I strongly feel that preformence in multiplayer should count for something. I feel that everyone just getting 50xp wether they get 0 kills and 10 deaths or 26 kills and 2 deaths is a hard thing to watch. I have been a halo player since halo ce on original Xbox and I can say some of the best times I had was progressing through the ranks of halo reach. I feel that preformence should give the player the prestige of a rank and also give them more xp on the battle pass. If you fear that the player will progress to fast then cap the xp gain at like 300, give 100 xp for every 1000 points earned during a match.
The 50xp per-game solution sucks because it’s now encouraged people to farm XP by going AFK, I’ve encountered this annoyance way too many times.
match XP is the solution, you should be rewarded for actively participating in the game, not really sure how challenge-only progression was given the green light, especially considering some of the challenges at launch were so specifically hard to achieve.
I’m neither here or nor there on the XP part.
But as for the rank… It’s frustrating when you drop rank despite playing well. But that is the nature of team games. Pretty much of all sports.
I’m not sure how else they can do it.
The problem with systems that prioritise individual performances over the result just end up encouraging selfish play.
And I know the recommendation is always “team up”. But in my case I can only play a handful of games here or there. By the time I get an invite it’s time to log off.
Pity FFA isn’t a bigger thing.
