many reviews stress about how halo 5’s req system is pure micro-transactions. I feel this isn’t true because I have only paid for just the game and found no need to buy packs, after a round of warzone or big team battle I can buy 2 bronze or wait another round for a silver and so on. some say that to unlock every item non-consumable would take hours upon hours, but get this… only some sort of completionist would really care and they should be able to spend this time to get all these items.
I spent more than 9 days on Warzone to unlock 80% of the items. The things that make us waste our time are the fillers such as the vehicle skins and armor skins, unecessary body armors and weapon attachments. 343i made this to mainly prolong our game time in H5 or to simply waste more of our money than we should do.
I don’t like the REQ system. It’s just too random and not rewarding at all. You should only be able to get consumables (certifications included) with it. Armors, helmets, visors, etc. should be unlocked with levels.
