Okay so first off, I’m not a fan of the way you progress through the battlepass at all. You can have an amazing game that you win and your whole team does amazing. But if you didn’t complete a challenge, it’s literally like you never even played the match. I really don’t know who thought this was a good idea. The game itself is great but it’s already being crippled by the fact that there is no main progression/level system. I hope they decide to change some things around with the battlepass, or at least find a way to add a XP based level system like reach where you actually get rewarded for playing better as opposed to this challenge centric grind based system they currently have in place. I really want this game to succeed

It is a really flawed system, especially since you can’t earn xp in bot multiplayer.
I agree, I hate when I am trying to complete a challenge with whatever gun and it doesn’t even spawn on the map! I HAVE TO FINISH THE GAME (DONT GET REWARDED) AND TRY AGAIN!!! Its extremely unsatisfying going 20 and 0 because you didn’t want to play the game doing stupid challenges. I don’t even want to hear that you can swap your challenges because it still changes the way people play the game. This is what cod does, it makes challenges that want you to get longshots so you head to the back of the map and wait for people to walk in front of you and at the end of the match you realize you sat in the back the whole time. Its fun for no one.

I kind of agree. How about instead of missions where you have to do a specific thing, like: “Kill 5 enemies that are defending their zone”, we have missions based on cumulative metrics that one can complete over any number of games, such as: “Do 10000 damage in Slayer”, or “Get 50 kills in Strongholds”. This way your good games will contribute to your progress more, and you won’t have to worry about revolving your entire match around completing a specific odd feat.
I remember grinding firefight on reach because it was my favourite game mode, I love shooting the covenant just as much as other players.
with how this is set up I won’t be able to play firefight like games to progress… it just won’t be possible.
This may be my biggest turn off in the game so far. Sure, there’s a place for milestones and challenges, but individual player performance should be the main determination for progression. It’s straight up demoralizing when you have an amazing game, and don’t see the progression bar budge an inch because you didn’t happen to complete a challenge, let alone if you were put in a game where the challenge isn’t even completable.
I totally agree, the progression is not fun or good. I mean there is literally no incentive to even win matches, just complete a matches for challenges. If my team destroys another team and gets a steaktacular or something or I get an overkill in 4v4 I am being rewarded the same amount of XP as a player who was AFK the entire match. What’s even worse, I just noticed today that the complete a match daily challenge which is really our only source of gaining XP regularly goes from complete 1 match to complete 2 matches after the third daily challenge. If you play more than 3 matches a day you’re only getting XP for every other match that you play.
MCC has a great way of rewarding wins, skill and teamwork while still having challenges to supplement your advancement. I don’t understand why they moved away from the great system they already created.
