I am someone who dislikes the reqs system, so I will try to explain why. Let me say that this is my opinion, I do not see this as fact. Whether or not the req system is good is subjective. I also understand and respect that people will disagree, which is fine because it doesn't make you less or more of a person.
Here's why I dislike it.
The reqs system is a microtransactions system that is essentially a random number generator, or you can call it a slot machine. You recieve these reqs by putting in money or playing multiplayer. These reqs are used in Warzone, and the amount money you put in or the amount of time you just play multiplayer will determine your chances of winning. You do not earn your reqs by performing certain tasks in multiplayer, rather you just get reqs by playing. Skill is irrelevent in determining if you get reqs, it is just random.
Warzone games are essentially just games where people only use power weapons and vehicles. It is hard for new players to win regardless of skill due to not having power weapons or vehicles, so it isn't that enjoyable.
I dislike microtransactions and random numbers in all games, I don't like that your options of getting reqs are either using money or playing. I would prefer if you had to complete challenges or tasks that are not arbitrary in multiplayer to get reqs. These challenges could could be get 5 heads in a slayer match, kill 10 infected in infection, score 3 times in grifball, win 3 games of CTF, and so on.
To make Warzone games more balanced and fun you could make it where certain items can't be used until a certain time in the game. a little while no reqs, than allow weapon variants for normal weapons, than weaker vehicles, tha power weapons, than power vehicles. This could make a more balanced game for new and old players, and seems fun.
Those were why I dislike the reqs system, and a small alternative to the way to get them and use
I understand Halo 5 isn't the only game that has a system like this, and I don't like it in any game.
What I am disappointed by is how some of the community act in response to criticism of the reqs system. Many act like if you don't like it you are just bad at the game, or you're not an adult, or your opinion doesn't matter. I feel this is because of 343i because of the animated video defending the reqs. This video communicates that only kids don't like the reqs system, and if you complain. your opinion doesn't matter and you should shut up. Yes the video is meant be funny, but that is what it communicates, so it influences the community.
and yes people are immature on both sides, and it's wrong for both.
anyway this has been my opinion, and if you disagree that is fine.

Warzone is a REQ-zone.
It essentially evolves around using REQ's, which is the ONLY game mode that rely's on them.
You don't use your REQ's, you don't win. It's simple. Trying to take out an enemy team with Rockets, Lasers, Snipers, Answers, Tanks, and Aircrafts with your SMG and Battle Rifle isn't going to do you ANY good.
You're gonna get **** on. Plain and Simple.
You need to make the match expensive, not super expensive (Unless you're facing iSpiteful) otherwise you're going to get you arse kicked.
Same goes for Firefight. It's freaking Warzone, play it like you should. If you can't beat them or do a lot of damage with your BR, DMR, SMG, etc. Then why the hell are you still trying, thinking you'll get somewhere? Cause you know you won't, or hope someone else will? Essentially you're telling everyone, you don't really care and ruining a good game for everyone.
That's my problem with Warzone, if you're a new player how are you expected to do well or enjoy it? Warzone relies on the random number slot machine that you can either out money into or just play multiplayer (skill is irrelevant). You don't earn you just get. It's pointless. Today's games you don't have to do certain things I.e. ten headshots, 10 wins, so on earn things, you just play and you get.
Want to a tank in warzone? Either throw money st the system or play until you randomly get it. Super fun!!
Warzone isn't fun to me because weapons you spawn with initially are useless, and it requires power weapons and vehicles that you get by spending actual money or just playing an arbitrary amount of games until you randomly get it.
So yeah, pay to play and pay to win essentially, or play an arbitrary about of games until you get what you need randomly.

Yes the idea is for people to throw money into it, just like every other similar system. But unlike the rest, you don't need to. And no, you will unlock everything because it will always give you a new unlock unless you buy Bronze but that's out of the question.
"Pay to win" is certainly wrong. It doesn't matter that I have Jorge's Chaingun, I still can't use it until I get level 6 REQs . Even when I do spawn one in, I'm still killable. Same with every other power weapon and vehicle.
Warzone isn't fun without power weapons and vehicles? How? I never use any of my REQs, ever. I still destroy beat boxers and it's enjoyable.
EDIT: You are SR9. You can't really complain about not getting what you want because, going on some estimates, you have opened about 8 packs max. 16 unlocks.
Plus it's much better now as you can unlock two items buy still unlock an emblem alongside that whereas you couldn't at launch.
Every time I play, I get killed by power weapons and vehicles every time I walk out.

Banned because you like the reqs system in Halo 5

I don't understand why it's such a bad thing. I would type a whole answer but the video 343 released explaining REQs does it for me.
It's a slot machine random number generator. You don't earn reqs, it is completely random, whether or not you are an awesome player, it doesn't make a difference in reqs. You could play for ever, and you have a chance to never get everything there is to offer. It's meant for people to put money into it. It's made Halo and warzone "Play to win" and essentially "pay to play" because Warzone isn't fun unless you have a ton of reqs for power weapons and vehicles.

What was the greatest question you've been asked and what was your response?
The one you asked, and this is my response.

As much as I adore Halo, I still wouldn't buy a Halo game unless it earns my money ie Halo Wars 2 does not but Halo 5 does. I won't buy Halo 6:
1. If they remove the REQ system
2. If they revert to classic game play
3. If they remove Warzone
I would have put Splitscreen up there but I've lived without in Halo 5 and I can do the same with Halo 6. Same with Forge and Theather, they don't bother me at all.
The req system made me not want to buy Halo 5 for the longest time.
-
I'll take a truth

What would it take for you personally to not buy Halo 6? I am not making a topic to bash on 343i, or for other people to bash on 343i, but I just want to create discussion. Will you continue buy Halo no matter what because you love the franchise, or are you willing to not buy the game unless it earns your money?
Here are reasons that I won't buy the game at launch.
If it doesn't have split screen at launch
If it doesn't have Forge at launch
If it doesn't have Theater mode at launch
If it doesn't have both a competitive(arena) and social playlist at launch.
If it doesn't have a file share at launch
Here is something I don't think is likely, but if it doesn't have online co-op at launch.
What would it take for you to not buy Halo 6 at launch?

I Regret taking this on. Damn puns.
What's the stupidest thing you've done?
Also I'll take a dare from someone
I dare you say in the chat box that Kakashi is the worst name ever, and he is the worst character ever in the chatbox, remember to screenshot it.

Banned because Mangekyo is over powered.

First experience? Well there was all the launch hype but I didn't have a 360 to play it on and then my first gameplay experience was a year later, splitscreen at a friends on Zanzibar/Stonetown I can't remember the H3 name ;-; then I finally got Jalo 3 in January 2011 4 years late and just after I got my 360
I'm glad you eventually played and got the game.

Making Campaign missions only unlock through Gold packs would destroy everything
I would hate that
And turning Halo into just a card game like Hearthstone using the cards from the req packs. That would destroy the game.
-
That's stupid, because removing campaign would get rid of an EU.
If anything, it would be:
*Killing Atriox at beginning of Halo Wars 2
*Killing Cortana at the beginning of Halo 6
*Reviving Characters that should be dead
All that would be bad

What do you think 343i could do to pisd off almost everyone and completely ruin Halo. They have already made a lot of decisions that some people dislike, but what could be done to just completely ruin it?
I think if they took out campaign, and only had multiplayer.

You would have to go to halowaypoint.com, for we are not the official site of 343 industries. If your Xbox is banned, than there is probably nothing that can be done, but contacting Xbox and or 343i is the best thing

Banned because Kakashi is awesome in naruto

I think Halo 3 has the best soundtrack to me because it has the best songs from CE and 2, and has great ones as well

Quick Question
in Halo 5: Guardians
Posted
Because the servers mess up a lot, and Halo 5 is said to be buggy on the PC, but I wish more people did.
