In its current state, as other users have pointed out, the current band-aid 343 slapped onto our issue is actually less effective than just giving into the community’s wants and needs and fixing the issue.
Putting it into perspective, 50xp a game with 1000xp a level and 100 levels in the pass would stick us at 2000 games without counting auxiliary challenges to complete the battle pass. With we’re looking at approximately 1600 or so give or take? I didn’t do the math but it’s a reasonable enough spitball. But that’s WITH ignoring the entire objective-based match we’re forced to play because 343 didn’t implement proper playlists like they should have and grinding out challenges as they come about.
Since XP per action (Kill, Spree, Metals) would require a little more elbow grease instead of changing a few lines of code, why wasn’t a more reasonable number set? 200 is too much, 150 sounds reasonable. Even 100 guaranteed is reasonable? Why 50? Do you really wanna push microtransactions that hard? After all the multi-player portion of the game was pitched to us as Our story of Our Spartans that we customize. So why are you being so stingy with the cosmetics? No offense but the whole Halo 5 method didn’t fly well with the fans. What made anybody think this would be any better?
I say all of this genuinely and with no disrespect though as a member of the halo community I do feel personally disrespected.
