As far as content updates go 8.0 is really a lackluster. Siege was fine for the first 10 tries until I unlocked that helmet. Besides that it gives us 3 colors for each gun. We don't even get to choose the color out of the ones we have available for armor.
One of the main selling points is getting to make your own Space Marine, which implies a whole breadth of options and cosmetics.
What I don't understand is why not release more stuff regularly in form events (they did that before) or fill a cosmetics pack to the brim with different pieces and gear elements so that it can last month or two before they release another? How lazy one team can be?
