Man that would be incredible!!! And relatively simple I (armchair dev) imagine.

Unless you desperately want the HCS skins, not really. You'd be much better off having 16 silver packs which would unlock 32 permanent items.
The US address is to register the US Xbox account. Amazon would probably email the code to you wouldn't they? If you are unsure, don't risk it. What kind of saving is it getting you?

They send you the code by email. You just need to have an american adress to do the purchase.

343 fix your bad spawns. Me and 2 other players spawned in a fucking object and we couldn't kill ourselves. 5 fucking minutes twiddling our thumbs.

But i think it's not even certain that you receive weapon skins?

Not unless you want the HCS skins. I was saving up, but then realized I really want to increase my chances for the Mk. IV so I continued buying Silvers.

Hmm strange. Are you guys experiencing packet loss lag? Teleporting etc or latency? Grenade delays, getting shot around corners etc?
As long as you get the code, you are good to go. I haven't read anywhere that codes are region locked aside from currency/ms points.
So amazon.com just needs a US address I think for digital services. Otherwise there should be no issues on your end once you are sent the code.
you can get 5 rare or higher after you get the HCS tho

For 80,000 REQ points again, no? I usually get armor unlocks from Silver anyway, so I think I'll be alright.
Your first purchase gets you the HCS armour, helmet (which I think look terribad) as well as the three weapon skins which are decent. You can then rebuy the pack, which then gets you 5 random customisation REQs at rare or higher rarity.

But that's around 65 games of BTB

I need to check the skins.. So everyone gets the same on the first pack?
Yup first pack is a guaranteed specific set of 5. Everything after is random.

But if you think about it, wouldn't 8 gold packs or even 16 silver packs serve you better in the long run? I mean yeah 5 guaranteed rare skins/armor is solid, but I don't know.
I wonder if anyone has found a way to cheese REQ points yet. To get one HCS pack, I have to play more Warzone in 3 days, than I've played all launch month. Just not doable for me.

I hope it's a good one. I would love to learn more about ranks reset and the new Season.
Yeah I dont see why they can't make the bases look like the maps their on. A huge amount of the fighting is done in those garage's and bases. Bet thats half the reason people are crying out for more Warzone maps, because most of the time your fighting in a room/building which is in most maps, making it seem way more repetitive.
Beginning to think it ain't coming.
Is that the garage? The first 3 WZ maps at least had unique central locations.
With all the reused assets, I can't help but wonder why their are so few maps in this game.
Same :/
Maybe tashi was just misinformed. Who knows. They usually come much earlier in the day than this tho

Classic 343i game.
Halo 3 had some really bad spawns aswell.
You've beaten my top by a mile.
Damn son I remember seeing that on the front page.
While we are all waiting folks, I recommend you try the free game that just got put on Steam from the Stanley Parable dev. Pretty random but interesting little 15 minute game.. Then maybe the community update will be out.. right?
Is that the one you buy and give you 2 packs once a week for like 14 weeks?
What's killing me is that there's no correction. There's no "hey guys community update has been delayed".. Just radio silence.
It's maddening... I feel like I'm forming a love hate relationship with 343i over this game
It's just a CU, damn, lol.

Halo 5: Guardians(TM) is re-using Expansive Free In-Game Asssets(R)? In a mode whose core tenets of Visceral Hyper-Spartan Gameplay(CR) revolves around various structures requiring capture, all of which were evaluated prior to launch so as to be distributed across multiple maps whilst retaining Optimal Combat Flow(ASPCA), and by extension of which is being done as a means of propagating distribution of Free New Content(SNM), all of which has been carefully orchestrated as a means of Providing a Solid Core Base Game at Launch While Still Allowing For Fresh Content Updates In The Future(MTV)? Shocking!
No that's the Warzone Req Bundle which is only available for cash. I think it's $25 and gives 2 packs every week for 7 weeks.
How do you get access to that HCS pack? I only see gold, silver and bronze.
I mean it's not that serious lol I'll get over it if it doesn't drop... And perhaps it's still coming. Wouldn't surprise me if people worked late over at 343... We'll see.
Are you looking on waypoint or in-game?. It shows up in the end game store to the left of the gold packs for me. I've no idea if it's available through waypoint though.
No it's not just the CU, it's everything. I love so much about the game, but I hate so much about how they are handling it, particularly their communication.
Trup1aya said:
My prediction about how they would handle the December content reveal is ringing too true. We have no dates and tons of questions about what we're getting. They were more concrete than expected regarding when we would get more info (today), but have seemingly missed that target... They suck at deciminating information, period.
I mean we have no clue if they are even interested in bringing back classic gametypes that are missing... The game has been out for over month and doesn't have oddball... Will it ever? Who knows. It's insane.
They've been annoying misleading or silent regarding just about every current critism of the game.
Hopefully they tell all in the next few hours and make me look like a lunatic, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Holy shit snacks. That's impressive as hell.. And that's just one (admitted super popular) GIF.

May want to reset your game. It should be there with the rest.
Yep. They handle that shit on the daily x20 I bet.
edit: hahaha, a stat from 3 years ago said they handled 4.10 PB of data per month, or 4,100 TB.
edit2: looks like they actually offload everything to the AWS cloud rather than managing it themselves.
Got it, im at 50k req points..... Lets see where the night take us.
Serious question. What other games are you playing where the devs are communicating more than 343 does?
IMO between the CUs, streams, reddit posts, Twitter updates, and even Tashi's and stinkles posts here Imo they do a damn good job keeping the community up to date. Their info shits all over Deej's and the info bungie provides us Destiny fans for example.
Go read a Deej blog post and just roll your eyes while he dances around Faqs by just saying "we're working on stuff. Keep talking" and makes snarky jokes for no reason. Bravos updates are a breathe of fresh air to me because at least I feel like I get worthwhile info out of them.

Damn Mark IV looks awesome, I can't wait to never pull it in a REQ pack. I hope they add challenges or direct purchases with REQ points later, all of this new stuff is kind of pointless if you don't pay for REQ packs.
