I got two silver Req packs…I don’t even know how many games I’ve lost this weekend…but the reward to my suffering through it was two silver packs lol. At some point you just have to laugh at all of this.
All of what? Mythic is supposed to be tough. Don’t want to struggle so much play some Heroic. That is what I play as I don’t want warzone firefight to feel like a chore.
Two silver packs for what? Commendations? Those aren’t the rewards for playing Mythic Firefight. You rewards are a high amount of XP and REQ points, more than any other game type.
Don’t think that it wasn’t rewarding to do it in itself, awesome defeat but play a couple more and you’ll have enough to buy gold packs left and right

My understanding was that there was a high chance of random req pack drops, with a higher chance of receiving up to 2-3 gold packs.

Everyone keeps saying this. Go play a different game mode isn’t the proper way to deal with a broken one. I wouldn’t be on this forum if I didn’t care enough about this franchise to see these mistakes corrected in the next iteration. If you want something fixed, you don’t just go do something else and pretend like it isn’t an issue.
Mythic isn’t hard for me, in fact I rarely finish lower than top 3-5. The issue I have is that it’s too hard for my team. It’s always the same, we make it to the last round, only to spend all of our time hitting the final bosses over and over with little to no effect, until the timer runs out, despite the fact that everyone is in tanks and rare or higher vehicles. Or my personal favorite, they spawn elder hunters in the back of the base, and an army of instantly respawning elites in front of them. All of which can kill you in a few hits. That wouldn’t be such an issue, if you could actually do a fair amount of damage to the bosses when you finally do break through and start hitting them with your power weapons.
But what happens? You barely scratch them, and you spend a 90 seconds running back to a req station to rearm and try again, and in the time that it took you to do that, another army of covenant spawned, and by the time you break through the lines again, it’s too late. My point is not that I don’t want a challenge, my point is that in certain situations it is literally impossible to complete the game. Much like the elite melee from Reach, which was literally so fast that you couldn’t track it in theater, AND it was a one hit kill. There is simply not enough time in some scenarios of Mythic Firefight for you to finish them, even if everyone is on point. To me that doesn’t spell out a worthwhile gaming experience, that my friend is a broken and unbalanced game mode.
Those two REQ packs are just the daily Firefight and Warzone win packs. The gold packs you get are if you complete the FF commendations if I remember correctly.

Ahh no, unfortunately there’s no direct effort/time based award for playing Mythic other than the packs you get for commendations. Have you gotten 100 wins in Firefight already? If not, you get 6 gold packs for that if I recall correctly. You can get three packs per day without spending any REQ points: daily login, Firefight daily win, and Warzone daily win. You can get the latter two together by winning one game of Firefight on any difficulty.

Pretty much everything you describe is what makes it mythic. Mythic is going to be even more difficult than legendary. You weapon choices, tactics have to be perfect and even then you will need some luck more likely.
