Well the good news is the head of Halo said they too are not happy with the progression and the beta helped with the feedback. They said fixing the progression is why the next season is delayed. It’s a massive undertaking.

I am glad they are listening. I assume you are too.
It isn't though. They can literally fix it right f***ing now.

If this is still the same come launch then 343 has f***ed themselves royally.

It will be the same at launch, mostly. Hence the season delay.
 
It is BS. Doesn't take 6 months to fix this.
matches last roughly 8 to 10 mins. Call it 9 mins.

200xp for playing a game = 5 games per level.

5x9= 45 mins per level. X 100 = 4500 / by 60 = 75 hours. 500 matches. To complete the BP. Right now it takes 2000 matches.

The 5 weekly challenges they can either scrap entirely. Make them 200 XP each for 1 extra level a week. Or something less like 80XP for an extra 40% BP progression.

I agree with scrapping the challenges. Just let me get xp the way I want to play. It feels almost like grinding Destiny bounties.

I don't mind them leaving them in for those who want to do them to level up a little quicker.
 
Ultimately, I don’t really care about the progression, but I can see how others might think it’s slow. They could bump up the XP for completing matches, and it would be kind of cool if they gave extra XP for medals earned in a match.

If 343 is going to keep forcing crossplay they have to get on the anti cheat quick. Seen multiple videos of guys using wall hacks. Scumbags.

Even ignoring cheating, it is getting really annoying being thrown in PC lobbies all the time. My team is 3 level 1s up against PC players who have pinpoint accuracy. I was having good games for a bit, now I seem to be in SBMM hell again. I played 5 games last night and lost 4 of them by a landslide. Most of my teammates are AFK.

Also quitting is a huge problem in the challenge system as everyone knew it would. People need certain game modes, so they bail at the start. The game fills those slots, but you can easily be down a ton in the meantime. I'm the only player left on my team chasing a flag carrier.

I think Nervusbreakdown plays on pc….kinda sus ;)
 
I play on PC right now with a controller, til my series x gets here. I actually think the crossplay lobbies are easier than the controller only lobbies. The controller ranked lobbies have some really good players

Man the number of people that don’t know that friendly fire is on in rank play is really high. I’m dying to friendly fire grenades and battle rifle shots.

Why it wasn't this way to begin with boggles my mind.

You in ranked? Cause Quick Play either doesn't have SBMM or it is very broad. The quality of player is way too varied from one match to the other. It actually feels more like the pre-SBMM COD games.
 
Nope.

In its current state a 6.
Well, Val goes by Gamespot.
