Olive and Timmy helmets given to forgers.(and compass emblem)
I forge all the time, just too much work getting maps noticed…
Is it fair for there to be exclusive helmets/emblem that require you to be chosen…?
Just because you don’t youtube your stuff?
Or beg for play testers?
Sometime life isn’t fair
Tough choice. I’d say it’s… something. Not sure if it’s fair or not (and the helmets look really average anyways)

Doesn’t mean people don’t want them.
The emblem makes sense.
But two helmets that are given out exclusively?!?!
I fair maybe, I mean the helmets arent that good looking though.
flaming recon helmet… nuff said
But why do you care? CQB is coming soon.
I honestly would much prefer the emblem to the helmets anyway since it is a lot cooler in every way and people would actually notice it.
People saying that helmets are ugly or average at best doesn’t mean it is still unfair. There’s people that makes wonderful maps and just because they don’t beg for testers or aren’t on the “cartographers club” the won’t be featured.
Any if you can make a wonderful map and you won’t be featured, therefore you won’t get the helmet. So yeah OP, I agree that this method Is unfair.
I agree that it is very unfair.
People need to quit being greedy, the helmets are more than fair and not everyone deserves them.

Nothing in this game really stays exclusive. Remember Helioskrill? 343 gave us the illusion it was until they added it to the req pool shortly before launch.
Not that it matters really. Olive looks bad IMO, and Timmy looks like another EVA variant.
I think the problem in this is not that there is a new way to unlock gear, but rather that getting a forge map or mode selected for matchmaking is an extremely subjective field limited to only a handful of extremely skilled people. It’s not an accessible grind for anyone like Achilles.
I think the subjectivity of forge is what makes it unfair, not that don’t think forgers don’t deserve something for their efforts.
I’m fine with forgers getting it. I’m not fine with it being exclusive to forgers that have to be hand picked. That isn’t at all fair, especially considering it involves facets outside of the game itself to get publicity.

Please explain what you have done to deserve the helmet then.
It’s like complaining that someone at your work got a raise/promotion for working hard and you didn’t get anything for doing the opposite.

Don’t believe I said I deserved it. I said hand picking from a pool of great maps isn’t fair to other great forgers who might have been overlooked because they didn’t have a popular YouTube/twitch, or they weren’t active enough in other online communities. I believe stuff in the game should be earned within the game, not dependant on outside factors.
It’s like when two people put equal work in towards a promotion, but one got selected over the other because they were golf buddies with the boss.

I can see that, but I definitely don’t agree with it. It being hand picked makes it special. If people want it that bad then they have to put in the work to get its name out there.

Receiving special treatment and being fair do not go hand in hand. Even if a person does jump through all those hoops, it’s still a toss up. Sure it could be a great map, you might even get a featurette in the community update, but if they don’t feel like it’s matchmaking material, then oh well. Have a pat on the back.
Not every map implemented is good either. I’m sure it’s a pretty popular opinion that minotaur sucks, it’s by far the game type I see people instantly quit out of the lobby the most. But someone at 343i liked it enough to plug it in. Again, playing favorites. Both Orion II and Pegasus II have horrible frame drops, but because they were homages of 343i originals, they got picked, even though they have no right to be in matchmaking with their instability.
Secondly, there’s no telling when, how often, or for how long they will continue refreshing the playlists.
To that end I feel like some picks will ultimately boil down to “right place at the right time” mentality. Like with the BTB maps. Majority of them were completely broken at the playlist launch. You could get out of nearly every map, breach walls in a few, exploit invisible barriers, the list goes on. But they were convenient picks to throw into the pool.
I and many others paid $500 for the Halo edition of a Xbox one which came with a variant of fotus armor. I am pretty sure this armor can be obtained in game with reqs packs. Now the same thing for the players who bought Master Chief collection and put hard work into the getting the helioskrill, for it is as well obtainable in reqs now. It is aggravating that stuff that cost money and was assumed to be exclusive to a specific item can be obtained in game but this olive helmet is being made exclusive and comes free with Halo 5 and if you are selected by a developer you get it. Now I personally will not be worrying about not ever getting the helmet since I am looking forward to the Halo Reach Recon coming in 2017.
It’s a reward for those who created something worthy of being in matchmaking and were lucky enough to get chosen. It’s fair.
