Since launch the numeber one thing that has been ruining the game for me is that there is no career progression system. So my question is when are we going to get it? I wish 343 would be transparent about it. I know sean from 343 said “in a season or so” but that’s so vauge. Lack of progression is one of the main reasons the player count dips because once you finish the battle pass you feel like you are wasting your time playing the game.

They mentioned in the recent video interviews that they were working on it.
The new XP system being trialled is the first step.
It’s not on the Roadmap for Season 3 - but it’s probably safe to assume it will be added to a 2023 roadmap.

When it’s done
The progression system hasn’t been officially added yet to the roadmap, but I’m hoping sometime during season 3 or season 4. Fingers crossed for sure fellow Spartan.

Surely it will undergo an Insider Flight ahead of launch too? That will give us as much as three months heads up potentially

Looking at 343‘s understanding of a „match based xp system“, i’ve absolutely no hope for the progression system. But maybe the last 80 players can enjoy when it comes late 2025…

It’s seriously confusing that it isn’t present already. It was a staple of past Halo games, is a staple in most competing FPS and it’s pretty much a free player retention boost. If they aren’t working hard on it already they -Yoink!- well should be.
I feel like they are reluctant to promise upcoming features at the moment after previous failures to meet timelines and the resulting player backlash. That shouldn’t stop them from telling us what they are working on and giving us vague timelines. That won’t keep everyone happy but it’s better than radio silence.

It’s almost pointless now. I imagine it would be season 4 or later. By then some people will have been playing for two years. Do they start those players at level 1 or max rank? Neither option is ideal. So basically it’s too late now to fairly implement anything.

After the news of the last few days, my hunch is that it is not going to happen…. Why would they now? Makes no business sense… they will keep the seasons alive for the foreseeable future (hopefully…) until whatever “new “ Halo is out and then let Infinite support wither on the vine much like they did with Halo 5… they know internally the player numbers are low and infinite will resemble what Halo 5 is now….
Considering 343 dislike stats, and went as far as to make sure the og stats were nuked, i dont think well ever get a progression system.

The development team is currently in Beta™.

That 1 autonomous toaster, which is solely responsible for the roadmap (Beta™) had a firmware update (Beta™) and is now broken.
-
Space and time is also Beta™ so see you next Glabukkla or Warghabrabbl when match XP will be fully integrated.

Progression system feels like its been in development for 5 years.
343 just wont do it.
Love to know why

The player dips happened when everyone figured out how unfun and unfinished the game was. No progression system is going to bring back players.

Should have been here since launch. Why its taking so long is beyond me…
How hard can it be to incorporate a feature that was around in 07? Lol

Or just give XP for medals you get in games, something like that shouldn’t take eons to implement.

who cares about xp if you finished a 6 month season BP in 3 weeks? Without any double xp…

I would guess mid-season three or season four.
