Battlepass System - A mistake?

Games Halo Infinite

The short of it?
Battlepass is a mistake and it’s going to bite 343i later when the trend dies off for the next bit thing.

The long version?

Halo following trends started back in Halo Reach with loadouts (which was a trend that CoD started up), but yet Halo hasn’t been able to break away from following the next big money making trend setter and because it’s always the last one to the party (with games like CoD releasing yearly and Fortnite changing up seasons almost monthly), Halo can’t keep up.

This is why the Battlepass needs to go for good and something more innovative and new should take it’s place. What exactly I can’t say, that’s where 343 needs to put it’s thinking minds together to make something new, but Battlepass just isn’t it.

Halo used to SET trends, now it seems to purely follow the curtails of other games that are and have been doing it for a while. 343, in the own words, said they wanted to take Halo back to it’s roots, but battlepass’s is the complete 180 of that. It’s a mistake and I think it’s gonna just hurt the game like lootboxs did in Halo 5 with their disgusting REC pack system. Which at the time was just another money making trend.

343 hasn’t learned at all from their mistakes it seems, and adding the Battlepass system in backs up this claim.

if the BP hasnt died by now, it wont for some time. At the end of the day, a BP is the exact same as a normal progression system. Their exp gain is different (infinites version) but at the end of the day, you play, you gain exp, you get a level, you get stuff. Only difference is you get more stuff if you buy it

If they make the battlepass free with GamePass, I’ll be happy

The game is f2p ofc they will charge for the battlepass and the progression seems fine tbh.

You people make me laugh. Other games charge you full price and then charge for a battle pass and it comes with a time limit so if you miss it you lose the items. Not the same with infinite it stays permanently. Best way to do a battle pass.

That being said there needs to be a normal progression system akin to the spartan ranks system in H5 or H3.

There shouldn’t be a paid battle pass, it’s that simple. Games like Doom Eternal apply it, and very well!
