Reasons to continue playing!

Hey team!

I’ve been playing for a couple of weeks now and have REALLY loved the multiplayer experience. I struggle, though, finding a reason to come back and continue playing once the event and weekly challenges are done and I’m down to 50xp per game.

I feel like I have no reason to come back? For myself I would find a lot of enjoyment continuing to play if there were more to the social side of the multiplayer experience. Being able to see and engage with the people I’m playing with/ against. Both in game and in the lobby (which feels dead and empty).

Another thing that would help keep me, and I’m sure a lot of other people, interested in coming back is some form of service record! Headshots, kills, most used weapons, extra challenges/ lifetime challenges (the banners/ lifetime challenges from Reach are a GREAT example), medals etc. and being rewarded for achieving them.

Otherwise just something to be able to continuously work towards and engage with. We all know the battle pass isn’t very fulfilling … Especially with only 50xp per game.

I feel have no reason to put in any effort either… Whether I grind hard and have a good game or sit back idle and die I earn the same … There’s no reward …

I hope other people agree!

A positive post yet still with actual critical feedback?!
This is insane, even I’m not that kind,
Yeah we need more reasons to comeback and play.
I don’t care about service records or ranks, but I would like more gamemodes, custom games, forge, etc. Stuff to goof off with while my GF and I wait for CO-OP to come out. But I wouldn’t mind a service record either!

I agree, but for me, it’s a lot more than what you explained. I was bored of the game within the first 2 weeks, mainly because of how empty the game actually is, and instead of adding content, 343 focus is on the BP/Shop. That doesn’t work for me…

Medal chests and stats is, in my opinion, part of Halo and always has been. Why this is not available from launch I have no idea, it totally baffles me why 343 would think not to implement this. Its not like they have said the game is still in beta. The Battle Pass is unfulfilling and gives players no incentive to play.

It would be great to be able to analyze your weapon stats, game stats, chase down some medals. In previous Halos we even had a killed most by stat

They have truly not understood what should be kept in the core features when trying to do new things

We need more maps and modes too. Im getting tired of seeing the same maps sometimes in a row. We need more Variety
And really wish theyd add the other game modes already

Thing is, this is OP’s first post.

Some of us provide constructive feedback daily and have done since the launch and before.

In all of our first posts, we started with “I like infinite but…” or “I like the gameplay but…”.

If we continued to do this on our 10th, 60th, 100th posts, it would be a little weird!?

Even when sketch finally wrote the first update after their holiday break, we all said thanks for the update and we’re glad you know and glad you’re listening.

We’re criticising because we want it to improve, if we wanted it to fail, we wouldn’t be here, because we wouldn’t care.

I’ve definitely done a few ‘claws out’ posts, and a few clips to highlight the frustration this game can cause but the vast majority are feedback.

Now if you’re talking (having a dig) about the “infinite sucks” threads then yes fine, roast them hard :wink:

Edit: ooh and the can’t take a joke people, those too, roast them too :+1:

Yeah it was SUPER hard to summarise … You’re absolutely correct that there’s so much more to it.

You’re spot on! I feel trapped to Fiesta and Attrition. I can’t find a ranked game and there are too many issues trying to connect to a BTB game. Everyone knows about this though, of course.

I’m definitely with you. Probably only positive BECAUSE it was my first post. After my experience today though with Infinite I was almost ready to create a new forum and just tear the game to shreds hahahaha

Once the game is actually up and running with almost no issues or complaints, then yeah, 343 Industries will see the play count drastically rise.

Till then, I don’t blame anyone leaving the game.

Only reason I have to come back at the moment is for ranked, but its just too damn sweaty to enjoy. I really do wish there were commendation type things to work towards

I come back because the game is fun. I don’t care about progrssion or stats beyond winning matches.

Plus there’s no other good shooters right now.

Man I’d love to come back for ranked but during the day I literally can’t find a lobby hahahaha
