winning 10 games in a row might be a little much, but getting a killionare or beating the legendary campaign would be a challenge everyone could do if they take time to do it. Maybe getting an unfriggenbeliveable would unlock an armor piece like the skull helmet in Reach.
The DLC content definitely should be hidden unless unlocked, those things you cant unlock by traditional means are just a waste of space and mess the menu.
Though I would prefer only armor pieces being unlockable and that emblems would be all unlocked from start since its like the little bit of personality a SPARTAN recruit has in a form of drop of paint before they get access to different gear.

Definitely about the lootbox packs thing, everything should be unlockable without that, but are you also talking about yearly events? Monthly events?
Occurences that grant you unlocks you wouldn’t otherwise get unless you were there?
Cause those are meant to give value to the item in question. Maybe not a lot of people will get it unless they show up to do the event or achieve the quest to get it.
do you mean unlocks that will he there for a limited time and will never come back again?

Yes, I’m talking about those. I have school and are sometimes not able to get on Halo during events like those. It kind of sucks when you are looking in your collection in Halo 5 and seeing a season exclusive emblem and you are not able to get it because you didn’t have the time to play any ranked matches. This isn’t me whining and trying to make people feel sorry for me, don’t think I’m going there. I know I would have used some of the seasonal emblems like March 2016 Season, Season 7, and Season 8 (Those are the exact names). Same thing can be said about the Beta emblems (Even though I actually had time to play it since I had the MCC). I think yes there should be a reward for completing the season like a couple req packs depending on the rank you got. I also think no there should not be seasonal or event items you can only get at that point in time. It is the game pretty much saying, “Yo, drop whatever you are doing and get on this game. There is an exclusive item only available until the end of the week.”
