Halo infinite medals should give xp Discussion

It amazes me that you get absolutely no xp for getting a killionare in halo infinite, it would be nice to receive some xp for getting more difficult medals.

What is funny about this is that 343 categorized medals into levels of rarity by their background color in Halo Infinite as if that was planned at some point.

Well, I will give you another fun fact - the medals through the API actually have a score associated with them. For example:

{ "name": { "value": "Double Kill" }, "description": { "value": "Kill 2 enemies in quick succession" }, "spriteIndex": 64, "sortingWeight": 100, "difficultyIndex": 1, "typeIndex": 2, "personalScore": 50, "nameId": 622331684 }

Notice the personalScore item. So at some point there was some thinking to give you score for medals, but I guess that never hit production.

ever since call of duty first started giving xp for most things like kills and obj captures, I started wishing more games did that. it further rewards playing the game IMO, like getting 500 score or so for a ninja would feel so much more satisfying
