I hope to see a ranking system in multiplayer besides a battle pass ( as I’ve never wasted my money on a single battle pass in any of the games I play ). I want a level progression, even if it’s as simple as the one in Apex legends. We are already being screwed by having challenge only XP ( in my opinion has got to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of, and the flight we just had confirmed that for me ). Why should be teammate that went 3 and 15 get the same XP as another player that carried the team with 15+ plus kills. If the there is no LEVELING SYSTEM and or ALTERNATE ways to gain XP through the match other than challenges, I don’t know how they expect this to be a long term game that keeps people playing it every day. I LOVE HALO BUT THIS DOESNT SEEM RIGHT TO ME
I’m fine with the challenges and I think they did them very well overall but there is no reward for doing well in a match. If you are the top of the leader board you should get 100xp or something along those lines. Also there is no ranking system, I would be completely fine with a copy and paste of reach but at least have something there. It adds to the experience and its nice to see how much time you’ve put in manifest itself as a rank. I don’t know what 343s design philosophy is with this but I really don’t see a reason not to add a ranking system like Reach. 343 Is doing a great job and I kind of see where there coming from with this I just disagree completely.
343i already addressed this and there’s about 6 other threads requesting a levelling system, probably some need another…
343i are looking into ways to bring in a traditional levelling system but nothing like that will be coming at launch. I wouldn’t expect it soon after launch either, it’s going to be a while.
Honestly the number next to your name that displays your level is so arbitrary. It doesn’t really represent anything over than now long you’ve played the game,
Even then that’s not a good measure of someone’s skill, I know 151’s in Halo 5 who can’t get 10 kills in a firefight game let alone try to win a multiplayer match. Player “XP level” doesn’t really mean much.
I’d much rather play for fun than play to grind so that my level number is higher than someone else’s.
Challenges will be giving you XP per match once you’ve completed the daily set anyway, challenges like “complete 1 match” will loop for a good amount of time before you run out of challenges. It’s not like you’re missing out on progression from playing.

Yes and we need that to see how much people played. If a see a high level or max level player i give him my respect for dedication. If you want to see someone true skill you’ll have to open it’s profile to see the skill rank.
343i should implement those 3 progressions system to have a full fledged experience :
- Battlepass progression through challenge only (maybe not the best and may need per match xp) - Spartan level (I prefer military ranks, per match xp plus challenges) - Skill rank (In the playtest there was a mention of bronze,silver,gold… rank)
How about :
Matchmade scoring with medals will become your XP at the end of the match.
End of match xp will be awarded as :
Medals : XP bonus
Match complete bonus : moderate xp
Left the game : no xp of any sort
You perform very well consistently, bam you finish your BP faster.
For the others to keep up with these top performers, introduce a Community voted Custom game mode for the week, or a playlist/mode for the week, and by completing a game in that mode will reward 2x more match complete XP once per day
Keeps every week fresh, rewards better performance. People also have fun playing fun customs and everyone wins.
in short the system is garbage and needs to change. It isn’t rewarding completing a game that doesn’t reward you. If people cant do there challenge they should just leave cause there is no point in staying. Whenever this is the case the system is bad. I tried to make this simple but seriously what are they thinking.

Chasing challenges to gain XP to level up is a horrible idea, why do I have to play the game how they want me to play it. Why do I need to get kills with specific guns or play certain modes just to level up. ( and not even level up in rank lol level up a battle pass that you pay for each season for 100 level that gets reset, battle passes are a joke and the biggest scam of money ) There were a few instances in the flight that I was so focused on completing these challenges that I wasn’t even playing to win or being a real team player I just wanted to get the challenge over with to see some sort of reward of playing. I played years of halo 3 social multiplayer without leveling up that was a fantastic game but I don’t think I could do that again, at least not for that amount of time.
also, if leveling system comes out a few seasons from launch, what all that time I’ve already invested I get rewarded at level 1… makes a lot of sense

Medal XP bonus
match completed bonus
leave the game = no match completed bonus
… hmmm sound like every other multiplayer FPS game on the market lol. Why would they ruin this amazing game with this battle pass only crap!
BTW say you grind through the battle pass and get it finished weeks before the next season starts, what happens then do we even still have challenges to complete lol and if we do why waste your time at all if the XP goes to nothing

You don’t need to do anything…

You’re right I don’t have to but I will because it will be the only system rewarding me for my time playing. It’s unfortunate this is what the game will be like but that won’t stop me from playing it’ll just be a little less enjoyable in my opinion

Do you find the ever lengthening exp bar rewarding?

I enjoy being rewarded with XP for my performance during a match. Whether that’s at level 5 or level 127
Challenge XP should be the secondary way of leveling up your profile not the only way.

You practically get the same exp after every game due to the variations being so negligible, especially due to the exp cap. The best performers won’t get any additional exp for playing really well.
Just makes the whole thing seem a bit pointless. Especially when it rewards Grifball griefers more than anyone else due to the way it tracks “performance”. Glad to see the back of that terrible system.

Then go play another game if filling XP bars is the entire point of your life.
Play Warframe, they let you relevel your weapon over a thousand times.
So than what’s to stop the old school Halo players form destroying the new players in all there played games If this is the new ranking system?
“Halo Infinite and MCC socials have become too sweaty, I just want a place I can go to relax and have fun.”
“I want a system that rewards me for how well I do so I’m constantly aiming to play my best.”
These two things cannot coexist perfectly. The current system isn’t perfect, but I don’t understand why people are so desperate to encourage people to team up and just dominate social playlists to grind XP like clans did with warzone for Achilles back then. You functionally get per match XP with the daily challenges.
We’ve seen so many threads about this now, I’m getting bored or it. 343 have said they’ve heard community feedback, they’re looking at it, anything they decide to do won’t be ready for launch. Nothing anyone on the forums does or says will change that, they don’t have the scope to implement features now.
