Give everything for free…lol jk.
Seriously mistakes were made. I’m sure due to technical aspects some things might not be able to be changed due to programming etc. For the sake of arguing. In this post we’ll see armour cores are one of them. So we’ll leave that design in.
Also no matter how bad we want a change and no matter how bad 343 wants to give it to us. There is always Microsoft who are gonna pull strings and make sure we dont see them do it because from a business perspective. Thier brand image is more important than 343 who could just be blamed and moved to another project down the road. So any change outlined will follow a free to play model. I just offer a few outside the box suggestions
The fracture event gave me an idea and let me know the one I propose is feasible. Do away with the battle pass after season 1. Every game has a battlepass. Its played out and doesnt inspire or innovate like a halo game should.
I realize since this is a free to play you cant just give us everything. So if your going to sell us something then sell us an armor core for $5 or so. Give each armor core it’s own battlepass of say 40 to 60 levels full of unique unlockables. No matter how many cores a player processes, exp only counts toward the equipped core. Making giving us more control over how we want to level up our characters while still keeping some of that uniqueness to
Every map in the game launches with it’s own challenge suite. This will replace the weekly challenges. This isnt a one off. This should be deep with multiple levels. Challenges on the map suite are specific to game type. For instance kill challenges only get counted on slayer games to keep people from playing slayer in objectives. This kind of approach would better encourage players to play all gametypes. Reward should always be free on the map suite and the reward on this particular suite should be universal to all cores unlike the core pass I outlined above.
Over all progression should be based on performance. I get x for medals. I got 10 kills that’s 5 exp points each = 50 for example. We won the game another 50. 30 double kills are 5 apiece a killing spree is 10 and so on.
Some Gamers will still buy xp boosts. To level up faster. Especially if they are working on multiple cores. Just keep a steady supply of affordable cores. I think having two at the price of the current battlepass is fair
