Two weeks have passed since the release of Halo Infinite<\/a>‘s multiplayer portion, and while the gameplay has received almost universal acclaim from both gamers and critics alike, the game’s progression system has unfortunately stolen the spotlight due to its numerous flaws.<\/p>\n

Halo Infinite multiplayer has adopted the free-to-play monetisation system, where the game itself is completely free, while the profit is being made by selling cosmetic items such as armour pieces, weapons skins, and various other decorations for your Spartan and their gear.<\/p>\n

Another modern adaptation is the introduction of the battle pass system, pioneered by Valve with Dota 2 and adopted by most of the big AAA studios over the last couple of years, players pay a set amount of money for a seasonal battle pass with dozens of tiers and then grind their way through tiers in order to unlock numerous rewards.<\/p>\n

Halo’s developers promise changes to the progression system<\/h2>\n

The community has quickly realised that Halo Infinite’s cosmetic customization is seriously flawed. Most prices for individual items are ridiculously expensive, and someone calculated that you would need to spend over 1000 USD to unlock everything in Halo Infinite<\/a> – this includes only items available in the store at the launch of the game.<\/p>\n

Jerry Hook, Halo Infinite’s head of design, commented on the progression issues today, stating that the developers are “feeling everyone’s pain” on the matter.<\/p>\n
