There’s nothing that is more irritating about this game than getting emblems in gold packs.
Then use silver packs to get most of them. Saves you REQ points.
It’s like getting socks at Christmas. Sure, I might use them, but it’s not what I wrote Santa about.
Why are emblems even in REQ Packs to begin with? They just seem like filler items to me and it is an odd change from just letting people pick out their own emblems in previous Halo games.

Hey, I got some sweet Soul Eater and Fallout socks this year and I proudly wear them

Yeah it’s really a pain. Especially since I don’t know how many of them are commendation vs REQ packs!!!
Speaking of Emblems, I still have three Commendations that I can’t confirm an Emblem for: Spartan Laser, Mongoose Destroyer, and Flag Mastery. Spartan Laser and Mongoose Destroyer are each one of the following: Triad, Cowboy Ninja, Platform, Pivot, or Screw. Flag Mastery is an Ultra Rare, but I can’t figure out which one. The Sentient (Legendary) Emblem is supposed to be granted for SR 115, but another Rare Emblem is granted for that level for sure. I’m certain that it’s granted for SR 149, but no on has reached that level yet so I can’t get confirmation. If you have any of these Commendations, and know what Emblem they gave, it would be extremely helpful. I’m making a complete list of every Emblem and how to Unlock them, in case you were wondering.

Completely dislike how they worked that out. Let us pick the common and uncommon ones, then attach the other ones to commendations and levels if you insist on letting people unlock emblems. But they’re just unnecessary steps in req packs.
Yeah, I have all the common, uncommon, and rare armor and helmets. I have half the ultra rare and a few legendary. I really want the mk iv helmet. All of that is why I’m opening gold packs at this point.
They ARE filler. Have none of you ever played a collectible card game or a minis game, anything that requires the purchase of “booster packs” with randomized game elements?
With physical products, this is done because allowing players to purchase only the items they want limits sales to only the most powerful or useful items (cards/chips/whatever). If everyone only bought a single item, then there would be no diversity, and therefore no value in the product. Blind purchases are made to introduce an element of chance, and rarer items are produced in smaller quantities to drive up aftermarket prices, continuing to give the item it’s ascribed value.
The concept is exactly the same with digital products (Hearthstone works this way, I think, but I’ve not played it).
That said, releasing a new “set” every freaking month and padding it with dozens of garbage cards like emblems that no one appears to care about* is real -Yoink-. Most games that do randomized booster pack models do not have such frequent releases to keep from flooding their own market and stepping on their own toes, but that appears to be lost on 343i, just like MMORPG loot table concepts were lost on Bungie with the [initial] release of Destiny.
*(I haven’t seen any threads showing love for them, but someone will start one now because this is the internet and “to hell with your blanket statements, I’m my own man!”)
They´re just a filler…cause some impatient players will open up their wallets to go through em 
Or so they hope, that is. Many of us who will never spend a single cent just have to deal with it, which doesn´t concern them in the slightest.
I know, man. I’ve said it before, I wish all the armor could be bought with money directly and individually.
I’ve said this for a while now. The more stupid emblems they add, the less likely we are to get better stuff in reqs. I hate opening a gold pack, and seeing a legendary item. Then I’ll get my hopes up for something great only to find a emblem.
Jaja is quite annoying to look good armor and instead you get a silly emblem TnT
but sometimes they come about that I can not deny are pretty good
They just in there because even the artist became sick of reskinning the same armor iver and iver again
I would care more about this if I couldn’t probably get most of them out of the way in a short evening of playing the game. It’s not a big deal.
I completely agree. 343i needs to stop considering emblems as part of their “free DLC” package.

How?
But an actual -Yoink!- emblem!
I want to know what commendations unlock what emblems at least on waypoint…but yeah all emblems should be unlock via challenges only…
