I don't consider H5 Pay to Win at all, that's one of the many reasons why I love it, even though it takes a similar approach as the cancer known as Advanced Supply Drops and Rare Supply Drops (Cancer known as CoD). At least it doesn't encourage you to automatically waste hard-earned cash for a terrible luck rate. It actually encourages you to [u]play[/u] the game and earn req points to earn something good the right way. Weapon variants in Halo 5 are only usable in a specific mode (Warzone) for Matchmaking and you need to actually play and work towards earning the mandated req level to use a somewhat more superior weapon than its base, unlike Advanced Warfare or Black Ops 3 where you can just throw money at Activision and get the whole more upper Advantage and spam it 24/7, 365. Another reason why I love H5 is because it's constantly becoming updated with more content like maps at no additional cost. If Gears of War 4 takes H5's route, or even be more smarter and only allow cosmetic items in these packs, than it's an automatic thumbs up for me! I will admit that RNG, on the other hand, is a pain in the -blam!- [spoiler]Also, sorry that I made my post almost like some sort of essay. lol[/spoiler]
