Halo Infinite's Battle Pass Just Got Way Better

The new model speeds the process up significantly. For your first game of the day, you’ll earn 300XP. The second and third will net you 200XP a pop. Games four through six, 100XP each.

Watch Out!!! Sony butthurt fanboys are on their way to downvote every positive comment and news.

Welshy968d ago (Edited 968d ago )

Or maybe people have legitimate criticism of what remains pretty poor system, criticism =/= hate. Boosted XP for 6 matches does nothing for a die hard fan who is going to play long sessions and see virtually nothing in return for their time investment in the game.

The whole first 6 matches thing is dangerously close to daily log ins you'd see in a mobile game that exist purely for "engagement" and forcing you to come back more frequently.

What if you only have 1 day per week to play and want to play a good 6-8+ hour session that day? You're going to progress at a snails pace and it's going to put people off. "Fanboyism" doesn't even come into it.

Xbox-exclusive Helljumpers could be competing with Helldivers 2 very soon

The absence of Helldivers 2 on Xbox continues to be felt by its players, as Arrowhead Game Studios’ team-based shooter remains one of the year’s most popular games. However, that could soon change with the impending arrival of developer The Forge Falcons’ Xbox-exclusive Helljumpers.

rlow137d ago

Didn’t know about this one. Will keep an eye out for it.

Cacabunga36d ago

Very original title.. wonder how they came out to that

Kurt Russell36d ago

It's just people having fun in forge, calm down

RaidenBlack36d ago

'Helljumpers' is the nickname for Halo's ODSTs (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) and predates Helldiver franchise by about 11 years.
calm down.

PhillyDonJawn36d ago

I can enlighten you. ODST a type of marine in Halo orbital drop shock trooper. Aka helljumpers.

Christopher36d ago

Yeah, Helljumpers existed prior to Helldivers.

BISHOP-BRASIL36d ago

Ok, so Helldivers guys want to fight Helljumpers guys... I'm just gonna leave this here.

so... this is a mode for Halo?

"As always, we look forward to bringing the Helldivers 2 experience to Halo Infinite"

should you be chasing someone elses concept? make your own and stand out.

this is a lazy, imo, thing to do.

Redgrave36d ago

In this case, I will say that's a poor argument because look at all the soulslikes and such. There will always be the first, and then all the imitations/inspirations that follow.

gold_drake36d ago

sure, they specifically call out helldivers tho ha

repsahj36d ago

Even the name is so unique?

dumahim36d ago

Following a game type trend is one thing, but to do that and come up with a name that's very similar as well takes it to a whole new level. In the movie biz, they call stuff like this a "Mockbuster" movie, kind of like Transmorphers.

RaidenBlack36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

ODST ('Helljumpers' is their nickname) as a concept existed way before Helldivers 1 (by about 11 years) ... it was never properly executed in the Halo FPS games' multiplayer ...

PhillyDonJawn36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

It was revealed 343 actually had plans to release a side halo game with that concept but MS turned it down.

To those making comments about the name, thinking theyre ripping it/copying. Yall clearly don't play Halo 😂

DustMan36d ago

Hasn't really been worth revisiting for quite some time now.

PhillyDonJawn36d ago

@dustman True or not doesn't change anything I said. Anyone that was around during halo 3 and after knows what ODST are. They even had visor colors called helljumper.

isarai36d ago

I don't think a forge map is going to match Helldivers 2 🤣

jznrpg36d ago

Funny. Reminds me of Chinese knockoff games

Relientk7736d ago

When I read the title, that's what I thought it was.

I wish these would be in the game

just_looken42d ago

I wish they made the game a actual last stand all the know spartan teams halo wars 2 crew together with other unsc forces fighting in space and on the ground.

But nope one spartan again on a open bland map with good combat but a meh story and marines that still act the same.

With so much time gap you think the marines would have better armor and the Spartans would have special guns beyond the laser made for them.

Do no get me started on the opening cinematic were atrox gets taken out.

The lack of flood/blood overall rating decrease what a letdown this game was halo wars 2 last decent halo game for me.

Tacoboto42d ago

These don't read like they really would've made the game better, just even less like Halo. Except for biomes - how the heck they only had one biome is the biggest disappointment.

I'll watch the actual video later.

just_looken42d ago

It was the power of the 2000 xbox and 2005 xbox 360 only there we could get coop and more than one biome.

Toecutter0042d ago

The fact that when you boot up the game it immediately takes you to the multi-player menu (a first for the series), rather than to the campaign says everything you need to know about 343i, Xbox, and Microsoft Studios.
