Halo Infinite's Unpopular Match XP System Is Getting Overhauled

Halo’s transition to a live service hasn’t been a smooth ride. While fans have had a number of issues over server stability and map selection, one issue has remained constant: XP rewards and challenges. A recent blog from 343 Industries outlines the upcoming changes with the “Match XP Beta” expected to launch with the game’s Winter Update on November 8.

Like many live service games, Halo Infinite offers a battle pass that you progress through via XP. Unlike many live service games, however, Infinite doesn’t reward much XP for completion of games, and few challenges seem to reward competent performance in a match. Locked to specific game-mode playlists, challenges often seem arbitrary, overly taxing, and in some cases arguably reward poor performance. Currently, winning, gaining killing sprees, or maintaining a high K/D ratio doesn’t matter at the end of a game. The new system, however, will focus on match completion as well as player and team performance, with various weapon and mode-specific challenges providing additional XP boosts.
