Hey Armor unlocking and Armor sets

I wish that the way you unlocked armor in this game was like halo reach but everything was availible to be bought at the beginning because in my opinion the game would be a lot better and i think that would be better than just testing your luck or wanting to buy packs since you didn’t get what you want but also i wish the Hayabusa set from halo 3 was in this game and also playable elites because i miss that aspect of the game so in the bottom below tell me your opinion

I agree that pretty much any system is better than RNG. Reach had a almost perfect customization system in my opinion. There were no micro transactions and obtaining armors often felt much more satisfying then randomly rolling them. The Hayabusa set unfortunately can never return due to copyright issues. The set belongs to Team Ninja and not 343 therefor they cannot use it in their games. As for Elites returning in matchmaking there’s already a dedicated thread for that which can be found here.

I’m fine with cosmetics like armor and weapon skins being unlocked this way, but I think there should have been a clear progression for unlocking weapons and vehicles for WZ.

I too wished it was like that but 343 isn’t gonna change it, since you’re SR 17 I understand this. I remember back in my early days on Halo 5 I would look at ultra rare and Legendary armor and helmets and I would say “man I wish I had this or that” but all that change when I a fellow Spartan LethalQ and he told me about the silver to gold method, and once I finished the silver pack grind, opening gold packs now is a blast :slight_smile:

And since you’re SR 17 I highly recommend u to do the silver to gold method, you could also set (well I call them rp goals) a daily or weekly goal to earn 50k rp a day if you play daily. Stick to the method and gold packs will be worth opening. :+1:🙆

Yeah but then 343 wouldn’t have made as much money. The way the packs work is it stimulates people’s gambling desires by having them keep testing their luck.

Indeed the pack system did allow for free DLC.

No it didn’t. What we got post-launch wasn’t DLC, it was a way for 343 to finish the game, only problem is, the game should’ve been finished at launch. It’s been proven time and time again the updates we got were content that was intentionally held back just to extended Halo 5s lifespan by hyping players up. The thing is DLC would qualify as new maps and maybe an all new singular game mode. The maps we got were all remixes save for Torque, Tidal, and Barrens/Depths. The game modes we got such as infection and grifball are staples of the franchise that should’ve been around at launch. So no we didn’t get free DLC, all we got was jipped out of a decent Halo title from 343.

I like H5 better because no matter what you can get new armor in a gold pack after like 8 or 9 games. In Reach it gets to the point where you have to play like 100-200 games just for enough credits to buy a left shoulder.

Reach actually provides a grind for a piece of armor you want most whilst Halo 5 just basically buy a pack & get Over 300 reskinned armor sets

I’m SR 17 because i haven’t touched the game since it came out and i started on a new profile but i have to say that method works but make it like halo 3 work to get your armor because having to do such and such was fun
