All this wont stop until Dec 8th when all the talk shifts to the actual game.
Lol. A red flag. At worst, it is a minor gripe in my opinion if you are concerned about progressing through the BP.
This talk will disappear again for a while once we play the game and are enjoying ourselves.
Then 2 weeks after that, youâll have something else dug up so people can complain.

It all depends on the nature of the challenges.
I know itâs a FTP title with a BP system etc but remember the days when you didnât have a meaningful progression system and instead played the game because you enjoyed the actual game lol.
I am calling it now that the system will be tweaked for season 2 with XP awarded for matches but the overall system will remain unchanged.

There is a nice compromise here and its that pretty much lol. Regular gameplay should give enough xp to move forward and be supplemented with challenges.
Anyway MCC handles it fine and I trust Pierre and his multiplayer team.

Aaand of course /r/games jumped on the ânew expâ stuff. Though canât say Iâm surprised, the sub has been pretty unfriendly (putting it lightly) towards Microsoft for a while now.
I think so many of these complaints (read: all) are completely premature. We donât really know how the system is going to work exactly, we donât know what the challenges will be, how much they award, etc. At the very least we should wait until the next tech test, or the test where they say âyeah weâre testing the challenges system here tooâ before jumping to massive conclusions.

SoâŚthey are reverting the radar from the tech test back to how it was before ? So weâll see spartans walking on the radar now ?
Oh yeah, of course I will enjoy it. Even without the battelpass. Itâs just if I put money down for a battlepass I would like to make meaningful progression through play. This has nothing to do with having fun with the game.
But I will definitely get all battlepasses for this game and just hope that I donât need to play in a way I donât want just to progress, you know
While at the same time putting in a cheeky âKill 10 enemies that are off the radarâ challange
The greedy bastards!!!

IIRC they said theyâre updating it to be more in line with player expectations, so reverting is a likely thing.

Iâm not sure they confirmed what the change was

My concern would be that challenges take precedence for players over the matches themselves. For example, âget three sticky grenade kills in a single match.â Teammates will prioritize silly scenarios rather than just killing the enemy.
If you instead have more passive challenges like, âcomplete X number of matchesâ or âkill X number of enemies total with this gunâ then is it really even a challenge and does it differentiate itself from passive XP to warrant? Probably not.
I speculate that the battle pass system being retained until completed opposed to swapping out seasonally is predicated on challenges being more in-depth than passive and therefore requiring time and dedication to complete.

Being this one a minor concern compared to other things, imo they shouldnât address it for now, otherwise people will make another one out of thin air the instant after, lmao.
