The Olive helmet doesnt look too great to begin with so it isnt a huge deal but only about 20 or so players will ever get the helmet considering how its awarded. The requirements are just a bit too exclusive. Maybe if it was like “Host 50 custom games online” or “Find all of the hidden Olives in the forge maps/campaign missions” then Id be happy but lets be honest, no matter how hard 99.99% of us try we’ll never get a forge map in matchmaking, the average person just isnt that good at forge. Hopefully they’ll release the helmet in a year or two for everybody or at least alter the criteria for unlocking it. Being a perfectionist, it bugs me that I won’t have every helmet in the game and theres nothing I can do about it.
There’s already a few threads about this topic, might want to post there. Don’t wanna clutter up the forums.
They could make a separate limited time offer pack for those who aren’t forgers.
Smh… Sad to see players don’t think that other players who put so much work into something get a special award… jealousy perhaps?

No its impossible for anyone especially those who do put in the hard work in maps. They can’t just be about looks they have to be functional for a multitude of game types.

Only saw one and it didnt cover the aspect of it that I want to discuss
And LethalQ I dont think that people who have youtube channels and publicity should be rewarded, no. Dont be that guy, I see you on a lot of posts and majority of the time youre that guy. A snide comment from you on every thread to boost your post count isn’t productive to the community.
The helmet doesn’t look like it is worth complaining about. If you had a map you made featured in matchmaking, odds are you would want some exclusive item that most others wouldn’t be able to get.

Not true, if you can design a map/gametype that is unique enough post it in the map submission thread and cross your fingers. Ske7tch is a fair dude, if you do something even slightly out of the ordinary there’s a good chance you could get your map in MM, especially if you design maps AND minigames for Action Sack.

This helmet is going to cause a flood of map submissions and matchmaking doesnt have room for anymore than like 5 or 6 new maps per refresh soooo even if your map is amazing it probably won’t be the top .05% that makes the cut.

Not to mention people are going to be petty, down vote eachother and refuse to help test other maps. Forge has just become competitive.
Only problem I have with these helmets giving out as a reward is a lot of average Joe’s that makes a awesome maps with awesome gametypes might not ever get noticed unless you know someone in the Halo Community that’s really high up there that has connections to 343 but I could be completely wrong there’s a lot of ways to get in contact with a 343 employee and showing off your stuff so hopefully that they will be proactive on searching for awesome new game types and maps and not just focusing on a small group of really great for forgers.

Achilles brought the biggest hardcore competition to Warzone and this has just brought it to forge. Why does every unlock require challenging other players? Why cant we have the vidmaster challenges where we work together, explore the campaign, and be a community instead of competing with eachother. These unlock ideas are dividing the community and pulling it further apart for a petty prize.
Wow. People are way too entitled.
There’s nothing wrong with creating an incentive for more people to strive to make matchmaking worthy creations. And giving those who succeed a badge of honor.

Entitled? Well I like to think Im entitled to in game content after forking over more than 750 dollars total for an xbox, Halo 5 copy, controller and external hard drive due to the size of these updates.

Not true, use a group of your friends to test maps, or better yet, use the custom browser.
I assume there will be a map like system or something like that in the future and players will earn the helmet when they hit a certain amount of likes/downloads.

Absolutely true, I already know people doing this. Smurfing accounts for added effectiveness.

I have a few ALT accounts, but I only use them for recreation, not for screwing with players in MM. But yeah having a group of friends DOES help.

¯_(ツ)_/¯ a group of friends pales in comparison to the community at large. Remember were talking to the same group of players that felt justified repeatedly spawn killing players that couldn’t fight back in warzone all for the sake of an armor. This is going to turn into a massive -Yoink- show I assure you.

You got what you paid for. Never during the transaction for your xbox, your copy of halo 5, your controller, or your hard drive were you promised a pig helmet. And i’m 100% sure you’ll be able to extract value out of those items whether you ever get the helmet or not.
Also, lets not pretend that you havent already recieved tons of in game content. So yeah, you have entitlement issues.
