So let’s go over this,
-
I’m happy that they’re bringing those skins into the normal rotation. I’m now reduced from frustrated to neutral with the REQ system. I hate those timed exclusives, especially ones locked behind micro transactions.
-
I’m dissapointed there isn’t a base Mark V(B). I’d wear the armor almost all the time, since it’s one of my favourites. Kat’s or Emile’s will have to suffice.
-
It’s driving me nuts. That better not be a god-damn Reach DMR. I’m gonna lose it if I don’t see my rugged AR return. I love the block’ier look on some modern assault rifles, and the Reach AR is the closest I’ll get to that. The thing making me continue to hope it is is the yellow spot.
-
I think most of the update is in forge. The REQ list would be short without the already seen weapon skins (except for that new one), and I remember people saying they’d probably add Forge World 2.0. Also we’ve seen screenshots of new forge -Yoink-, and I thing there was talk about pre-built structures once.
-
The ONI thing is also driving me nuts. They didn’t pull a Halo: CE Magnum and let us try to come up with ways to disappoint ourselves, they just shut down the “imagination” and now all we can do is jerk it to this one picture. Of an ONI symbol. -Yoink-.
-
Plasma rifle is cool. I’m wondering why they would make it Brute only, but cool redesign.
I’m fine with this update. I could complete my REQ collection now, but I’d rather keep taking the break from Halo so that I can actually appreciate this pile of REQs and new stuff when I come back. Also, as for my rating for the update, with 10 being best, and 1 being worst, I’d give it a solid “I’ll play it” out of 300.
