The fact is that the req system is not great. I like the idea of having a chance to get a really good power weapon or vehicle, but when I have to get the customization and permanent Warzone items in the req packs I get mad. 343 had something there in Halo 4. I would love to gain armor from commendations. It would make every armor I get worth it.
I find that the base armor should be gained from rank, while the variants are gained from commendation. People can get what they want by working for it. It would make getting every armor in the game feel a whole lot better. Even the weapon skins and visors would feel nice. As long as they look nice.
The emblems should be the same. Rank up get an emblem. Complete a commendation get an emblem. The req system needs to be fixed if they are going to have it in Halo 6.
Also the permanent Warzone items should be rank unlocks. The weapon variants can be commendation unlocks.
Here are my ideas for the req system:
-
Have the RNG portion stay with warzone. The people who don’t play warzone are forced to unlock things for warzone every time they open a pack. If the req packs are exclusive to warzone, then the only arena players wouldn’t have to worry about getting loadout weapons, power ups, power weapons, and vehicles.
-
Make “credits” req points. This would allow people to spend the req points on cosmetics OR req packs. They’d have to choose which one they want to buy. To make it so that you couldn’t just save up and buy the best armor, you’d have to rank up so you could buy the armor.
-
Make microtransactions give you rp. Instead of buying a silver pack or a gold pack, you’d buy 5,000 rp or 10,000 rp.
-
Make some cosmetics attainable through commendations/achievements. Do I really need to explain more?

That a pretty good idea.

Thank you 
It’s just a cash grab by Microsoft /343 and it never should have been added
Then we need to make a noise about it. Together we can show we don’t need the req system. Let’s not let Halo become pay to win, or just a default shooter. We need Halo back. Not the next Call of Duty, or the next joke.

I dunno man the next Call of Duty looks pretty great.
It does. But there is no need for micro transactions.
You know, I like the REQ system because it gives noobs a chance. I’m not that great so it can be hared to earn commendations. Look at my Service Record for proof. Yeah it is kind of frustrating sometimes, but the pros outweigh the cons.

Well no. There really isn’t any need for those ever.

I’m not saying that it should be removed. I like the chance of getting these random weapons and vehicles. That should stay in, but the armor and the customization in general should not be RNG.

Ok. I get that. I also think that random for customization is cool too though, because you might get an armor set and think “Oh! I’ve never seen that! I like it!”

I can see why. But most of the armor aren’t good. I love getting them, but the only detail is small, and unrecognizable. You can’t tell what specific armor it is from looking at it. But I do agree.

Yeah ok.
You get a good amount of emblems from commendations

Again this is an awesome idea! Like standalone req packs for customization right?

The RP would be credits, where you could buy specific cosmetics or buy a req pack that is RNG but only gives you warzone stuff.
All of these would be great changes to the REQ system. But that is not going to happen. Where is the incentive to buy more packs. They want it random so people might be willing to pay real money to get what they are after. If you could get what you wanted, then the system would stop generating money, and they don’t want that.
I think it’s a valid statement that this system needs to change, after all, the experience as a whole went down fast in the time of playing for something like that.
Why open the packs when you know there’s a 90% chance you are going to get something terrible, I still stand beside the credit system, or at least these “requisitions” be limited to the weapon aspect, and besides that con, when I open Req packs nowadays, I want weapons, just one more to use in Warzone, or maybe a vehicle. But if you have so many reqs stashed in the gift box, it’ll give you everything BUT what you want! You could argue that it gives you an incentive to play. But when it never drops, truth be told, I say that I’d rather jump on Dark Souls 3, than stick around for something so tedious as this…
