I’ve been away from the site for a long time, so sorry if this topic has already been covered.
Won’t having the only Exp earned from challenges program people to only play a very strict way just so they can get exp? I don’t think Halo matches where the entire team fights over the sniper or flag kills will be healthy. It will mold how the game is played weekly. For objective style games it will most certainly cost match wins if someone goes for kills with the objective (bomb, skull, flag, etc.) rather than score. And on that note, why even bother winning the match if there is no reward for doing so? Other than W/L ratio, but outside of ranked who really cares. Most everyone will be going for the new armor in the battle pass anyways. This challenge system just seems like a way to make sure no one can farm exp to get through the battle pass too early. That’s pretty lame for the people who can only play one day out of a week so they can only get one set of dailies. How will they get Exp? Or the casual player who isn’t as good as others. You think they want to be bothered with doing challenges? No they just want to play the game and be rewarded for the time they put in. I’m just saying this sounds like a system meant for a very specific type of player and everyone else can just pay real cash to have their challenges switched out to fit their gameplay style.
Honestly, make the game fun first. Then we will continue to play the game day after day. Don’t make the challenges first as the only reward system linked to the battle pass for the new armors. And expect people to continue to play for that reason. That’s why I quit playing other games with a grind system. If I’m going to grind I’m going to do it my why, not some “get 15headshots while flashbanged” grind…
I’m probably blowing this out of proportion, but as other game series have show it isn’t out of the realm of possibility. I mean… It would be really lame if say to get to the last level in a multiplayer game and you would need the exact amount of Exp the last 151 levels combined took… Just saying. That would suck.
All this subject has already been commented previously, in addition to the arguments and problems that it exposes. It was concluded that 343 will surely grant experience for playing a certain number of games, both against bots and in PVP.

Okay I didn’t know. But still that is just for a certain amount. Meaning they are going to throttle exp like they did in Halo 5

Yeah I agree, but if 343i is aiming to get a whole need gaggle of new players we have to expect there to be an amount of player just in it to get these challenges in. And if they are coming from the fortnight community, I doubt they care if they win. It’s battle royal, their W/L ratio is horrible. Plus if you can get more Exp from doing more challenges than focusing on Winning a match… Why win the match?
Edit: it’s a horrible way to think, I agree. But that’s what exp only from challenges brings out. Atleast in me it does. I only have a set time to play. And it sucks I can’t spend it just playing the game

Ideally, they should give exp for every game played. Although I hope that people end up playing against the bots to get the challenges, and in normal games they act normally.

That would be nice and probably cuz bots are easier that will most likely happen. As long as there are no “human player challenges only”.

I think the best way to do it is with the Gears 5 example where challenges can be faced in any game mode, be it against real players or against bots.
I will repeat it as many times as necessary, Gears 5 brought many good things that 343 should be based on to create the best possible experience in Halo Infinite.

They’ve said there will be repeating daily challenges for completing 1 match. So you’ll have a daily, complete 1 match. When you complete it, that challenge will then reset and you’ll have the “complete 1 match” challenge available again. Before the feedback thread Unyshek tweeted that these challenges won’t repeat infinitely, but that it will be hard to get through all of them in a day. Since then though, when responding to the feedback about challenges a tweet by Jerry Hook seemed to imply they are now infinite. So either way, you won’t need to play the game any specific way for XP, and you’ll either have a large pool of XP to collect everyday, or potentially infinite.
