The battle pass itself isn’t what people are complaining about, it’s the lack of basic customization options that are a basic feature of the game which should come with it rather than having almost every single customizable locked behind paywalls - Don’t even get me started on how they’ve fragmented the content into…

Thanks for telling us how we should feel.

The problem is that your math is taken from what is already an absurdly long season, regardless of the slow battlepass or not.

I disagree with this “yeah but it’s actually fine, you’re just impatient” angle.

Listen, I’ll admit that I am trash at most shooters, at least in a multiplayer setting. I have no interest in matching the intensity, focus, and time commitment required to git gud. But I can still enjoy them, especially Halo. And I have still enjoyed the matches that I have played in Infinite despite dying 4 times…

this article feels a bit like someone lighting a fire then stepping back and shaking their head that things are burning. industry critics and journalists lit into the battle pass, churning out article after article about its problems — now you want to say things have gotten out of hand and that players have missed the…

My main complaint is I get equally rewarded for performing well and abysmally. I could hop into a match, walk away, and get just as much xp as someone carrying my team in my absense.

No it’s not. The rewards aren’t that great just tiny bits you can barely see, you actually have to unlock the left upper arn one then the corresponding right one then the one for the rim of your helmet, none of which you can see because it’s just your forearms onscreen, no in game currency unlocks, and like 30% of the…

What’s with this apologist piece the developers themselves say they’ve been playing the game on their time off and hate the progression. That should be enough to just make your entire piece invalid

I want everyone to be aware that this whole BP scheme is so integral to this game that it led to the deprecation of the classic red vs blue color scheme to serve it. They literally gambled with the gameplay by created this silly player highlighting system to give greater emphasis on customization and personalization.

“One refrain—and it is legit—is that, the way Halo Infinite currently works, there’s very little incentive to play to win. “

The battle pass is the slowest, dullest one to date I have had the displeasure of experiencing. Compared to another Microsoft owned game’s game pass, Fallout 76 seasons feels faster, more rewarding and thats from what people have nicknamed the daily chore list. This is free mind you, far less grind and no options to…

it must be awful living life while being this monumentally retarded.

This is a dumb take, the battle doesn’t encourange playing the objective and that in itself is enough to say it sucks.

You guys need to shutup sometimes. 

No all the battle pass rewards are not free. I keep unlocking shit that I cannot use unless I pay money. Don’t even show me the non free rewards. As much as we all shit on EA, they did a great job with this in BF V. 

I think the challenges are annoying and i hate that this is the direction Halo has gone as a whole.

The battle pass is not fine. Nearly half of the unlock tiers are challenge swaps (useless to me and to most people, as I’ve been easily completing all of the challenges in two days - but certainly not something anybody is excited to level up and receive instead of something concrete) and 1 hour double XP boosts…

Alright, seeing this argument in comments is one thing; seeing it as the main thrust of a Kotaku article is another. Claiming customization isn’t a key part of Halo would have been perfectly valid in 2007. As it stands, I’ve been slapping an ODST helmet on my avatar for well over a decade worth of Halo games... and it…

Not for me

Some challenges feel like a chore (yes there’s a lot of those in Fortnite and Apex), but also the “Super Challenge” when you finish the weekly challenges feels like a kick in the nuts, because you grind a lot so you can finish everything and then a surprise challenge appears and ruins all the fun (Specially…
