Microtransactions (But Not Pay to Win)
Much like REQ packs in Halo 5, Halo Wars 2 will have card packs that can be purchased with real money. Packs can typically be earned by completing missions and challenges but given how Blitz works, there is concern of it devolving into a “pay to win” scenario. 343 studio head Dan Ayoub recognizes these concerns and says the team is “expressly tuning to prevent those types of scenarios.” We’re waiting to see how that works out in the final game though.
