There's hardly a halo to be seen in the SP

Don't see any issues with it assuming the math is correct, they are listed after all the single ones purchasable with REQ points.

You can't buy the big one or any of the 6 new gold pack bundles with req points. Only cash. I want more req pack options, but this isn't what I had in mind...

I really hope 343 picks up on it. It would be great to see it become official and a social alternative to regular Strongholds. 3 teams for social craziness. 2 for focused competitive.
Also are people noticing teams using social to farm k/d? is it is something we should be worried about

No price...
If you assume that 10% of the proceeds go into the HCS pool, then that's a $10 million gross or anywhere from 3 to 5 million REQ packs (this gets stickier mathwise with the bundles and REQ packs from other sources like the LE or the specialty HCS packs.)
If you go with 50% split, then that's still $2 million and up to 667,000 REQ packs.

A few pro players said that 50% is going to the HCS. Not sure if true or not.

Only a portion goes to paying the pros though, the rest to 343....
I dunno, but judging by the additional purchaseable packs, the HCS pack, and some other data we can't talk about, I'm inclined to think that Microsoft is going whole-hog on this method.
Say what you will about Reach, it had some damn gorgeous skyboxes.

One of the things that actually disappoints me most in multiplayer maps (as far as art goes) are the skyboxes.
A bunch of H5 maps are set on a Halo ring and yet you can hardly tell because the rings above just dull and faded

I just hope they start delivering more dev maps. I'd like to see all these funds build up the game's map count. Noctus is a great start though.

I'm 99% they're artificially forcing low ranks to stop Onyx for days complaints. I get that an unwanted majority of players were placing Onyx but... They've gone too far IMO.

Is Reach still coming to backwards compatibility?
Placed at 84 in Breakout but managed to win my way all the way to 7 with no team got matched up with a lot of good people. Went to bed and I'm a 27 now. Don't think I can hold it for too long I will soak in the glory for as long as I can lol.
Well they keep making a big deal about the Championship money and I don't want to contribute there.

Yeah, kind of crazy but hopefully the updates keep being this substantial.
Should be live now.

That is totally fine, was just saying it also supports 343 who supports the game. Also they are pushing the HCS because they want a piece of that fresh esports pie.

Released today I believe.
Ooh we will have to Breakout together! I tried solo queue yesterday and was getting quitters and AFKers so gave up placements.

Wouldn't it be 48 for 99.99? 34 plus the 14...?
Is it just me or does the 34 pack look like the Flood?
I preffer it like this so it doesn't break up the community.

The forge controls are messing with me. It's gonna take a while to get used to.
Also, thanks for all the light options 343!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The weekend that the HCS pack came out I played about 20 matches of Warzone without using a single Req (because I sold them all). I was still in the top 3 for prettymuch every single match.
Reqs really don't make that much difference.

x2... i was really hoping this update would come with some sort of fast/easy sell for reqs.
Just slide your finger over B then A in a quick motion. You can sell pretty quickly.
They do need a sell amount option.

You're bonkers. Plaza and Overgrowth are some of Halo's (the series) finest maps. They're both Lockout-tier to me.
Yeah while there are some gaps in my REQ collection for utility weapons (no Sentinel or Longshot BRs, no DMR, no Recon AR) I don't feel like I'm missing anything except cosmetics in Warzone. I basically keep one or two Warthogs and vehicles and the same for stuff like SRs, Whiplash and SAWs. Everything else just gets resold.
Supporting pros helps support the game and community though. It's not about paying for Ninja's mortgage, as it is keeping Halo as a premiere eSports and shooter in the gaming community.
If you have great paying tournaments, and championships, you're going to draw players to the game. Think about it, if you can make $50k a year playing Halo tournaments, and only $25k a year playing Call of Duty, which game will you get into more? Drawing more pros, means drawing more fans, more streamers as well. I'm just surprised they haven't had any HCS tournaments yet.

I don't like the direction of Halo being an esports game first. Bungie never cared for MLG (that much) and the games did fine. Halo 5 is balanced, but it's way too much about the eSports scene.
