I know everyone else is already talking about this but I am a big fan of this game and wanted to give my 2 cents.
I think fixing the system can and should be approached from multiple angles.
Lets start by taking a look at Halo Master Chief Collection. MCC has its own form of battlepass and progression that seems to have worked well for it and I think it would be well received if its elements were brought into infinite.
For starters rather than the daily xp by playing a match it would be nice to see experience granted based on performance. You should always receive xp upon completing a match but you can get more by playing the objective and defeating enemies.
Second is the weekly challenges. Some are straight forward while others are very specific which causes problems not only for the player but for their team as well. Because of challenges that require using specific weapons to get kills it discourages players from contributing to the objective. Instead a player with this challenge has to ignore the conflict to seek out a particular weapon rather than help their team. I believe redesigning challenges similar to ones seen in MCC could help. Here are a few ideas for more general challenges.
- Get kills with power weapons
*Destroy enemy operated vehicles
*Kill enemies using automatic weapons
Some of these suggestions are based off of MCC challenges. The key difference is that MCC asks you to use a class of weapon rather than a specific weapon. By being far less restricting a player is not pressured to camp a single weapon spawn all match.
Finally there is the in game store. I respect that Infinite Multiplayer is using a free to play design but making skins such a high price can be frustrating to fans who do not have a large budget. I imagine prices will not be lowered which is fine but I would like to see a way to earn credits from gameplay. It would not have to be a large amount but would allow dedicated players to earn items or at least purchase them at a lower price. I could see concern of players using this to buy the battle pass as that is one of the main sources of income in the game and to that I would suggest changing it so that the battle pass is purchased using real world money instead of credits.
I am a big fan of Halo Infinite and am very excited for the campaign. I hope these suggestions can be considered to help the game be even better. I welcome feedback and discussion in the replies. Thanks for reading
