Alright time to lay it out
1: having challenges that are ridiculous and force you to swap them, challenges should never ever be something you’re forced to swap if the challenges would be more obtainable then I wouldn’t hate having to do them and therefore would only swap the more time consuming ones making the system a lot more tolerable.
2: weekly ultimate rewards, this system is borderline pointless, replace the weekly reward with a set amount of credits to earn, 50 would even be a fine amount as for the rewards planned to come through this system as it is, change those rewards to be obtained through a separate challenge system something more like how armor was unlocked in halo 3.
3: input based matchmaking & crossplay, wow where do I begin with this one, as it seems 343i have not acknowledged the glaring problem that is forced crossplay in casual modes. After the way that the mcc allows you to change input based matchmaking preferences and even ranked play in infinite it’s clear that the option to enable/disabled crossplay is in the game just being withheld from the player base.
4: selecting specific modes, I honestly shouldn’t even have to include this because it’s such a no brainer. There’s absolutely no reason for you to be forced to match in quick play over and over and over again just to get one game mode and to circle back on challenges say you have a challenge to win an odd ball game but you’ve been sitting through matches for hours just to loose the odd ball match you get, you can see where the problem is I’d hope. It’s a blatant attempt to push the sale of challenge swaps.
5: the final topic I’m going to address is aim assist, it’s non existent for console players and amped up to a 50 on (pc controller) why… this is apparently a bug but is severely damaging my and many of my personal friends enjoyment of the games multiplayer witch is otherwise fantastic.
After all that I honestly can’t say that the changes to xp introduced today will make me play the game anymore on a day by day basis then I would’ve normally because the issues I addressed are so drastic imo, fingers are crossed all these problems get at the bee least acknowledged by 343i.
