4 matches in a row with zero incentive and nothing to gain so I switched off

Games Halo Infinite

I bought the battlepass and am level 100, so match XP is useless

I have a weekly challenge to complete an oddball match so went into quickplay

4 matches later (slayer, CTF, strongholds, CTF) I have literally gained nothing for my time.

I’m not a -Yoink!- so I didn’t quit out and played through the matches but I was getting more and more frustrated

343 really need to revisit player progression (some long term ranking system so XP is not wasted) and how the challenge system requires certain game modes but you can’t select them

The game is pushing players away right now

Edit: the obvious response to this is ‘play for fun’ but a lot of players, myself included, like to have goals to aim for etc. It’s not that hard to understand!

Everyone asked for more xp and now we have got it we are all maxing out the battle pass super early ha. But yeah I agree, I’m not bothered about a progression system but I understand it’s important to a large portion of the community.

Playing the 4 matches was ok because the multiplayer is in a good state but it was the fact that at the end of each match I literally gained nothing that was frustrating

Will try again tomorrow

Everyone asked for more exp then they barely gave any. Already passed caring on the ‘grind’ and the lack of content puts me off further due it be blocked by a 2nd paywall.

Shouldn’t have complained so much about BP being too slow.

When we said we wanted more XP for playing we meant we wanted an artificial rank like in MCC. 343i tries to get it but refuses to hit the mark

Artificial rank is a terrible idea. It ruins objective based games and team work.

“I bought the battlepass” that’s where you already messed up.

Isn’t playing the game supposed to be the reward for your time? When did we stop playing games for fun?

10

players moreso asked for per-match XP and performance-based XP, not necessarily faster progression. 343i just threw more XP at us to quell the flames.

I’m level 100 but since I just enjoy the game I’m still playing it.

Guess I’m old enough to not need a carrot on a stick to have fun.

In other games you get for example colored variants of previous items or in-game credits after lvl 100. I wish there was something like that…

13

I get on to play and that’s all I do. I’ve never even used a challenge swap despite having a bunch of them now. I’ve never specifically looked at any challenge to complete them either. None of them would probably interest me at all.

What I would look at if it existed…

STATIC commendations list…if this was somewhere in the game…a list of rewards you get during the long haul of your account life…unlocking good items this way, things that really show what you’ve done in the game…I’d probably check that out and be more conscious of completing them, being excited to getting close to completing them etc. I’m not talking about “get to arbitrary level of xp and gain x y or z”

I suppose you can’t make money off such a thing though right?..

I do enjoy the game, but seeing all the challenges pop up at the end and knowing all the XP is being wasted is frustrating.

I don’t know what the solution is though, maybe some ridiculously high value ranking system in the background like in reach/mcc/5 where you need a billion xp to complete or something

15

LOL. thanks goodness dude.

16

What they need to do is implement exp ranks back, and have the exp you earn through the current battlepass continue onto the next battlepass.

17

You did the right thing.

18

Sounds like you are a -Yoink!- tho…if you’re getting frustrated over something so small.

19

yeah dont get me wrong it is fun but every halo has had a progression system
halo 2 had 1-50
halo 3 had 1-50 plus xp wins with military ranks
reach had arena ranked commendations to complete and a shop with game currency you could earn in game for armor and halo ranks included
halo 4 had what reach had but a CSR system for leveling
halo 5 had the same as 4
how come infinite has none of these it keeps us playing the game to win and to play the objective

sorry making an edit reach and 4 and 5 had challenges as well as commendations

Halo Infinite definitely has a ranking system bro lol it might not but the best but it’s still there. Don’t be disingenuous.
