Since completing the battle pass I have no motivation to play multiplayer? No progression, no rewards, no cosmetics, no nothing? Oh and definitely not for a stupid toaster backdrop. This is a huge problem for game longevity im already bored with the extreme snail crawl releases of content. Such a shame.

Fun? Competition? Excitement?

I’m going to assume your referring only to unlocking more stuff. There is only the weekly rewards and the timed events.
The community demanded faster progress on the battle pass. We can’t have our cake and eat it too.

Do you play Ranked? You can always progress in Ranked by improving your gameplay. If you’re only playing for cosmetics, I’m not sure what to tell you.

Theres no point of multiplayer even before the bp is complete. Because bp has nothing good in it and this game has so little content

Good point. Dont get me wrong im enjoying the game. Its just not the Reach progression system where your time and effort actually felt rewarding unfortunately

Weekly capstone. Other than that. Play for fun or play something else.

Well it’s supposed to be fun, but they once again tilted too far into E-sports, so it feels like a slog to play.
Hey, I hear you. It’s all individual preference.
I never personally cared about the Reach progression system or H5’s progress (SR) system or associated cosmetics (unless there’s a really cool piece, maybe). I’m a competitive guy, and I play Halo the way I play sports, to team up with friends and win.
But a lot of people get a lot out of those progression systems, and that’s great. Hopefully Infinite does a better job for that crowd.

Competitive players are not interested in the gamepass, in fact most platinum, diamond and onyx consider the battlepass a “little extra”.
CASUALS take the battlepass as their “main-content” and that content is made to last 60-90 days. If you finish it in 15 days for playing 12 hours a day and “Doing absolutely nothing more than playing halo in your life” that is the problem of the user, not the Dev
A NORMAL person plays 8 games a day maximum as a hobby.

Let the ranked grind begin!

I get what you’re saying. This is why most are pushing towards a career progression system in conjunction to the battle pass. What sucks is that most gamers these days are conditioned to see progress as part of the core gameplay. I mean it kinda is, and I’m victim of this as well.
I guess on the bright side, you get to relax a bit and just play the game. On the even brighter side, it seems that the devs are already working on a new system(s).
PS. Great work getting the BP finished, Spartan.

Nothing., nothing at all at this moment.
I’m beginning to realize that progression systems are terrible for games. People are in it for the superficial dopamine, and nothing else.
I played Halo for years. No progression systems, rewards or otherwise. Just “Halo is fun.” The gameplay is unique and dynamic, that’s what I loved about it, and hated about the last 10 years.
If you need something more, I think you should find something else more enjoyable and fulfilling.

This might be true if the desync wasn’t so bad. Nades just vanish. Single melee kills are back Dying through corners happening more often or we all are just noticing it more, hit scan nonsense dying to bullets that are behind you is making it even worse. BTB is literally broken, ranked sucks to play when the game is giving you 30% chance to win games every single game. Ranked creating csr matches of 6000 vs 5000 - like that should happen lol - other team is getting an additional player in terms of talent. Ranked is only mode with a br start. Hit scan swat sucks just like it did in 4 and 5 (thank the Lord we don’t have different types of swat though like in h5 where I can use 5 different weapons in 5 different matches - ruining any sort of a rythem).
Hard to take anything in this game seriously, and we don’t have forge to mess around in - so severely limited fun factor for messing around.

Agreed on all fronts. I’ve been playing Halo almost exclusively for 10 years, and this game has absolutely zero draw.
I used to play Halo for hours on end, months at a time. This feels like a grind just to play 1 or 2 games for the bonus EXP.
For 343 (since you want constructive feedback in complaining posts): Fix BTB matchmaking. It’s almost impossible to join a game solo, literally impossible with a fireteam, and matches routinely start with players missing. (PS: You don’t deserve to run Halo because you consistently do a piss-poor job with every launch).

This is always the dumbest response… people don’t stay if there is nothing to earn, they go somewhere else that has a real leveling system to keep them. People like progression and to at the very least know they are getting better. Third parties have stat trackers, how does halo infinite not?
Actually the community demanded a lot of things, gee idk, like a real xp leveling system like every multiplayer game ever? That would keep people around.
Most of the stuff you mentioned could be solved just by them extending wait times (you know, to more than 5 seconds?) and making sure that players are placed into better matches. I’ve had games in Ranked on 300 ms of ping… That is insane, zero reason why they should force my team of US players into an Australia server, that is my example. I know that the current system isn’t great, but that should be a simple solution in my eyes.
Bruh you are speaking to the choir… That being said you could still have lots of fun in CE/2 without Forge, its absence is heartbreaking but I don’t think Forge would just fix every problem with the game.
Yes but you could also say that the CSR does that as well. They definitely need a more long term progression system, but I just think that any system that supports grinding or spending tons of time (you may not have) is bad psychologically. I am well aware they are popular but that does not mean they are good inherently.

If you are so weak minded that a leveling system hurts you psychologically god help you. You sound like those parents who don’t want to keep score.
And CSR doesn’t do squat, people get deranked when they win games and the gameplay itself is trash! Who has fun with ghost melees and dying when you have already run around the corner. Open you eyes dude.
