343i I know that you’re better than this. The purpose of leveling up is to get new gear; armor, vehicles, weapons, etc. Now you have these new gold pack sales in the Req Packs and that practically breaks the game. Don’t wanna earn armor? Buy the $99.99 packs. Getting stuff is meaningless now. Halo 4, when you leveled, up you got something new. Now you don’t have to earn it through gameplay…you’ve become Activision, more about MP/“microtransactions” less about actual Halo Lore…and what happens to Chief and the others.
People wanted an option to buy multiple Gold packs at once without constantly bashing the A button over and over again, one at a time for a pack. All these options introduce is the ability to buy these packs in bulk. Literally, that’s it. How in the world does that come anywhere close to breaking the game?
I don’t buy packs but know people who do will have much better Reqs than me. I don’t care, my Reqs are free! Although I have been tempted to buy the $99 one.
Me not buying it doesn’t mean I’ll lose anyways.
The sad thing is there are people willing to spend $100 on REQ packs to further fuel the microtransactions. For $100 I’d expect to get every armor, helmet, stance, assassination, emblem, weapon skin, etc…
Buying your gear with actual money instead of working for it makes actually getting what you want easy and down right pointless. Albeit the packs are random, but if you want to further fuel 343i’s random need to make stupid money for unknown reasons then go ahead. Halo’s Reach and 4 didn’t require such a thing, Halo Reach was actually fun with Mp and customization, and it still took time. I’ll earn my equipment and not spoil 343i with my hardearned money. Not like Warzone isn’t safe for Casual/Average Gamers. I get better server protection in Arena and that is sketchy.
Why do you care if others want to buy their armor?

DLC is free and you don’t have to purchase the packs if you don’t want to… and you still complain? Man how can you ever be pleased?
I have bought every DLC in the past, and only ever asked them to open it up to everyone for free after it was out for a while. The unlocks are more appreciated when earned through gameplay. The randomness it is given makes it rather meaningless.
All of that doesn’t really matter though because given its financial success I believe this system is here to stay.

Don’t know anyone that asked for that…I’d rather have a filter that sells all my junk from the Warzone items so I can mine the armour instead of having to sell 1 item at a time or at least sell most of the items except for 1 so I don’t leave myself short in Warzone because there’s no way I’m spawning standard mongooses, warthogs with no turrets, etc… I really do hate 343i’s lottery system for the REQ packs, I refuse to pay anything towards those packs since the whole REQ system has ruined Warzone, it could have been as fun as Firefight if they balanced it without adding the REQ system.

Dlc so far has been appalling, many of us were willing to pay for content in previous Halo games because they were of a high quality and yet 343i have chosen to mark Forge maps as dlc which is ridiculous, even more so that they ruined Forge and made some of the worst restrictions in content in dlc and in the core game that I’ve ever seen in any Halo game.
I like it how no one has to buy the packs yet still complain they have the option to buy the packs.

I would rather have rubbish Free DLC that I can play all the time, than good DLC that I will play once or twice and never play again due to no one buying it.
Ehhh so don’t buy it? They put the packs because people were not happy buying one pack at a time. I haven’t spend anything on REQs yet I’m at around 60% on everything. Let the people who wants to buy it to do so it doesn’t affect you in any way, and it founds free Dlc and hcs pool prize.

That’s just you, having rubbish dlc and having us expecting to keep playing it…is going to kill the game. Rather have good maps that I can remember 10 years later, be reminded me of a classic map instead of a forgettable map. That will never happen if 343i keep dishing out underwhelming maps. I’d rather have dlc maps packs that look great instead of terrible maps for the sake of spamming REQ packs that a lot of people don’t want…so essentially people wasting £100+ on worse maps due to a REQ system that is heavily unbalanced, being marked as free content for things that were already supposed to be in the game as standard while many of us who wanted amazing maps could have only spent maybe £30-40 on dlc after the core game and still have forge as an extra.

Don’t see how they thought this was more important than implementing a mass sell button. Should have added that instead, something people are actually vocal about. If I have 50 Carbines, I went to sell them in one go. People buying gold packs over and over shouldn’t be complaining, because they are mashing the button to unlock nice things.

Both are important. I hope they add a mass sell option with the next update, or a trading system.
