Please add a progression/rank system on top of the battle pass like what we had seen in reach where its extremely long term.
Understanding that there will probably only ever be enough unlockables to sustain the battle pass and the store i would not expect over the long term, nor should anyone else expect such a ranking system to come along with unlockables. Thus the satisfaction and unlocking aspect would be satiated by simply reaching that next rank.
I believe a lot of people were looking for a lot of legacy aspects of halo to be there and and adding such a mechanic would make a lot of people happy. Being able to tell your friends your rank or such would mean a lot more about how long a player had committed to the game compared to checking steam for your hour count… and compared to the ranked playlist which a lot of people dont like to play because they may not have teams, friends, confidence or even the time to commit.
I find it important to consider the impact of legacy mechanics beyond them being in an original game or being “what makes halo” and consider the effect of how it makes a player feel.
Now a lot of people may disagree with this but i’d even be happy with this being tied into the current exp system. Baseline 50 exp with increases where u have them from your first 6 games, challenges and such. Im not gonna make the argument for skill based exp gains, that alone sounds way more complicated and something that could throw off what 343 has already committed to here as of now compared to adding a ranking system that syncs up with whats already there.
Thank you for all the hardwork you guys put into the game. Hope this means something.
