The Halo Infinite Battle Pass progression is proving a major bone of contention for new players.

After the surprise drop of the Halo Infinite multiplayer mode last night, players were quick to jump in. While early impressions are positive, the community seems united on one particular issue - the speed of progression for the game's Season One Battle Pass.

The top post, titled "there MUST be per-match XP," states that "leveling the battle pass is frustrating, completing a hard-fought game only to slowly see increments of sometimes 100-200xp per challenge and nothing else. I really hope they implement XP for matches completed and matches won." Dozens of similar posts can be found across the subreddit, with many praising the game overall but expressing dissatisfaction with this particular system. One player said that in an hour of playing, they had yet to even hit level two.
