I've bought all different kinds of packs, but have stuck with silver packs as I read that they give you a better chance at pulling cosmetic items, i might also add ive had pretty average bordering on sub par pullings from majority of my REQ packs. Is this a common thing?

What level are you? 68 hours doesn't mean much without context.
79 here no dmr still, my friend level 19 has 3.
it took me to level 84 to get a DMR and then i got like 4 in a row
I didn't get mine until 84 as well. It's frustrating.
Are you buying gold packs? If so but silver.
Nope, 343i is with the RNG system.
Whoever downvoted you is an idiot.
I primarily play arena (which means I don't give a rats ass about Warzone reqs) and I've had so many times where I don't unlock armor with a gold req pack. I'll get a cert and maybe an emblem if I'm lucky (why emblems have to be unlocked I'll never know.)
Exactly.
To answer the emblem situation; it's because of REQ inflation to increase RP earn-time, and encourage buying REQ packs to skip.
Except you have a chance of unlocking an emblem as a third permanent unlock in any silver or gold pack, they don't unlock in the first two slots anymore. Tinfoil hats off, please.

I've played since release, I play a couple hours each month, I have no ultra rare or legendary armour/helmet/visors. Except some master chief ones I think came from my pre order, and a helmet my company unlocked.
Yeah, fuck RNG armour unlocks.
A couple hours each month isn't that much though. If you play so infrequently, what do cosmetics matter?
Whatsittoya that they matter to me? I'd say nearly 3 days of playtime is plenty enough to have some notable items. Instead I'm stuck STILL buying bronze packs because my commons STILL aren't finished. I like looking fucking suave when I'm playing halo. Hell yeah I was proud of my Recon armour on Halo 3 (until 343 gave it away to everyone? ???) I would play more, but I have nothing to go for. It's not like "Complete the campaign on legendary" nets me a sweet helmet that let's everyone know how badass I am. No, instead I see some stupid helmet and I think "WOW, that's one of over 220 helmets ingame, that he received from an RNG loot box, it holds no value other than luck"

Have you made your daily sacrifices to RNGeezus?
just buy silver packs for weeks. The req system is so shit and it sucks when you want something. bravo, 343.
Well... odds are you would've gotten a visor by now, but you're not doing anything wrong. Bronze packs give a chance at 1 common, Silver 2 commons to rares, and Gold give 2 of anything.
Gold does not give commons
