i agree with most but wouldn’t that still be around 500 wins to complete the pass? i played 48 games in 11 hours even if i won half i would of only gotten to rank 14 in the pass since i completed all my challenges. IMO after 11 hours i think that wouldn’t give enough XP to keep people engaged.
This is great feedback, I also really like the suggestions OP has provided as they seem like workable solutions.

Its intentional. Make the grind unbearable so you buy teirs or boost.

Thanks for not making a toxic rage post. Thoughtful criticisms are always easier to consider than impulsive ones. I agree with most of this.

Lol this is only the beginning. It’s going to get much worse very quick. Just expect a spike in players around the holidays and then a total plummet. Did anyone here actually think this game was going to be good? How many times has 343 fooled you?

People are going to dip once they realize the meta of the game outside of ranked settings is spraying an AR at everything. It’s not fun or skillful to do but that’s what we’re stuck with right now.

This is a long stretch -
Halo infinite - (Hero’s of Reach) Season One
Halo Reach only had one ranked playlist when that came out - (Team Arena)
Can’t wait for (Hero’s of CE) - customs only!
Also This isn’t really a progression system because it will finish when the season finishes.
So somewhere in this whole big data driven machine an actual progression system for the game will be being tracked. However maybe they’re not showing it due to the Campaign not being released yet and we are all playing the Beta still.
Who knows - right it’s pre release and people should be patient and give feed back on things like collision/better battle passes and challenges/etc etc
And not feel their world is imploding.
For me this game is a month away from being dead.
10 years is a laugh at this point.
They can’t even get aiming worked out 3 weeks before launch, it is completely broken.
Vehicles feel like cardboard, they have horrible physics.
Guns feel like plastic, they are mostly redundant.
I am sorry for the rant, but I am here commenting about this game instead of playing it, that explains how I feel about it at this moment.

I agree with these points. We need a happy medium. Unfortunately, if they do give us more EXP, people will grind to level 100 in a day or two and we’ll be complaining that there’s nothing to do. With the Battle Pass never expiring it puts the game in a unique situation imo

Exactly - the forums complained when there was a daily cap on EXP - I assume this low level EXP gain is just another form of cap. After all the Season is 6 months. It makes sense to me. Plus it’s only linked to the season so I don’t think it’s the main progression system in the game.

There isn’t a main progression system yet. Things like Halo 5’s SR level or the military ranks of 3, Reach, and MCC don’t have an equal in Infinite. All we’ve gotten is the usual “we’ll think about it a do something down the road after launch” BS they have been spewing at everything.

I think the problem is nobody actually knows the truth!! This game has had turmoil in the development stages - plagued with external and internal controversies.
When was the release date/why so many delays/what’s the actual plan/is there a plan?
Is it being built on a wing and a prayer?
I for one have played Halo on and off for 20 years - depending on schedule. So I’m not really in a rush or a need to want it now.
Base game is pretty cool - spent last night scrimming in customs with 8/9 of us. We had a lot of fun and that’s what it’s all about.
Totally agree with everything.
lol you really are on a crusade for BR starts aren’t you?
I also agree with all these points. Although for the camera when dead, I would love to be able to just move the camera to view 360 degrees. That is so annoying to be locked onto the person who just killed you and not be able to check your surroundings for call outs to teammates.

Nearly everything mentioned here was already given to 343 during the closed testing. Tbh the build we have now is almost identical to the one we were using then so I’m hoping that come launch day we will see a different version. If not I won’t be playing multiplayer for long.
Having played every version of Halo FPS at launch this is at present the most underwhelming.

I really hope so. The overwhelming feedback for change will hopefully being it soon. 343i has a chance now to win over the player base forever by making changes for the better.
All eyes are on Halo right now so they need to nail this launch and changing things will be doing just that, doing nothing will really hurt the reputation of 343i, Infinite and the multiplayer overall.
I remember the days when you just played the game… Halo 2 and 3 never had this “battle pass” and the game was amazing… guys, it’s okay 343 will fix it but unlocking items shouldn’t be the “ALL BE ALL” main reason you are playing Halo.

People are upset because they were promised the ability to make their own Spartan and currently that’s night impossible with what we’ve been given, the battlepass is dumb I agree but it’s the only way to have cool cosmetics and to make your own personal Spartan, you may not care for that sort of thing but many do.

Trust me I understand this because I’ve been playing video games for decades but gaming is different now to what it once was, I recall the days when an expansion pack with new campaigns was the only add-on you’d expect from a game and now you’re lucky to get a decent cosmetic for the same price.
That being said, the multiplayer in gaming today is built on core features that the game relies on, the battle pass system is one such core feature & if it’s not satisfying then the game suffers when you don’t feel invested into the experience causing an issue in long-term retention.
