I do like the game but I have complaints, as anyone else on here I’m sure. It has a pretty good setup, but for one which I’m sure a lot of people have said the progression is incredibly slow. I did get the battle pass and I love the idea that it won’t go away. I just feel like I don’t progress at all and because I earn almost no exp to sometimes no exp for even wins it bores me I end up doing a few matches at most a day if any at all. I know it’s a beta and so I’m thinking it might purposely be slow so that people don’t rush through it. Considering there will probably be many it shouldn’t matter if its a bit fast. I feel that Halo Reach did it best, I may be biased because it was my favorite. However I did start with the original Halo when I was a kid, Halo 3 when it comes to multiplayer was my second favorite. Nothing beats Reach’s progression though It wasn’t super easy, and it did become grindy towards the last handful of ranks but it was manageable. They had challenges too not as many but they had them, and you got exp based on not only your wins but how well you did in the match and that was perfect. You still got a decent amount even if you lost though not nearly as much, and sometimes you got jackpot exp after a match though that’s obviously not necessary but it was nice! I really hope that progression system somehow gets incorporated into Halo Infinites Battle Pass system, or at the very least increase the challenges exp rewards but I feel like that could be extreme if not done properly.
Now for the Playlists, I assume this is done because its still in beta so all the modes are being tested but I am super picky when it comes to what I play. I’ll play Oddball when I’m in the mood, and Strongholds can be fun. My game type however is Swat, and I’m disappointed that its not even in the list. I don’t like playing slayer because of the power weapons I feel like it takes away from it which is why I love Swat and you have to be good at shooting in the head. So it can be pretty annoying that everything is lumped together. I figured that’s just a beta thing though so hopefully that changes overtime.
So finally my last complaint is armor. I think what is in there is really great and how its set up I honestly love it, however my favorites are not apart of what we have and yet I know they should be so I’m kind of disappointed but I have hope. My favorite shoulders are the Security shoulders which shows on the Emile Kit but when you click on it to see the items its not even apart of it since they took the time for the model with them on it I figure that will be added eventually. I am a little worried about the Gungnir helmet though its my absolute favorite out of all of the helmets. I see nothing about it and yet it came about in Reach and is a Mark V armor set so it should be in Reach Battle Pass. Still hoping for it but that’s everything I have to say about this game, everything else is pretty great so far of what I’ve seen.
