Nobody really likes REQs, let’s face it. Adding RNG to customization is dumb, not to mention you can only use like 3/4 of the RNG’d items in warzone itself. Maybe some people JUST want the armor and not the weapon certs.
A system where credits are earned and items specifically bought because the player picked it Trumps a system where the player picks the best out of the few mediocre items he happens to have unlocked.
RNG with the ability to purchase is not bad though. Look at Overwatch. RNG, but if you really want a specific piece, you can save up from 10 loot boxes and buy that exotic skin you’ve had your eye on.
And what is with all the chest armor looking the same? Just me?

Or a compromise between both, Halo 3 and 4 style would unlock rarer armors like Mjolnir MK IV, and you would be able to buy the more default armors like Soldier and seeker. (Not that ANYONE would waste their hard earned credits on it lol)
It doesn’t really matter to me, realistically. I just keep saving my REQ points just to see how much I can save. I’m at 1,330,921. The only things I really care aesthetically would be unlocking some assassinations and maybe a few higher-tiered REQ’s should I EVER play Warzone…

I think a cool system would be Rank, Commendation and Achievement unlocks.
Rank, ranking up your spartan would unlock armour relative to ranks, starting at recruit, onto soldier then warrior and so on.
Commendation will unlock most of the armour. It will work similarly to how the current commendation system works but instead of getting a REQ pack you’ll unlock armour. The idea is that armour is sorted into function, so close quarter based armour will rely on melee, shotgun and sword kills to unlock.
So say H3’s scout, Reach’s and 4/5. the commendation this set would be get 100 Sniper headshots, then 250, 500.
The Achievement system would unlock your special armour like chiefs, Noble’s, Osiris’ ect ect
The credit system comes in when you want the armour, so first you have to unlock it, then you have to buy it. Say you only want CQB but you need the 1000 melee kills, by the time you unlock you’ll have the credits and will have unlocked CQC on the way
Why can’t we just have a good mix of all or just both. have cosmetics that can only be unlocked via gameplay and some in the req system? that would have been the best way to do it.
I really enjoy Reach’s credit system, and having a few armor sets like the Hayabusa tied in to either achievements or beating the campaign on legendary adds meaning and a sense of pride when you wear that armor.

Im my honest opinion Bungie left behind everything 343 needed to make a great Halo game and continue the franchise. In my opinion one of Bungie’s weaknesses when it came to the story is focusing a bit more on character development. Also I would like to see more destruction, show us the convenient glassing worlds, torturing and killing their captives, let us play as another villain. Include Bungie’s art-style for the forerunners. Let us see what the true forerunner constructs can do like their enforcers for example.
