Removing REQ system means removing REQ variants

Many people want the REQ system removed for various reasons, but do you guys realize that it would also mean removing REQ variants? Now, I’m not trying to defend the REQ system at all. I don’t care if it stays, goes, or changes.

The reason I believe they would also be removed is that I just can’t see them working in previous halo games. They don’t really work at all in Halo 5’s arena sandbox. That was perhaps the only negative aspect of Super Fiesta. Now, I get it, it’s casual, it’s caos, it’s Fiesta. I still love Super Fiesta and could play it all day, but REQs just don’t work on Arena maps.

The only varients that might possibly work without the REQ system is Prophets Bane and the Hannabal variants because of their sheer differences in gameplay.

Ok, knowing that removing the REQ system would most likely mean removing REQ variants aswell, do you think it’s worth it? Discuss.

Yeah, I want REQ skins to be removed along with REQ system.

I agree. It’s sad to think that most of them are just filler REQ. Tundra/Woodland variants, Rally, Sword variants, most loadout weapon attachments, and most 2nd tier variants are nothing but filler.

I’d be completely fine with it
why do we need 32 ARs that do basically the same thing with small variations?
why do we need seven different versions of the warrior helmet each with slightly different patterns from the next

we don’t require 10 different shades of green visors

I’d take quality content over quantity any day

It’s pathetic that 343 calls those “new” things. The REQ variants are very cheap way to produce content. The funny thing is those items are supposed to be a part of Halo lore.

I agree. I wonder who thought Knights Blade would be a “great” addition to Warzone.

The only reqs I really care about are the Tier 2(2nd varients) and Tier 3(Mythic) varients, which provide actual differences in weapon mechanics and are generally fun to use. Other than that I could care less what happens to the req system, it’s just the customization possibilities with having variations in forge is really nice. The biggest filler, as said in the quote below, are the tier 1 (first varients) weapon and vehicles. which are only minor state boost and serve no other function, save the Rally hog, which has a purpose in being a Race vehicle.

The skin based vehicles could easily become an option in forge, simply back a base, choose a color, and bam customization vehicle skins. This way they don’t have to be reqs and 343 can but in, say three variations of base skins and let the community do what it does best with forge. The big exceptions of course are the ultra/oni/temple/Hannibal/rally vehicles which do have different functionalities like handling, speed, weapons, and things like that, Hannible being the most obvious.

It’s pathetic that 343 thinks we’re excited to get these “new” variants.

Exactly. I was really hoping Halo 5 would have vehicle skins implemented just like weapon skins are, but these kind of ruined it.

It’s also pathetic seeing people strongly support the system and skins.

It could be better with seperate vehicle, loadouts, weapons and power ups, customisation, and faction based packs.

Having a slightly higher cost than their silver and gold counter parts of around 50-100% more with silver and gold being the cheapest and still having all the stuff and instead of selling packs they should sell req points.

More importantly when they do, do the special expensive packs that are limited time only they should have them out for long enough to save up for it to buy one. I had played as much as I could to save up 100,000 and the pack was gone by the time I had 77,000, I had started selling reqs just as it was gone, and I had also already saved up a little bit too.

I can see why people would support it. Personally I neither support it nor am against it.

Packs like Month of Mythic (which I believe is what you are referring to) shouldn’t even exist in the first place for reasons already stated in other threads.

All the REQ variants help to improve Machinima, Customs and in some cases lore.

If they remove the REQ system they should at least keep them in Forge and Customs in future titles on day one.

If they are kept along with the current Warzone system they should not be rewarded by RNG but be linked to certain skillful challenges.

I know, I have never seen somebody trying to melee a vehicle.

Exactly. And they cost just as much as an energy bayonet

How about instead of making 100s of variants. Make like 10 new guns and a couple new vehicles.

While I’d be definitely happy to see all the filler content out the door, there’s some genuinely good stuff too. Hannibal variants, ONI variants of vehicles for example. These add another level of variety to the game, which is good. However, that being said, they can exist without a req system.

I would miss the new TacMag. That is a thing of Beauty.

Also, there NEVER should have been a real world price tag attached. I don’t mind grind for & then spending points, but the real cash option feels dirty, like paying for (false) love.

I’m on about all the 100,000 packs not just the mythic packs.

Though I think they should be cheaper and with the mythic pack I think it should of just been a cert with 12 rare or higher req weapons. If it was easily accessible by every one then it wouldn’t be that big of a deal cause we would all be equal in obtaining it. I think 50,000 points would of been more acceptable that would work out costing about 15 times more than if you got it from a gold pack but not including the 12 rare or better items I subtracted their cost from the calculation. Though I think other special packs should maybe cost 40,000 I think with specific cert and reqs it would need to be 50,000.

So you would only get 3 of them for 50,000 point and 12 random items.
