We as players need to be rewarded for match performance. They’ve got so much right and after all it’s still in Beta, but we like shooting and getting points, but what’s the point if they don’t even contribute towards anything.

Yes it’s way too slow. Needs a rethink and implement fast.
Definitely agree. I played 1 match and completed a challenge only to see that it barely put a dent into the season pass. Now, I don’t really agree with having challenges be the only way to gain exp either, but at least during the flight, completing 1 or 2 challenges levels you up, and they were relatively easy to do.
But yeah, the matches should give you exp based on your performance. I like that the public bot matches count toward the daily challenges, which have pretty much just been “Play (x amount) match(es)”. So I’d personally be fine just doing that to grind. But the effort I would put into grinding for 1 level is usually the effort I’d put into to grinding 5 to 10 levels. And I really hope the amount of exp needed doesn’t increase every time or else the battle pass is never gonna get done.
The weekly challenges are busted, they don’t register as being finished despite the fact that I completed the task.
At least in Destiny, bounties are optional, and all XP earned contributes to the battlepass. The challenges rapidly speed up your progression.
In Infinite? Good luck getting anywhere. I thought I was unlucky having played for three hours and getting to rank 3. Seems like I’m in the top 1% of players. I like playing Infinite, but I’m getting way more toxic knowing this Oddball game I got randomly dropped into will do nothing for my progression and customization because I can’t gun someone down with a Ghost, “flatten someone with a Repulsor” (whatever that means), or win a CTF or Stronghold match.
There’s so many basic features missing at launch it boggles my mind, but the core of the game is still fun.

Ill say it right now. I don’t buy the battle pass if the challenges makes the game unfun and forces to me to play things I don’t like in ways I don’t like. I was hyped because I love Halo Reach across the board so I was hyped for the Battle Pass. I almost bought it, but I think ill just never buy this stuff. Challenges are total pain, unfun, annoying. I won’t commit doing unfun challenges and playing in a way I dont like just to unlock some cosmetics. Fix this and give 100 to 200 Exp per match passively and give better challenges or people won’t even bother playing your game. Most people I know plainly dont play the game because of the challenge system. This is litteraly the worse system I have ever seen. But you know this because otherwise there wouldn’t be that much Challenges skips in the Battle Pass., I am disappointed. I would have been willing to pay the Battle Pass or Full Price for the game because it is fun, but the progression system just penalizes me because I want to unlock things I do like. I am pretty sure you guys can make a lot of money without making horrendous challenges. I was willing to pay so do other people but we won’t commit to a CHORE, it is supposed to be fun, and now you guys make it a second job. Progression systems core to a good game and its longetivity, this game might lose a ton of players because of it, if its not already the case. Reconsider the way you go because right now its the elephant in the room when someone talks about Infinite, the positives gets pushed aside because well the Battle Pass is terrible and ends up turning off people. Why would I pay to suffer through the Battle Pass system? Might as well just not buy it and actually play the way I like and do my things, you guys losing money, nobody wants to commit to such torture.

I agree please fix this i consider myself a good player averaging 2.0 kd or more per game and while using 5 double xp boosters it still took me 5 hours to get 5 tiers meaning without double xp it would take me close to 200 hours to complete the pass and that is absurd.

I really hope we can win at least 10xp per medal.
I’ve been playing Halo 5 since it’s launch and I’m still only level 149.
Unfortunately, I don’t expect anything different with Infinite.

They should change it, they are doing things diff than 5 i guess.
Agreed on all fronts with this
I am enjoying this game quite a bit. But I won’t be paying a penny for this battle pass system! The main XP should be game played with a boost on winning games and more boost on winning streak. Not by being forced to do stuff that is not related to the gameplay and game mode.

What’s funny is that I just signed on in order to complain about this very thing. Way too slow. So slow, that I do not want to buy the season pass. What’s the point if I’m not even going to come close to finishing it?
This game is incredibly greedy. Let me tell you why. The perfect example of a fantastic experience system that doesn’t work against its players is Sea of Thieves. You literally just earn credit for playing the game. For sailing, for doing things you would normally do during the course of a gameplay session. You will, by simply playing the game, get all the way to level 100. THAT is how a BattlePass system should be done. Your players are already paying you for premium access. Let them just enjoy the game and reap the benefits for the pass you created for them. The players that still want 100 day 1 will still buy all the extra stuff, but at least the average player doesn’t have to sink hundreds or thousands of hours into a game, focusing on doing very specific behavior, just to earn xp towards something they ALREADY paid for. AND on top of it, they can just play and have fun. It isn’t always fun to have to do ultra-specific objectives. It’s even worse when you feel like you HAVE to do those things.

MCC was fine. I feel like a copy of that should be used. I like the idea of challenges but progression just on challenges is dumb. It seems like it’s part of the money-making machine. Got nothing but challenges that you won’t complete? Want to keep progression? Give me more money for a challenge swap.

I do have to wonder just how much of this was a decision on the Microsoft level. I’ve already noticed a small drop in the prices for Credits, but it’s still not enough to really make the system as a whole appealing.

Progression is horrificly slow, challenges offer nearly no xp and you get no xp for finishing matches. I have about 14hrs ingame and im only lvl 5.
On top of that, if you want to purchase the battlepass it would cost roughly $200USD
That’s outrageous.
[Side note: limiting shaders armors to specific cores is SUPER lame]
Like what was wrong with MCC progression and challenge system?? I get it, they still want to make money, fine use the MCC progression system with paid battle pass and a paid store. But don’t take away from players who don’t want to pay. The current progression is just so dang slow and unrewarding. There’s no way I’m going to pay money just to play a lot and get squat for it. I would pay if I felt like I was being rewarded often.
