This is pretty close to ruining multiplayer in Halo Infinite, too. They totally botched the rewards system (it's really, really bad), so everyone is complaining about that. But the core gameplay is actually really great, among the best in the series. If the stupid, tacked-on reward crap wasn't there, everyone would just be enjoying a fantastic online shooter. Instead most of the buzz around the game has been negative because of their terrible rewards system. But it's hard to argue with Fortnite's success, hence all the braindead clones.

Ah, I remember the old days, when you "won" by having your side win, and having a Kill / Death ratio sufficiently above 1.0. I haven't played much since the Halo: Reach release. Even back then, they had started adding XP, so that you could earn a higher rank... which didn't mean anything in-game as far as I knew. Just access to more fancy armor mods and such.
- Talanes 5y agoProgressing a meaningless rank is like the perfect amount of multiplayer grind. Just something that signifies "I've played this game a lot" for the players who care, without forcing it on those who don't.
- physicsguy 5y agoI just don’t care about the rewards, I like dropping into Infinite and playing some SWAT. As the rewards don’t impact the game, it doesn’t matter to me. I always hated having to grind in COD for guns
