Multiplayer Microtransactions in Halo 5 – Tables Flipped in Halo Community
It’s fine. Now the dust has settled and everyone feels a bit embarrassed about kicking off because of 343’s Halo 5 announcement, lets go over the facts.
It appears that while you will be able to purchase REQ Packs instead of buying them by earning REQ points for real money, you will be only able to use equipment that provides a cosmetic change in the Arena.
You will be able to use your acquired REQ packs in Warzone but this will be limited and controlled by energy points designed to make sure that players don’t just simply unleash every mega weapon they have bought during the multiplayer session.
There are still a few things that need to be cleared up at the moment in terms of balancing the game for those who purchase and those who don’t. 343 insist that there are no items or weapons locked behind paywalls that cannot be acquired normally through the game.
Now pick that table up. How you are going to explain this mess, I just don’t know Spartan.

I've been writing on and off for Godisageek for almost two years now. Mostly you'll find me playing something Souls related but have a liking for Driving and Platform Games. I have a soft spot for AC Syndicate though. When I'm not playing something electronic, you'll find me playing boardgames instead which has required me to speak to people on a face to face basis and also review them for here too.
I'm still drawing people as various videogame characters and striving to finish the To Do List. It's getting there. Slowly..
