Halo Infinite: A Poem

The gunplay is always nice and tight

The maps are such a lovely sight

But the progression system is purely ass

Do not buy the Battle Pass

Forget the game, go smoke some grass.

I mean, it never expires so there isn't any harm in buying the battle pass if you'll be playing anyways. But let's hope they speed up progression a bit.

It is very disheartening when performance doesn't matter at all in advancing the pass.

If this is the difference between endless and timed passes, give me timed.

Players' time is not respected in the slightest here.

the lead campignng dev the community manager already have said on twitter they are looking at the progression, we dont know what exactly they are gonna change but they are doing something, so there is hope to discover

tbh what I think is realistic short term is them changing the daily challenge to pop every game and give mroe XP, as well as the weekly ones giving more XP overall, long term, so season 2, im hoping for per medal XP, double XP weekends, and a proper per game baseline XP system.

I sincerely hope they don't wait until May 2022 to fix some things.

And yes, I very much appreciate how responsive they are to us. Luckily, it was a system like this that they fucked up on and not the core gameplay, which they absolutely nailed.

Well, almost. Shotgun needs to kill in one hit point blank, and objective melees need to be OHK.

we're gonna have to wait for bigger things that require new UI and maps and such, im just being realistic. The team ran themselves ragged making this game, and as they said they need time to cool down over the holidays before they even start making new stuff. Modifying the challenges is much faster and lower effort, so its much more realistic for them to do short term, im guessing we will know details when this month's inside infinite drops.

Oh yeah I'm not expecting new maps or anything like that right away. I'm just hoping that we're not waiting six months for things like an account-wide career, or per-match XP. Or slayer-only playlists, and things like SWAT.

Once we get Forge, then I'm hoping the community can bust this thing wide open and we'll get more maps.

thing is, a new progression system will need new UI and fully new code, likely not gonna happen short term, but modifying challenges can be done fast and without overworking the team even more. As for gametype playlists im not sure if that will happen, that needs its own new stuff but its fairly impactful on how challnges are done. My guess if we do get it now it will be a slayer and objective modes seperation.

But as long as they are open about it, which they have been decently, and the campign doesnt bomb, im willing to wait.

They can rip it out of MCC. That one works.

And I have heard nothing but good things about campaign.

Might keep me away from multiplayer for a week or more. As soon as I'm done with Heroic, where I'm starting, I'm likely going right back for more on Legendary.

this inst a mater of policy alone, its simply a matter of how software is made and functions, they cant just literaly copy paste the system.

I'm no programmer, but I really feel they have to figure out something quick.

Because we've got players joking that they "reached Inheritor" and post a pic of Level 5 of the Battle Pass.

not denying there isnt an issue, and im not saying there arent things that can be done quickly, im just trying to be realistic, and while I dont code myself my father has done so for over a decade, so ive been able to get his wisdom on this sort of thing.

I can't imagine it would take long to, just as a bandaid, to augment the Challenge System as such:
Complete a game = 50 XP
Win a game = 100 XP
Performance medal = 5 XP each

[NeoLuna]

yeah see having it outside of chalanges is hard to do short term, but modifying the challanges within the current system is a more realitistic short term fix.

anyway need to head to bed

[NeoLuna]

guess what. next week we are already getting a core part of what I guessed, repeating complete one game challnges, and more changes are to come.

Yup just read those tweets.

Pretty decent quick hot fix.
