So let me lead with positive vibes, I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve played and think 343 has hit the mark. I personally have a few nitpick, but overall very solid through my 3 testing flights. That said…
Battle Pass doesn’t bother me at all. I actually like the progression through it keeping MP fresh. I do however have an issue with being able to use real money credits to straight up purchase the next level…
Buying double XP or challenge swap with real money can be dabated, but the game is Free to Play so I can give a pass there. They have to make money. What are you guys thoughts on straight-up purchasing next levels though?
I feel it takes away from the sense of achievement from those who progress by playing. You hop into a match and another player also has some bad-A armor or skin you worked hard for… and they may have just paid 10 bucks. Makes it mean less overall to everyone.
IIRC there will be challenge exclusive rewards (like Platinum in Flight & MCC), but that doesn’t detract from main point above.
Your thoughts? Potential solutions?
