My question is why can’t we have the standard skill rank 0 to 50 like we always had in addition to the battle pass rank. I get the need for the xp and battle pass ranking its a free game microsoft needs to make money on the game fully support that. Limiting players to challenges only to rank up is only going to discourage players from playing more. Which results in them moving on from halo and less money for microsoft. To be clear i am a halo fan boy i know the lore i have read all the books and have thousands of hours in the games. During the most recent Flight i stopped playing as much because there was nowhere for me to go my two challenges were something that i was struggling to achieve and honestly had no desire to grind out and try for, with no swaps available playing lost its appeal because i was not progressing i had nothing to show for what i was doing in game because i could not get past the 2 challenges available. Why not give players like me a system that encourages me to play and work towards my 50 rank and give me a battle pass progression as a secondary ranking system to unlock gear. I felt penalized for getting 20 kills in a game because i didnt progress in the battle pass because people were getting to the br or sniper first and i needed those specific guns to complete my challenges. When i play halo for hours on need i want to feel like i have a purpose to keep playing to rank up to win. What you all think am i crazy for wanting a more standard progression to go with battle pass xp?

I’m pretty sure it’s going to be just like Halo 5. You will have your SR rank for general rank up stuff for cosmetics and what not and then you will have the Ranked/Arena playlist where you can earn the ranks. Granted it won’t be the 1-50, it will be Bronze-Onyx.
What two challenges were you stuck on?
As the other user said the final game will have a ranking system Bronze to Onyx. We don’t know entirely how it will operate yet, but I hope it is similar to Halo 5’s current system where you can’t hit Onyx from placement games.

There isn’t a 1-152 system like h5. There’s only the battlepass. No SR system or any equivalent. I assume we will have seasonal bronze-champ ranks for ranked arena that rest, or something similar.

I was just using the same terminology from previous game. Sure the SR will now be Battlepass. Same concept.
This makes more sense thanks guys for chiming in. I support what’s being done just in my matches i played i got stuck with challenges like get a sniper kill which is great except i was playing a lot of objective matches and trying to capture the flag or hill and i would get say 15 kills in the game and defend our flag so other team cant score but would then get basically no xp and nothing to show for game play so if we are going to have a dual rank than that makes me happy.
