@EA_MakoThey should also consider letting players buy the previous battle passes, (for those who didn't play during those seasons), as well as make battle passes like Halo, where they don't expire.

I wonder if doing that would just let players who already owned a pass finish that pass without repaying for it. (I'm at level 96 on S1's pass, the only one I never finished due to the grind S1 was).

@Midnight9746,

I'd love to see that. I look back and see a number for S7 instead of the animated badge and it bugs me every single time.

I don't even remember why I didn't finish that season, but now I'll never forget that I didn't. 😅

  @EA_Mako Yeah, the level 96 bothers me sometimes, but at least the other ones are finished. Is the new battle pass going to work where if we finish both splits, the badge is animated or would we have two animated badges?

    See, that's a nice looking collection there! We just need to have a few more badges to scroll down so you can't see the first one. Out of sight, out of mind? It'll be much longer for me haha.
    
    We'll likely need to wait for the patch notes for the details, but there is a benefit to leveling past 60 on the new Battle Pass related specifically to upgrading badges.
    
    Whether that will be the usual animated badge(s) or something else I'm not certain yet, but just referring to this portion:
    
    You’ll now earn double the Battle Pass rewards across the entire season by completing both Battle Passes (more on that below), and you can continue your progress past Level 60 up to Level 100 to upgrade your Battle Pass badges.
