currently the only way to level it is through challenges or spending real money

Yeah, agreed. Overall I’m still having fun with the game but would like to see an overhaul to the xp system. I was willing to wait and see how they changed it up, but I’m just not a fan of challenge only xp system. I’d have no problem with it if there was at least something from your performance in the game each match.
it is planned but not gonna happen at launch most likely its a post launch thing
yeah its bad right now the whole leveling wish they changed it prior to today
Yup. Pretty weak, lost me after one match. I miss the days where I just bought the game and it came with everything I needed… was pretty disappointed to see ALL of the armor in the entire game locked behind a paywall.

Yeah tell me about it. I’m 3 victories in at not even near getting the first rank. No way in hell am I buying Battle Passes if I have to grind my life for it.

Going to be honest, I’d prefer the game to be paid for if nearly everything is locked behind the credits you can’t earn in any other way than paying for them.

It seems 343i is under the impression that since the battle pass never expires, it shouldn’t matter if it takes you several lifetimes to unlock that piece of armour at level 70 that you actually want.

Agreed. The auto-mod system on the forums is hiding literally everything to do with it, even honest responses to questions about the BP.
Remember when 343 said they were gonna respect the time you invested in the game? Currently it will take over 100 hours to max one battlepass. Maybe closer to 200. L M A O
Edit: I totally forgot about the part where you will have to be totally miserable doing challenges non stop instead of enjoying the game while you’re playing. :’)

The game has been out for literally 6 hours.
So? You don’t need several days/weeks of playtime to see that this current system is horrible for players.

Actually, I think we do.
What’s your point? Don’t tell me you’re going to shill for this awful progression system.

I played one game and it was clear that the progression system wasn’t for me, particularly with the battlepass/any armor customization ever costing more money.

Agreed. I would rather just have it work like it always has, and pay a lump sum for the game with all content included.

And in 6-straight hours I’ve only been able to get to rank 3, because the challenges actively inhibit progression. For example, I had to kill 5 enemies with the commando rifle for 200xp. The commando rifle is horribly weak at the minute, which doesnt help, but it also doesn’t spawn half the time, or is taken by a teammate. It is simply not reasonable to make the progression challenge only.
There isn’t even a case to be made for enhancing team-play. Because team-play is usually rewarded via game-performance, I.E. Capture, assist and carrier kill medals. If a challenge is to win a BTB game, but I’m not being rewarded for zone captures or defences, why would I bother? I’d just go round hunting for kills and not bothering with objectives. Why not have performance based xp, and supplement it with challenges? Thats the most reasonable way to go about it, and funnily enough, thats how the MCC does it.
6 hours is plenty of time to see that this is not a good system. You dont even need the game to be out to see it’s a terrible model.
Yup, I played 15 matches and I’m only Halfway to level 2, this is ridiculous, this progression is dumb

its get really frustrating i’ve played litearlly all day most part 6 - 7 hour’s and barely lvl 3 I do not understand why they though this would be a good system I feel like you need to pay to win just to get the skins alone :’(
be nice if they patched it this week
I need a XP rank with soldier to General 4 star or like the Reach Ranks.
I need my goals to play.
Don’t really care that much about unlocking cosmetics In a slow battle pas system.
