Halo Infinite's next big update is close at hand as 343 Industries wants to update the FPS game with XP per match, new maps, the release of the Forge beta, and a brand new 30-level battle pass. However, players have noticed an issue with the new multiplayer battle pass as it looks like the Halo Infinite update is somewhat lacking in space.
It should be noted that everything in this Halo Infinite update is free, including all 30-level battle passes, so while complaints can rightly be made at level 343 for how he chooses progression, the team is still trying to pay back and acknowledge concerns that The Halo Infinite Battle Pass felt slow in multiplayer.
Free in-game rewards for leveling and playing are always a good thing, especially with the upcoming XP change that rewards winning matches and completing a goal, but many players have noticed that the Halo Infinite update's 30-level Battle Pass reuses a lot of content.
You can see a list of all Halo Infinite Winter Battle Pass rewards in the image below.
On paper, that's not bad, but I think the 30-level Battle Pass is so crowded with them that players can easily notice it. Four of the 30 are for the same shoulder armor with slight variations, four more are for the same emblem (just on different locations), four are for experience boosts, and then there are a few more shoulder pads, a few helmets, and a visor.
It all looks good, but players want 343 to combine things like emblems and shoulder pads into one tier instead of spreading them out so heavily and getting rewards that seem less and less rewarding the further in the update goes. Halo Infinite they get.
It's a tricky balance really, as you want the rewards to feel like they mean something, but also to have everything distributed in a way that's exciting instead of just seeing what, essentially , the same reward appears over and over again.
Despite these complaints from players, 343 Industries is trying to fix their mistakes, and it's great to see free rewards and a massive overhaul of the game in this Halo Infinite update. Bye Reddit filled with talk of reusing tiered items in this free battle pass, it's worth remembering that's not all.
If you're looking for more Halo Infinite content, 343 recently responded to fan concerns about adding campaign AI to Forge so they can create their own Firefight, with 343 saying it's "the main thing" for the game. According to the team, Certain Affinity's new Halo Infinite multiplayer mode will also be "something more".
