There’s a lot to love about Infinite. Obviously, there are some miscues too. One thing that really stops me from playing much is the lack of any sort of real progression system. Has there been any update regarding that? Is battle pass the only form of progression planned? I get it, I should play because I love the game, but like many people, I’ve been conditioned from a lifetime of previous games to have my performance for every match count for something. Even a simple numbered “rank” system I can progress through based on my actual performance (which isn’t great) would keep me in the game so much longer. I’ve been done the battle pass for a while now and only end up jumping on when new events happen, I know if I had some other sort of basic progression system, I’d be in there all the time. It’s such a basic thing that ever other Halo had and I’m sure not having definitely affects the amount of players playing.
I felt like I had to post about this, I’m sure some will hate on it because I should “be playing the game because it’s fun”, but there are other fun games that still give me a little something to grind and play for. No matter how arbitrary those little ranks are, it feels good to know your performance (and not just challenges) is contributing to something.
