Question about Req

So i’m pretty on the edge about the whole idea of req and req packs, will req packs be the only way to earn armor, visors, etc…? Because if that’s the case i’m not a fan. I like the satisfaction of earning something like a helmet through gameplay, and not receiving it by chance. This is vaguely similar to Call of Duty Advanced Warfare and their supply drops, getting better weapons just by chance. All that I really care about is the helmets, and I understand that it’s strictly cosmetic, but it gives me a goal to work toward in halo.

It seems like it’s gonna be a mix of req packs and the halo 3 system
