The weekly reward is one of very few ways people are able to get something without paying extra for it, and it’s kind of wild that an emblem that you can’t even see on your armor is considered worthy of grinding for.
My personal outlook is that something that would normally be in a bundle should be the weekly reward each week. A special face plate isn’t bad, but a piece of swag that’s more unique would be better. Maybe even something from the bundles you normally have to purchase. This will only benefit the player base and improve the longevity of the game.
If you put that Ace helmet Attachment in there for instance, I would definitely grind out every challenge because I think it’s cool. That will keep me on the game longer and might encourage me to buy one of the other bundles I see that’s cool.
See where I’m going with this? Rewards need to feel rewarding, and from a business model they need to be exciting enough for people to care. I’m not even saying the emblem is not cool looking, I’m just saying it’s not worth suffering through Tactical Slayer matches or struggling to find BTB matches for. And most importantly it’s not worth wasting challenge swaps for since those are things with a degree of monetary value to the player since you can purchase them.

You can see emblems on your armour, unless you use anything that covers the neck on the MKVII and Reach variants - but I know what you mean, nobody is satisfied with the rewards.

My biggest issue in this regard is once you’re done with the battlepass, the amount of effort it now takes to unlock the weekly reward just isn’t worth it – especially if it’s a variation on something you already have.
I’m not a fan of the challenges, but if I’m going to do them – the weekly should be a really cool weapon skin, attachment or armor piece you cannot get elsewhere. This will be the first weekly reward I won’t be going for.

This makes sense to me.
Might be easier to just make credits earnable in the BP and from challenges. Or have credits be the weekly reward, idk.
Just trying to get away from buying literally everything.
maybe not cosmetics, or armor effects. but weapon/vehicle skins and charms, rather than just… an emblem. i mean, i’m okay with emblems, but when it’s in the weekly reward two times in a row but for a different thing (first was the nameplate then the spartan) then that’s pushing it to just… bloating and not worth it. since you’re grinding for what is the same thing
I agree completely with this sentiment.
But arent’t emblems worth something? Give 343 a break, they are actually giving out free money here. 
Not to mention they’ve given this three different times now as an Ultimate Reward… Nameplate, Gun Emblem and now Armor Emblem.
Is this really what Halo has become?
