So i have finally gotten around to playing reach on the MCC on my xbox one and i noticed 2 things.
- your custom emblem no longer shows on the armor
and
- playing through the story doesn’t get you the exp to unlock new armor, you are forced to do firefight and multiplayer.
the 2nd point is my main issue here as progress for the reach armor pieces now is slow and god awful, is there any way we can get exp from the reach story missions again or at least make it easier to obtain the reach armor? i don’t know about others but it takes me at least 8 matches per level now and will probably only get harder and all i get is 1 armor piece from a short list.
i must sound crazy to some people but my internet is not always stable (and no im not able to afford better internet) and firefight is boring as hell without others, you have to play it for 2 hours before getting a level. so please either make it so we can get more of those points when we level up to get armor quicker or give us more exp or even re introduce exp for story missions, anything to make it more bearable to get reach armor pieces
You can now directly earn season points by completing various challenges (Options&Career➡Challenge Hub), some of which can be done in campaigns (the PvE challenges). Doesn’t turn the grind into a smooth trip, and campaigns still don’t give XP on their own, but much better than working through online modes nonetheless, given your situation.
As for leveling up, my experience so far is that the first 30 levels or so become increasing hard to advance, but after that the XP gap required to level up suddenly “resets” and the next 30 levels repeats that cycle of gradually increasing the gap again. I’m still trying to get to lvl.60 so I don’t know yet if the pattern holds true later on.
And yeah the emblem thing absolutely sucks. People (myself included) reported the problem upon launch but Halo Support doesn’t even list it as a known issue. Looks like we’re gonna be stuck with that stupid smiley for a very long time.

still with the amount of cheating in online games (which most of the challenges are aimed at) it’s almost impossible to have a good game, i would love to get exp for story missions again because as it stands im very much considering just quitting halo multiplayer, nothing is done about the cheaters in question and they just keep coming back (obvious cheats like taking no damage without using a modifier and shooting through walls from the other side of the map being a few examples) and all i really want is my reach armor so i can look how i want to when progressing through the story a few times, nothing more and nothing less, the way getting the armor has been implemented into MCC is awful, I’m glad it’s still in pieces that you can piece together but i HATE that im forced to play the multiplayer or the boring firefight (boring when i have to solo it anyway since it’s THAT inactive) just to accomplish these challenges or get exp to rank up for one piece of armor which because no matches are good anymore is a real chore.
seriosuly just exp for story campaign is all im asking and im sure ALOT of people would appreciate it as well

There is no cheating in online games; it’s virtually if not completely impossible to do so. I have been playing since launch, and I’ve not once encountered a cheater. If you’re playing on console, it’s especially unlikely.

you’re very lucky then, i admit it’s not in EVERY match but in almost all matches i have been in it has, a few people i have reported for it have been banned because of it to show yes, there is in fact cheating in online games otherwise those people would not have been banned. plus any amount of researching shows that there are cheaters in online games, this also includes team killers as well as some of them try to get the other team to win.
