- 1st Game = 300XP
- 2nd Game = 200XP
- 3rd Game = 200XP
- 4th Game = 100XP
- 5th Game = 100XP
- 6th Game = 100XP
- 7th+ Game = 50XP
A significant improvement, yes, but there’s still 3 major problems with this:
- Winning still doesn’t matter, even less for winstreaks.
- Going 43-0 (haven’t done it, just making a point) doesn’t do any more for you than going 5-30.
- Rewards you for starting the day, but not play time.
And the challenge system still sucks. Look at Halo Reach and several of the challenges in MCC, 343 Ind. Those combined with reasonable playlists and demands were more enjoyable:
- Complete/ win X matches in Slayer.
- Kill X Spartans with a XXX.
You still haven’t addressed that the first challenge for example has enough RNG factored into it that if it weren’t for the ban, it would make more sense to leave matches until you get the mode you want. And the second challenge also has too much RNG. Map, game mode, AND weapons/vehicles/ equipment cycling in and out. If this is an attempt to increase play time, you’re not going to keep it going for long, especially when over 2/3 of the battle pass is locked behind a $10-30 paywall.

You know what? Personally, I’m cool with diminishing returns. I’m loving Halo Infinite, but there are other things on Xbox Game Pass that I want to play as well. I understand that you may see things differently, but it’s working out for me.
The moment I complete my first six matches I can call it a day and go play Fallout 3 (boy, that game is looking so good with FPS and Resolution Boost!), Forza Horizon 5, Unpacking…

I would rather have all the store armors BE IN THE BATTLEPASS. Cuz atleast then we have a chance to get these armors for only 10$ for all of them. Rather than pay 20$ for a helmet.

I guess if your playing for anything but fun with the game. From which you don’t need XP to get.

Haven’t booted my game up yet today but is it any match or is it PvP? If it’s any match then no one will every do challenges again and get the same amount of XP every day just by doing 10 bot matches and screwing around the whole time.
Do they not know they have a completely broken system that can’t be fixed and needs to be completely gutted?

I haven’t tried it on bot arena, but rembemer that the weekly challenges are also a huge source of XP and most of them can only be done in PvP.
Today I leveled up 5 tiers of the BP on just six matches by popping up an XP boost at the beginning of my play session and completing several weekly challenges while the boost was still on.

I’m definitely going to be using an XP boost and jumping into bot matches if the 300-100XP for your first 7 matches is just PvE. 343i literally just broke their own progression system by doing this. All they had to do is reward performance in social by breaking down the ranked system to be a much more itemized progression like MCC’s is. But still simplified as to where performance grants XP just like challenges do. Instead of having the rewards separate from ranking in MCC. Every level in Infinite always unlocks something more tangible and not a cursed XP boost or challenge swap.
in their pinned forum post they said they are still working but changes will take time. This is a decent fast fix and can hold us until they do the long term changes.

And it totally works in bot matches. I played one match and went a whole level up in the BP with an XP boost on. I got 1000XP total from the daily and one weekly. This is so broken now
Bot matches grant XP, but the weekly challenges that explicitly say “PvP” in the description can only be completed in non-bot matches.
Ahh yes. Those come later as you get through the general Enemy SPARTAN ones though. So you’ll still power through a few levels before getting more difficult challenges. Which is nice. But I want to be rewarded for performance. Not just given a participation trophy
As in the previous updates, XP boosts don’t work on the daily challenges which is what the 300-100 is. XP boosts ONLY works on the weekly challenges.
You sure? I got 1000XP for completing the first daily as well as one weekly
I’ve used it a couple of times and it does boost the daily challenge as well.
There’s still the weekly award for challenge completion
Good fix is to bump the base xp amount matches give (either double or triple the current) while keeping the daily match bonuses as scaling off the newly increased xp amount. Add in bonus xp for performance in a match (like past Halo titles) while also giving way less super specific challenges, with said challenges awarding more xp.
True. But it’s not the same as being awarded for performance. At this point it’s still just a participation trophy with diminishing returns. I got to level 31 in the BP today. I just want to get through to level 38 to I can unlock LUMU. I seriously cannot stand any of the AIs except for that one and since you can’t turn the AI off. I’ve been grinding to get one I don’t hate.
