As someone who absolutely loves the progression system of MCC, this Infinite one is just unmotivating and honestly downright depressing.
I’ve tried to get the fancy weekly rewards and no matter how hard I try I just can’t get them. The grind is just awful.
I beg you 343 if you are going to have these ridiculous daily challenges requiring me to use a certain gun, or do something I would never do to complete in these quests, at least give me a ranking system that I can try to accomplish…like in MCC.
Right now I’m going back to MCC because Infinite is not motivating me to play. Infinite is fun (when it is not lagging like crazy on PC…on PC…never had a game lag on PC…but I digress) but it is just not motivating.
Again, give me the military ranking system like MCC so I can at least strive for something. Reward me for my merits not because I got three kills with a rare gun nobody uses and is only on 2 maps. Seriously!
I agree that there needs to be a leveling system. If not for your reason, but for those of us that have already completed the battlepass.
On a side note, maybe try tweaking your sensitivity or watch some streamers play. I hate to be the “git gud” guy, but these challenges are not hard at all. Like the previous guy said, same day or next day complete. The ultimate this week is get 50 pvp kills. Too easy. 3 matches of FFA and you should easily have it done. You can do it!
I still play infinite here and there, but I am completely done with the challenges and trying to rank up.
There’s nothing for me to unlock unless I fork over 10 bucks and I will just never spend money on microtransactions on principal.
Then on top of that the challenges just force me to play the game in ways that I don’t want to, so why would I ever engage with the system?
I wish more people wouldn’t either because it’s a team game and to have your teammates literally just leaving matches because they didn’t get the gamemode they need for their challenge, or just outright ignoring the obj to pursue their challenge is annoying.
It is stressful for sure, especially for those who only have time to play a few hours a day maybe 3 days a week. And, when you get the “win a match” challenges for certain un-ranked gamemodes that require you to have teammates that can help carry, it could take an entire hour to complete.
The challenges are not simple to complete and let’s assume that most people aren’t mega nerds that play 50 hours a week and use challenge swaps like they’re addicted to crack. The amount of time needed to complete everything for a week is very unbalanced.
Look ahead at the upcoming challenges and game plan which challenges you can combo. For example “Get x spnkr kills” “Win 2 Fiesta matches”, and “Kill X number of enemy Spartans” can all be completed together. The trick is to work smarter not harder.
You can reasonably complete it in roughly 4 hours or so without using swaps. If you’re not good at shooters, it may take you longer, but it is still doable.
I finished every single weekly in one sitting on my day off work, and finished the Battle Pass, until they broke BTB so I couldn’t complete any BTB challenges since I couldn’t get into any matches. Last week’s Scoreboard backdrop and this week’s weapon sticker aren’t even worth completing the weekly, but I can almost finish the challenges by just casually playing. Idk how you haven’t finished a single weekly. The week with the sniper skin, I accidentally finished all the challenges besides the final ultimate challenge, without even paying attention to the challenges. I was just playing with friends not really caring, since I didn’t even want that skin.
They are noticeably less restrictive since they made the changes though. The first couple of weeks were extremely rough with winning specific game modes, I recall trying for probably days trying to get a ‘10 kills with disruptor’ one. the effing disruptor!! It’s a little easier now but if you can’t put in loads of hours working on the challenges it’s easy to miss out.
I do agree there should be another ranking/experience system alongside this, but if i recall correctly, they’re supposed to be working on one to complement/supplement the battle pass, right? I don’t recall if i’ve heard any updates on that front though
I know it doesn’t matter anymore, but for the disrupter kills, I found it quite simple to accomplish by playing ranked on recharge. One spawn on the wall between b/c capture points. Close quarters disrupter beats br rather easily.
The hardest one I’ve had lately is get a scoped sniper kill because Halo sniping is different than cod sniping and I cant lock it down. If I get the “save an teammates life from far away” I swap that right away.
yeah that one’s really difficult, i feel like the sensitivity when you’re scoped on the sniper varies so wildly from literally every other gun and unscoped? not having a lot of luck with it even tho in other games i was able to use it well
I’ve been able to squeeze them in each week under the wire working 6 10s with two kids. I get 3-4 games in at lunch and maybe a few after the kids go to bed. Haven’t paid for the BP, and have only used two swaps out of the 30ish I’ve been issued.
Tbh, the Willow Tea was the only one I cared to get. The rest have been kinda dumb. But hey, the xp reward advances the BP.
If you do the challenges sensibly, it takes no time at all.
I wish I could show you the challenges I got last week as it was the perfect example. I’ll try to explain a bit -
I guess you know if you press Y (or whatever it is on PC) when on the challenges screen, you can see your future challenges.
First I do that, literally take a couple of minutes working out a rough plan. Seeing which challenges can be completed together - there always are lots, especially since the change.
From memory as an example. I had 3 saying almost the same - I think two were earn 7500 accumulated points in PvP, another the same but quickplay so I did those together. Obviously there’s a few weapon ones and challenges that can be done with any other.
When I say I did those together - obviously I can’t choose the order - I have to concentrate on trying to get some complete so others bump up and get on the current challenges at roughly the same time.
If you take 2 minutes out at the start, it saves hours.
I’ve never paid for swaps. I only have 3 slots. I’ve not paid for the battlepass. I won’t pay a penny until they’ve fixed this game completely.
While that’s true - I do that lol. This week I remember I had complete 1 swat game, 2 total control games, 20 headshots, 10 assists. The east stuff of course except maybe total control since BTB is still a mess.
I think there’s another thing neither of us mentioned - if you have any friends you have to ignore them to do stuff. The opposite of what it should be. Game shouldn’t encourage you to isolate.
