New XP per match feels like a workaround

Hey fellas, I’ve just seen the post by Junyszek on Twitter talking about the changes 343 is making on the battle pass progression (sadly, without any mentions of changes to customization and/or monetization) and it got me thinking about it.

When the last change was made, so we would get 100 XP per match, me and my friends joked about it being like a workaround rather than an improvement; and that got me thinking.
What I mean by this is, instead of XP per kills, medals, objectives, we just got a “daily” challenge, which was used for other actual challenges instead of a fix for us not getting XP per matches; in my honest opinion, it feels rushed and not rewarding, since I can get 30 kills in slayer and the AFK guy will get the same amount of XP as me.

Now, we got another workaround, where we will get 1K XP in 7 games, and then only 50 again per match. I honestly don’t know which community 343 is working with, but most people I know play WAY more than that per day.

Please, make a better progression instead of just giving us all the same XP for playing matches. I already gave you a tip on it, being on how Reach did it. Nobody is going to get mad about it, nobody is gonna be offended cause you’re copying the progression from a previous game, nothing.

I know you guys as just as excited for this game as we are, but the game feels bare bones at this point, like this should be the flight we were playing a few months ago.

I’d like to see you guy’s opinion on this and hopefully, an answer from 343, not just a “yeah we’re working on it” but an actual answer. Talk to us, 343.

I think this is just a bandaid to hold over the people asking for faster progression while they work on a better system like match score to XP conversion or XP for in-game medals, hopefully at least.

Well you’re right on the money, because it is. It’s a temp fix until they get the new systems in place, which requires much much more work than a simple challenges update.

This is just speculation, but there’s a chance that “workarounds” are what we’re going to get for a while because the challenge system is most likely a hard baked feature of this title.

Implementing a new system entirely might not be as simple as you want it to be.

Despite how well this game works, it feels kinda uptight. Like the screws are turned down a little too much, not a whole lot of wiggle room.

Be patient. Enjoy the gameplay, you didn’t download this title for a progression system.
