Halo5 LE Console as Christmas Gift

I picked up the LE console as a Christmas present. So that mean its gunna sit for 2 more months before being unboxed. I saw on the req packs that you get 2 each week for 7 weeks. Does that start from the release of the game or when you account starts playing the game. Also if you miss a week for what ever reason does that mean you miss out on those packs? Also is there anything else I would be missing out on other than just playing the game? Any help would be appreciated.

You get the REQ’s from when you enter the code, from the week you enter the 7 week period begins. So you will get all the REQs you have paid for.

I would like to think that the req packs build up over time like in Battlefield with its battlepacks.

You will get every req-packs until the moment you play halo 5, just like battlefield 4 with its battlepack.

Thanks for the feed back. I didn’t play Battlefield so I didn’t know. I appreciate it!
