I would like to thank whoever thought having nothing to play for after completing the season pass was a good idea.

You got your weekly challenges.
We asked for more xp and we got it. Originally it would have taken much longer.
I’m level 90-something so I’ll be hitting 100 after Tuesdays challenges.

I think it should have stayed longer to be honest, because I will also finish the Pass next week and I feel like I haven’t even tried to complete it lol… I now have like 30 Challenge Swaps and 11 Xp Boosts… wtf?

Same. I hit level 96 a few days ago so will be completing BP by Tuesday. The BP or weekly challenges aren’t the actual issue…it’s the total lack of career progression in this game (ie there isn’t any). Look at COD as a perfect example of how a career rank, BP and store can all work in harmony together. 343i just got it totally wrong with Halo Infinite…I’ve used this term to describe them before, but 343i are incompetent and best and negligent at worst. You’d think they were a small indie company bunch of amateurs but they have the best part of a decade of experience and data to get this game right, yet they still managed to epic fail is so many ways. It’s actually quite pathetic.

Save XP boosts for S2; and swaps for weekly challenges and S2…you’ll complete the S2 BP in next to no time too compared to most players.

I don’t care about a career progression, think it’s pointless imo. So I dunno but maybe others were of the same opinion.
It’s clear many people seem to want or need it to keep playing so they’re working on it.
I don’t think it was negligence tbh. Career progression in games has become completely arbitrary and pointless. You get an almost one arm bandit determined amount of exp that’s a drop in the ocean of the max rank. I’ve never been invested in it in any game. Although I did hit max rank in Halo 3 just because I played it a lot.

Fair enough if that’s your opinion. What would you like to be added then or think is missing…or are you happy with the way things are with the BP and weekly challenges?

Weekly challenge unlocks I think are weak. Would prefer better stuff to be unlocked. The fact we can get a nameplate, armour emblem, weapon emblem and vehicle emblem for the same thing taking up 4 weeks is incredibly poor. So far it’s been almost all fluff.
Wouldn’t mind some long overarching challenges such as X plasma pistol kills that could unlock a coating for the weapon. Capture X amount of flags. Just long term goals that can always be focused on while playing. I don’t mind playing just to play, but it would be fun to grind something specific out or to reward specific playstyles with unlocks that represent what the players do.
I’ve just never been a fan of performance based xp. There is sbmm, so technically you aren’t rewarding performance. It averages out over time and generally it’s just too large a goal. Take Halo 5 for example, took most people about 10,000 hours to hit max rank. The whole xp bar moving up an indifferent amount after every game is not something that has ever captured my attention. I’d never think oh I got a triple kill, a bonus bit of xp. Now I’m 0.00000001% closer to max rank, I did really well.

Totally agree on the longer challenges…again something they had in COD and pretty sure in previous Halo games too. I fondly remember the grind for Achilles in Halo5, so having personality goals like that for kill types with rewards is something that should be implemented. Such as:
1000 BR kills (legendary weapon emblem)
2500 BR kills (legendary weapon charm)
5000 BR kills (legendary weapon based nameplate)
10,000 BR kills (legendary weapon skin)

The question is ; Is it a funny joke or a bad one lol
Seriously though, The Season Pass and the concept 343 Industries is introducing will more likely force other developers to rework there season passes and allow players to keep them and work on the whenever they want while new content and passes are released.
I’m kind of wondering if people who only play for cosmetics and nothing else were ever even interested in playing Halo to begin with.
Can’t really grasp the mentality of just quitting just because you’ve obtained all the currently available cosmetics that you get through events and the battle passes and what not.

I regret buying buying the battle pass as there really isn’t anything good in it… Sadly I got caught up in “new” Halo… Definitely be more selective next season, if there isn’t anything good…not buying.

Honestly the content in that pass was Meh… I mean for a season pass, Warzone had better offerings… Fortnite did better… These guys just scrapped together something quick… Hell they could have at least let us unlock all the armor peices for noble team when we got the kits … unlocked a kit equals you get all those peices… Put more armor prices in place of those XP boost and challneg swaps … and maybe add those as extra unlocks …
Overall I was rather let down by the amount of content that the Battlepass gave
I’m so thankful I had credit on my Xbox account … I’m zero dollars in on Halo infinite thank god
Typically these types of things in games are obsolete for future seasons. It’s bit me in the rear so many times in other games to hold onto currencies or boosts only to have them removed or useless for the updates.
But this is my first time playing Halo since H3, so maybe they allow you to bank them idk.
Play ranked. Get onyx. Then get higher onyx.

Obviously neither of us know for certain as 343i haven’t confirmed it but I’d say that they will be banked/roll over in to S2. There are swaps and XP boosts available at the higher levels of the BP so it would be bad form for 343i to make them void. I may well buy the BP after I hit level 100 this week so I would be very annoyed if any XP boosts are voided. I can only take my previous experience of Halo and COD where XP boosts would roll over into forthcoming seasons.
Edit: in last 10 levels of BP there are 5x challenge swaps and 2x XP boosts…add another 4x challenge swaps and 2x XP boots if you go back from level 80. The last XP boost is at level 96 and challenge swap is level 99.

You should try playing a game because you find it fun for once. If you want a never ending grind go play wow.

Ranked does nothing important. Waste.
