![]() Infinite's makes me feel like I'm constantly being punished for playing the game wrong, and it's a problem that's only going to become more heightened as new seasons drop with their own passes. A good battle pass lurks in the background, granting you new toys and occasionally nudging you with new ways to climb the ranks faster. ![]() Seasonal FOMO sucks, and it's good to know that I'll never miss the chance to dress my Spartan up as Jorge from Halo Reach because this season's goodies straight-up aren't going anywhere.īut I'll probably never get the chance anyway, because I can't see myself tearing my hair out climbing this pass as-is. It's frustrating that I'll never get to drop into Apex to the sounds of synthy bagpipes because I wasn't playing in Season 7. Halo Infinite even promised to fix the issues I do have with battle passes. But more importantly, I'm not going out of my way to chase challenges that'll only net me a naff Mozambique skin and some crafting materials.Īpex's passes aren't ideal, but they're quick and easy to burn through. Yes, most of the cosmetics are unusable to me as a horrible Horizon one-trick, but I'm unlocking them at a brisk pace through regular play, and there'll probably be at least a few weapon skins or charms that find their way into my rotation. Despite having serious concerns about many ways that game monetises (laden down as it is with loot boxes and limited-time offers), I still buy the Apex Legends pass every season because it feels like a fair way to support a free game I'm playing for hundreds of hours. Here's the thing: I don't hate battle passes. Infinite, in contrast, barely gives me any tools to stand out. Halo: The Master Chief Collection's seasonal unlock trees had similar rewards, but by default you had enough options (and a completely freeform colour system) to make a Spartan that still felt your own. The current Pass has a handful of fairly snazzy unlocks to let you cosplay Halo Reach characters, but most levels will give you a dull new helmet, kneepad or armour coating (colour scheme). The idea of completing 100 of these levels feels immediately offputting at this pace, and it's only doubled by the fact that Halo's customisation options are all a bit, well, naff. A mere 200xp for lucking into a game of Oddball? (Image credit: 343 Industries)
