To start off, let me say I love the way 343i handles microtransactions in the way they are not PtW and are mostly astetic, to compliment gameplay and add customization to our characters

Que friend rant
But as a csgo player/twitch streamer I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME, see how someone would view $2.99 being a realistic price point for such little content with no resale value or community market backing it! I know I’m never buying them for that much, because it’s outrageously overpriced for something that’s not even tradable and can be obtained by playing 4 or 5 matches. Dont get me wrong, if they where .99 a piece I would buy $10 worth so I could support 343i and get some cool gear for my Spartan! In the end, it’s all unlocks me through playtime so that’s awesome so I can’t be too mad lol.
Also, why do we have full armor sets?!?! It’s a step backwards from halo reach and customizing every piece of armor! Heck, that’s what all us fans really want! let us build our Spartans! With new and old armor! From classic EOD and ROGUE from halo 3, to the new halo 5 armor! Why take that step backwards bro, sounds like your trying to put us in a box, don’t put me in a box bro, you not PC? (South Park joke).
What happend to armor unlocked from achievments? or special things like from halo waypoints section 3? I remember On reach getting excited unlocking all this cool Mystical content by typing in those codes the community had uncovered! I even bought; halo fall of reach novel from how much it made me feel a part of the game! Now grant it, they did give you halo 5 armor for beating every MCC campaign on legendary (but that’s kinda easy to get). come on, Give me special armor for beating halo 2 on LASO haha I’m an overachiever XD. What do we get for getting all the achievments in every halo game? I can’t view all my metals like I could on the Xbox 360 version of halo waypoint. (Speaking of halo waypoint on Xbox one cough cough… I’ll save that for another rant)
also, full RGB color selection for our Spartans, Why; because I want to be a specific shade of teal Damit haha! Can’t tell you how many times I go from game to game and see a different color for the same danm color, the irritation is real lmao. (This also seems to be a hot topic among the Xbox live parties I hop around in!)
end rant
to summarize my thoughts and end on an even better constructive note, here is my overalls solution and what I think the fans would love.
- Armor set seperstion - remove the sets and separate the forearms, shoulders, back, chest, thighs, feet, shins into individual categories
- Add additional armor pieces to sets from reach and the classics from halo 3 (gives us that little extra)
- to compensate the increase in armor variations from all the individual pieces, make the req points/exp earned from
each match increase from by a 1/3 or even up to 1/2 more! (So the player has more armor, and also unlocks the armor at a faster rate; same play time, more rewards). But in the end will be the same about of time spend unlocking all the armors in the game. - Also reduce the price of req packs to $1 to compensate for the additional armor mentioned in point 3. This in turn will also encourage more players to spend money due to the smaller fee associated with the microtransactione, 2.99 is just too much, especially when the game gets older and the population shifts to different games titles or newer games such as as halo wars 2.
5 RGB color selection (because it’s about time for this).
