Nice first half of the month for GamePass owners. Interested in half a dozen games.

I will lose my ISH if AoM DE gets announced!!!!

Do you have a link to the Reddit post?

Way to avoid the question for sure. There should be no reason why a "MICROtransaction" should be the price of a full on DLC or even times, a season pass. 

I'm halfway through the battle pass already, so the speed of progression isn't really an issue imo...it's just the way you progress that's not exactly optimal, and leads to many people playing for purposes other than helping their team win.

Also, this first BP is just kinda shit if we're being honest. It's only being bought for Emile's set, and the effects. There really need to be more armor coatings moving forward. Am I really supposed to be excited about unlocking 2 near identical shades of blue...that are in turn near identical to the cadet blue you already start with? I mean come on. I know you went with the whole Noble team vibe for this first season, but you coulda given us some extra stuff that's actually desirable, instead of an ungodly amount of challenge swaps I don't need, or 20 different shades of gold visor.

Chipotle is having a promotion where when you enter promo code HALO117 at checkout, you get 5 challenge swaps lol

One level from 6 matches is slow, very slow compared to other games.

Gamepass additions look great.

I gained 2 levels after my first match with an xp boost and 3 weekly challenges completed. Then 5 levels in an hour once the boost ran out. Of course this will vary, but with how friendly they are with xp boost and the new daily challenges, progression speed isn't an issue. 

My nephew beated his COD battlepass with 150 games (a lot of nuketown), after 60 games in HI I am still at 16.  It is way slower. , just rework the sytem so you get XP for playing the game, turn those rewards for challenges into XP boosts and make the weekly challenge a community challenge so it may unlock for everyone who participated.  Would be way better, if this system still exist with the release I hope the game MP reviews will bomb.

What a sad world where everyone only cares about the damn battle passes nowadays as if the gameplay and everything is only secondary. This whole gaming world is so stupid since some years if it comes to multiplayer games...and sure, let the whole reviews bomb because you will need some more matches to reach the maximum level compared to CoD! You have half a year time for it and will easily manage to reach the max if you are even half a Halo fan especially with the already improved system but you should be able to reach it in a week!

You are 16 after 60 matches and that mostly without the improved points system which only started yesterday? I find the stuff you get in the Battle Pass pretty bad and how you get the points is also bad because players play "wrong" because of it but why in the world should it be so damn easy to reach 100? It's supposed to be at least some kind of challenge after all...if half the players will be at 100 after a week you can also just not have it at all and directly give it to the players.  

1)You may not like battlepasses but they normally add a lot of value and fun to MP games. If they weren't important why did like almost every Halo player here got the battle pass? HI battlepass is not good and damages the game,  unlocks are a let down while they sell the nice stuff with overpriced prices.  The XP progression is so slow but they added the ability to buy more XP and the challenges hurts the game. A ton of people can't play a lot but will feel forced to do the challenges and it is annoying when you are going for the objective yourself. Pretty sure most also played way more fiesta games than they really wanted to but they wanted those unlocks....

2) The improved system started yesterday, I was lv 14 and ended with 16 after getting some of those XP challenges.  It is not about making it easy, but playing 6 matches to increase one level is slow compared to other battlepasses (and yeah  I don't know all battlepasses). The progresssion issues that a lot of people seem to dislike is not beneffing the game but hurting it. I would hate it that other (MS) studios will copy it.
