You are right on that one. I loved the Reach ranking system working towards Inheriotor at 20 million exp? I loved that grind.

Yeah have to agree and the rewards once you do progress are not worth the grind. Fun but if doesn’t change will be leaving very soon

i disagree put on a double xp booster from previous tiers at the start of the week you get like 7 levels in an hour
50 experience points (XP) per match is 20 matches per tier; so call it approximately 2000 matches to get to the final tier. This isn’t counting the weekly challenges that, whilst limited, still give a generous amount of XP. That’s a lot of matches, especially as you don’t get XP based on the medals you earn or the score you get in each match.
Not to put a “pay-2-earn” spin on things but the value proposition for Big Team Battle is considerably lacking because of that. I can play Call of Duty: Vanguard’s zombies and gain levels that seem to be based on the time and contribution I make. Halo: Infinite seems to value my time considerably less. I bought the battle pass, and will be able to afford the next one due to the monetisation of credits, but even then I’m not sure if I want to make that sort of time investment getting all of the stuff.
I think the 50 credits per game is fine, but I would definitely like to see bonuses for being the most valued player (MVP), getting the most medals, the most captures, the longest amount of time defending, that sort of thing. It’s not perfect, but it would really help things along. Because of the way Infinite awards XP, its Double XP bonuses simply don’t work the way they should, and make playing Team Slayer and other such uncomplicated modes all the more rewarding.
I’m sure this thread has gone every which way with over 600 posts.
But at this point. For me It’s not that it’s slow anymore but more so that it isn’t rewarding at all. It feels like a participation trophy more than anything else. Like a pat on the head for “aww you’re so stupid for willing to grind the BP, here have a handful of things for free that the whales already paid for.”

Seeing people post without experiencing it yourself is a big mistake. I wasn’t there at the beginning started playing around end of January, all i can say it took me time to get use to it but in two weeks got to level 63. You can use your double XP boost to level up quickly, you can also use the 250xp instant boost. Halo Infinite its not that slow compare to Halo Reach which take month and month to get to the highest level Inheritor if you play the game everyday . I am happy so far

I disagree i grouped challenges together like id do one that was by itself like play 3 team slayer matches that got replaced by like earn so many assists ok then i see i have win fiesta games and get kills in fiesta game type and if i finish play 3 tactical matches my next challenge was another fiesta challenge so id finish tactical games and then all 4 of my challenges were for fiesta challenges dont take long to finish all the weekly challenges me playing like 2-3 hours a day i finish all 20 challenges in 3 days most of the time or id play all day somedays from 12 until like 8 pm and finish all weekly challenges in a day and challenges give me so much xp that completing all challenges for the week each week i shouldve counted how many weeks but i got all the way to lvl 100 waay before we were under 120 days left of the season i havnt been able to lvl and challenges and events and stuff all the xp is for nothing now im dying for season 2 i hope and i know my message is too long and is one message burried in like 100s of other people commenting but i really hope they make the battle pass longer like 300 lvls or 500 or 343 lvls a season so i dont finish all 100 lvls and have nothing to work towards for 4 momths sucks. Now i do agree when challenges are all done omg it does take waaay too long to lvl i either stopped playing for the week and waited until next weeks challenges or id only play a few matches for fun or with friends. But yeah i guess they should do something you lvl fast with challenges but without challenges you gain like no xp maybe i should comment again with just that so 343 or someone will read fast and maybe listen no one is probably reading this comment still if you are thanks

Yeah challenges u get a lot of xp and finish battle pass waay too early you hit 100 and now have 4 months left iv just been waiting for new battle pass to have something to work towards. Or yes when challenges for the week are done you dont get any xp at all it takes forever to gain 1 lvl something does need to get fixed. And i hope 343 makes next battle pass longer like 343 lvls or 500 something maybe even 1000 but that is a lot of stuff to unlock unless you only get an unlock item every 5 lvls or something? I dont know but make longer so you got something to work towards and while doing weeklys the xp your earning is still going to something instead my xp is going down the toilet towards nothing for 4 months cuz i hit 100 with 120 days left of event sucks and i only play so much a day or week even i cant imagine people who play all day everyday they got to be really bord. And here we go again i try and comment less so easier read but i write with everything i mean to express it and it goes to long
i don’t know what you guys are talking about but it was cool for me when i bought the battel pass i used my double XP boost i leveled up quickly especially when you complete your challenges. compare to halo reach its way faster i started playing in end JAN and mid FEB i was done already

Just an FYI, the rate at earning xp was roughly tripled in December (varies a bit based on length of play sessions). So you experienced the system as a result of threads like this.

Just play more? lmao
The items to swap challenges need to be free. I’m stuck behind a play a certain type of match that is in a variety playlist and it isn’t coming up. There shouldn’t be a specific game mode like Strongholds or Oddball, it needs to be Slayer, Big Team Battle, etc.

Right. I’ve got a Challenge to kill a single enemy Spartan while holding the Oddball, but in ~25 matches, Oddball hasn’t come up once. I don’t have enough time in the week as a student to play for hours and hours. Sucks even more than usual, as this week they’re actually giving away armour.
Progression feels terrible. Completing a game is a “Challenge” haha.
We need to be rewarded with XP based on how we did in a game, with more XP being earned for PTFO.
Challenges can stay, but make them daily/weekly.
It’s still way too slow. I love the game, but I feel so dissuaded to play because of how long it takes to level up. I feel like there should be xp for completing a match, doing challenges, and how you PERFRORM in game!!
I’ve gotten a level in a single match but the thing is they know they need to change it. They said as much and it will probably come with season 3.
We can’t get everything at once… Let them make this game the best damn halo mp ever. You can bet your last penny that Spencer gave them more budget to hire more people.
We will have the ultimate halo mp experience and if they add onto campaign like I expect they will we will probably have the largest and best halo game ever made
It’s already the best feeling Halo so it’s core framework is solid. Now they need to keep building the skyscraper. Eventually people will complain content is coming too fast and they can’t finish a BP before the season ends.
I just started playing a couple days ago, but I feel like a simple solution to exp grinding could be solved with exp for medals in a match. Such as 5 exp for easier medals like a double kill, up to 100 exp if you can get harder medals like Demon. Just a thought.
