This is still how it works, but now every match grants you an amount of experience points (just 50, but it’s a starting point, at least), so you can grind the Season 1 battle pass, which will stay here until May 2022, a bit more easily. Single matches or your varying performances didn’t get recognized and didn’t offer any boost in how many XP points you were gaining to raise your level – only daily and weekly challenges did so. Before an initial fix, progression – which is based on a Fortnite -like battle pass – made it so complicated to just get experience points. That said, the game’s most urgent issues were obvious right from the first Flight, and haven’t been tweaked that much for this beta. You know exactly when it’s prime time to get that melee strike in.īeing a beta, everything we’re reporting about could change in a matter of weeks, and it’s already doing so based on community feedback. Weapons instantly give you an idea of their effectiveness, showing both visually and concretely that they’re doing some serious damage to your opponents. Focusing on physicality, the game makes it so useless to just stay in one place and snipe your way through tens of kills as you’d usually do in a Call of Duty game. The dev team has nailed the gameplay loop Halo fans love the most: every fight is about shooting, but there’s also a deadly dance taking place while the shooting happens, where you’re both trying to get into melee range to finish the opponent off with a quick bash from your rifle’s butt. Halo is content with its size there and it doesn’t chase battle royale or bigger games such as Battlefield 2042 down, keeping its DNA mostly unaltered.Įvery map offers tight spaces and continuously pushes you to have 1v1 fights, which is why you’ll always feel useful and able to get some kills or gain some objective points for your team. This also works for Big Team Battle, a playlist where you can play 12v12 matches (the biggest player count in the game). Developer 343 Industries found a good formula, especially in the Arena matches set on more contained maps, where you don’t have much downtime between matches, rounds, and even deaths.
It nails the right balance so you don’t burn out too soon and don’t have to wait for too long before you can’t actually get some action, which is a problem in shooters with bigger maps.
