I’m sure I’m not the only one who noticed in the tech preview that actual rank/level were absent. Instead we just leveled up thru the battle pass (which isn’t bad, but only challenges gave XP making it kind of difficult to climb)
anyone else hope that rank and xp make a return? It would be a shame if the only leveling up was thru the battle pass and nothing else
Pretty sure that those things will be in the game. I mean they have to be since they have double xp. They just weren’t in the flight since it was bot matches where the only way to level the battle pass was with challenges.
i have high hopes cause the leveling in the tech preview was kinda infuriating to me but the more i realize that it was just a tech preview with bots, the more i think we’ll get ranks. i do love seeing my rank go up on mcc
Im guessing it will be there, im just hoping it’s got the ranks like the older halos ive always thought the SR ranks were really boring nothing interesting about being level 152 but an inheritor or 5 star general is so much better
I bet we will have this but it was excluded for the flight. I would also like to see more Reach like ranks as opposed to Halo 4 and 5

Wouldn’t be surprised if the leveling in the flight is about how it will work in custom games and not matches while all the xp would come from matchmaking. Would make sense to prevent people from finding ways to exploit and cheat the system to blow through battle passes super fast

So the double XP wasn’t for battle pass XP?

Reach ranks or Halo 3 ranking is definitely some of my favorites. SR ranks could go and I would be fine. Even MCC ranking is good enough for me

double xp were used to level the pass, they are after all only found in the “battle pass consumables” menu
Halo2
Halo3
Ranks
Please!

i’d be fine with it working like that if you’re in custom games

Said it perfectly. Just need to be patient and it’ll come maybe in future flights. No question though, there will be some new and exciting things though with the game.

This would make a lot of sense. But again I think we are just overthinking too much. They wanted to test battlepass leveling and consumables. I bet we see the next flight show more functionalities to be tested along these lines.

That’s what I’m hoping for, as long as it’s in the final game tho, I’ll be happy

The double XP tokens were for the battle pass, not sure how that confirms a XP levelling system by any degree.
If anything I can easily see the XP levelling system NOT being in the game.
If there are plans to support this title for years and years to come what happens when players reach max rank after a year? 343 just leave it at that and you can no longer progress? Or keep adding levels per season?
Believe me, I want a XP levelling system but currently I honestly have my doubts that there will actually be one in the game.

There was a number ‘1’ on everyone’s name plate for the recent flight.
It’s probably safe to assume that we’re getting Spartan Ranks… similar to Halo 5.
Which makes sense… military ranks would run out very quickly… but a number can continue for a very long time. I would start with small jumps and increase exponentially out to level 100… and then repeat that XP requirement from there on; 101, 102, 103… 1000… 1001…
You don’t have to have ridiculous XP jumps / or a maximum ceiling like SR152 in Halo 5.

Fair enough, but it is possible that ranking will only be done through season / battle passes ? It sound ridiculous, but just curious if that’s possible.
I want 140 ranks. From recruit to Master Chief.

That number 1 was actually a Emblem. You were able to change that with the Waypoint app. It’s not connected to player rank whatsoever.
Changed my emblem to a Spartan helmet through the app and that “1” was gone. You could change it to a bunch of different numbers and symbols.
As I said, no indication or evidence in game that player levels exist as of this time. I want them to exist BUT I feel as if they may not.
To expand on the numbered ranks, I think that’s the system that should exist if ranks are in game but would you want to cap your rank at 100 if you want to support you game for years to come.
Numbers make it easy to expand upon sure but that XP gap is going to have to come eventually.
If you’re just jumping into the game for the first after 2 years past launch and see people at level 350 or higher and you’re a level 1 that can be a bit daunting. Which is part of the reason I think player levels MAY be going away

We will for sure have an xp rank like in mcc. We will also have ranked like bronze-onyx as well. Then there’s the BP rank. I’m sure it’ll all be fleshed out in the final build.

Oh I know they were for battle pass but maybe I just didn’t notice but they didn’t really seem to do anything since it never seemed like I was getting twice the amount of xp for completing challenges.
