Why XP and XP caps are dumb

343 made XP caps so people didn’t get too far ahead in the game? Well anyone who just got the game can’t catch up now because they get xp capped when they try and catch up. I will be hitting the xp cap every day for the rest of Thanksgiving break and now they will never be able to catch up because they can’t physically earn more xp than me in a day. It makes no sense.

XP should be based on how much you play.

Especially when 343 doesn’t even announce what time they reset and challenges don’t count either (I’m at 116/117 games for the monthly challenge and I’m quitting every time I’m about to win until I start earning xp again). The entire system is dumb and not at all based on skill. WHO CARES ABOUT WINNING ANYMORE!

The new system (new from H3, not Reach, but Reach sucked so who cares) now promotes losing. If you lose, you play worse people and end up winning anyways. Unless you’re in the top 2% of best players in the world there’s a very likely chance you have ~50% win/loss ratio. That’s how matchmaking is supposed to work, but because of this you can’t really judge anyones skill.

There’s literally nothing to judge skill except K/D.

Which completely ruins all objective gametypes.

I don’t understand what compelled 343 to put this into the game? Thank god they still let me play without earning XP.

XP caps are the dumbest thing ever since xp doesn’t judge skill (by nature) AND NOW they don’t judge amount of time played either.

Seriously though, if 343 gives me a ban for quitting so many games because I’m about to win them I’m simply going to sell Halo and my Xbox. Since halo is the only reason i have an xbox in the first place.

So far i have been seeing alot of things saying you can only play 117 game matches, is this true? Or am i understanding things wrong?

Agree that the XP cap should potentially be removed.

Don’t agree with anything else.

You do realize that some people just play to have fun right? Regardless of post game carnage and stats.
