So I love Halo 5: Forge. It’s a really fun experience and I love playing with my friends. It’s a great return for Halo to PC and I’m going to spend many more hours playing. What I dislike, however, is that there’s no way for people like myself on the PC to earn packs and thus armor without paying money. I mean, yes, we earn daily packs, we can sell everything in there and earn more points and get closer to the next silver. But it’s not fair that the Xbox guys earn it just by playing and we do not.
I’m so glad that it’s a free product and I completely understand that it wont have the whole hog because it’s a port and it’s free and everything. I imagine the folks of 343 are busy working on Halo 6 and Halo Wars 2 so this wont even be an issue for long, but, It’d be amazing to be able to play and earn stuff for playing like people on Xbox can with Matchmaking.
I dont even think it would take much effort to add some way to earn packs on PC. Maybe enable commendations for matches with 8 or 8+ players?
Anyone else think that this’d be a good idea? I just thought I’d put this here to see what everyone’s thoughts were.
Of they added REQ Points to custom games then they would have to do that on consoles as well, and that means even less people would buy their packs. So I can’t see them doing that, sorry.

I understand, but as AftermaTh XCVII said, if they do it for PC, they’ll need to do it for Xbox. You shouldn’t care much about customization when only playing custom. I understand it’s cool and all, but it’s unnecessary.

But you’re only getting Forge and custom games with PC. These modes don’t earn REQ’s, as well as they shouldn’t. No one should earn REQ’s for hopping in a custom game.

How bout you buy an xbox or the game itself like all the console owners have? You’re already getting a great multiplayer game for free…
Perhaps a special pack 4 u guys. Say a pc map is trending for 2 days you get a guaranteed 1 armor 1 helmet and 1 visor. The longer it trends the higher a chance for it mythic armor. So 2 weeks gets you the wrath armor or something.

Says who? For many people, customization has always been a huge, important factor of the game. Doesn’t matter if it’s in matchmaking, custom games or Firefight. Bungie realized this, which is why you got credits in custom games, and got a lot more credits if you never went online with your profile. It was a way to not punish players who didn’t have the ability to always be online.

Not everybody wants to go spend 400$+ to get a chance at having armour customization… Plus, what does the console version of the game really add? A terrible/forgettable campaign? Very limited matchmaking? The only thing that it offers more is Warzone, but I would gladly give that away for custom games.

There is no “just PC” version. H5:F is an extension of the console game, not a stand alone product. Accounts are shared across both.
It doesnt take a genius to see someone would make a key script to just farm points while afk on pc and have it all carry over to the main game.
