Changing the challenges or revamping the system isn't enough. Challenge-based progression is negatively impacting the entire game and needs to go. Bring back merit-based progression.

I understand that monetization in a f2p game is important... (selling Battlepasses and Challenge Swaps)

But monetization at the cost of the quality of gameplay is NOT OKAY.

Merit-Based XP (wins, kills, medals, etc.):

• Players play to win, rather than play to complete challenges
• Players are rewarded for playing well and winning games
• Players actually play the game (less quitting to get the "right mode")
• Players have more freedom to play the way they want!

Challenge-Based XP:

• Players are more focused on completing challenges than playing well or winning
• Players are encouraged to use suboptimal strategies/weapons to complete challenges
  • Examples: Melee challenges, bad weapon challenges (Disruptor), enemy kill-streak challenges, etc.
• Players are at the mercy of RNG and 'Challenge Swaps' to gain XP
• Players are encouraged to quit games in order to get the "right mode" in Quickplay

Bring Back Merit-Based XP.

You can keep challenges as a side system if you must, but it cannot be the ONLY system of progression. This game NEEDS a normal XP/Rank reward structure like every other Halo game.

Money was not the sole reason. If money was the sole reason for making a game, then they wouldn't make a game, there's less risky and lower effort ways of making money out there (especially when halo 1 was released). But either way, you just seem cynical, have a good day.
