It took me until SR 82 to unlock all rare and lower reqs so that I could start my gold pack grind and finally unlock some of the stuff I wanted. Then you flood the game with a bunch of fugly new reqs that I don’t want and have to unlock before I can buy golds again setting me back 2 weeks or more.
Thanks.
Boo -Yoinking!- hoo, you have to play the game more.
Just means you and others will be playing more halo. I don’t see how this is bad.
I’ll contact the authorities.
… wait, I can get Silvers again? Cool. That’s good to know.
worthless armor, emblems, and weapon skins. i agree its kind of frusterating. wish we had real game types,playlists, a significant # of new maps instead(forge maps are the standard i guess, i know theres thousands out there). for people not aware of the updates contents (a lot of players) they would keep buying gold only to find they overspent for uncommon unlocks. all the req stuff should’ve been added at launch, you can’t tell me they didn’t have those upgraded carbines all along. i understand withholding stuff so you can release it “free” later, but its not much to get excited about at all.
point is most people won’t stick around to play and get the REQs if there isn’t the variety necessary to keep them around in the first place. i have no real incentive to play just to get a pizza skin ar and some new emblems. the new maps are hardly worth playing, its only 2 maps anyway. riptide is ok on strongholds, kinda not much fun on slayer. new assault map hasn’t come up in 5 tries… so ya overall a pretty empty update.
oh and i got the full auto carbine. pretty cool. not that great. i probably won’t be pulling those out ever.
Stop your complaining. this how progression works. you make to 1 tier of unlocks after unlocking all the prev tier. they add in more tier 1’s making you stop tier 2’s and work on those for abit. quit crying and get to grinding. instead of coming on here you would’ve had a silver already. beside ill be back to gold packs by Thursday anyway. there are very few silver tier unlocks added so be happy for that. would you like 200 more common-Rare unlocks?
Thank you for sharing
It only adds like 12 or it may have been 14 silver packs. Not that much. Same for gold. I enjoyed opening them up today with the million req points I had saved. Still have over 800,000 left.
I doubt it’ll take people that long to earn 14 silver packs. If that sets you back two weeks then you can’t possible expect to ever finish the grind for gold packs to begin with.

No, that isn’t how progression works. In any other annoying grindy game (which is what Halo has become) they at least give you time to acquire the top tier stuff BEFORE loading the game down with more garbage to unlock. This one just loads up on the stuff no one wants to prevent you from getting what you want. The req system is cancer.
I don’t want any more reqs period. I want ACTUAL content. Original maps, gametypes and playlists. Not reskinned garbage.
Apparently that is a problem? Should take you literally less than 2 days to unlock the rares and uncommons that came in. Or even 1 day.

Well, if they gave you what you want, who would pay money for req packs?
I don’t want anything added to the req packs either, they are annoying. I stopped caring for them a few days into the game. New game types and real maps please.
Same I literally got onto gold packs yesterday at level 82, ah well another 13 silvers it is. at least I’ll get the new stuff straight away.

That’s if you play this game like it’s a full time job…usually the best I can do is one silver per hour or so

Sorry, some of us have jobs. I can’t play Halo for 18 hours a day to grind garbage in warzone. I actually want to get back to playing arena before I die of old age.

RNG is not progression.

the Req system is a Progression system with RNG built in. you really cant just sit here with a straight face and say it isn’t. because all the people who finished bronze and then the silver and even some people who have finished Gold entirely prove its a progression based system.

isnt how progression works? then you havnt been gaming for very long. this is how progression works. and this is how they do it. after the December update dropped you literally had a Month to get all your silver unlocks done. guess what happened? i got them all done and started enjoying Ultra Rare and Legendary unlocks just raining down on me. it seriously takes only a few hours to get 5 Silver packs. you need 14 in total. you should be done in a few days not 2 weeks. unless you get on play a few games buy 1 silver and get off for the day then yes itl take you 2 weeks. but at that rate then you dont deserve to get all the good stuff from the Gold packs. they shouldn’t just hand you everything you should work for it. btw 80% of the stuff is for warzone only. you say you only play arena? so why are you caring so much anyway? so yes they give you time to get everything. hey you dont like the Req system thats fine thats your opinion i personally like the Req system. i like opening the packs and seeing all the assortment of cards i get from my time playing.
and “Actual” content you are getting next month so you can calm down. we are getting exactly what you want in that post. We are getting completely new maps. Gametypes and playlists and a little more. the Grav hammer is coming back. some are speculating we may see the return of some brute equipment. the M6D is also returning soon.
Jealous, I’m SR 83 and I still have loads to go before opening the gold packs.
Personally I don’t get the big deal with the whole dress up thing and if you really want to play arena then just play it you will earn req points and boosts cards anyway. Why does it matter what you or others look like if all you want to do is play in a competitive setting?
What 343 should do though is this keep the req system as is and unlocks how they are but add the following options;
I think the above would probably keep a lot more people happy than the current system it wouldn’t both me as I would personally just stick to the current packs we have and buy them with my req points earned from playing games.
