RUMOUR: Microsoft re-evaluating how loot boxes will be implemented in Halo 6 after EA BFII fiasco

I know it won't happen but I hope they just ditch that REQ pack shit completely. It didn't take long for me to notice that it took two or three hours of gameplay to get one gold pack, which would MAYBE give me one piece of an armor that I wanted, but most of the time it was just fucking trash.
It was a lot of fun working for achievements in Halo 3 for armor, and it wasn't too bad getting in-game cash to buy armor in Reach. I don't remember (or care) how it worked in 4, but the method of playing hours on end in Guardians to maybe get the set I want was a pretty big turn off, but I guess that's just the story of games these days in general...

I mean yeah but the game threw REQ packs at you as long as you played the game a decent amount. I never once bought REQ packs and I was able to be competitive in Warzone the few times I did play it (Don't really like Warzone for other reasons.)
As long as they I keep the same system I could care less tbh.

This is bunk. We're not reevaluating anything (significant) and "Microsoft" isn't designing anything for the next game - 343 is. We watched the EA battlefront thing with the curiosity you'd expect - but our current req system is player focused and well liked and unintrusive as far as these things go.
We have made zero announcements about our next projects and continue to work on our next game and technology with player's needs and interests in mind.
However the story as loosely presented as it is - has no bearing on or relation to any current efforts.
I suppose you could say "company x is evaluating feature you" and always have some grain of truth, but we are neither aping nor adapting an unrelated system from another game.
This follows an equally vague rumor about an issue with our engine, which in fact is counter to significant ongoing improvements and evolution of our tech.
If there were some nugget of truth to both, I'd just ignore it. Development is rife with normal examples of both of these "stories" but in this case there aren't even notable small examples that this could have been based on.
Certainly in the future we'll be evolving our systems and tech and maybe these general and vague statements will have brief applicability. But right now? Nah.
