You do realise weāre talking about weekly challenges right?

I wasnāt referring to the weekly challenge, I donāt even know what itās about, Iām referring to people who complain about the season pass progression being too slow because they want to complete everything very quickly then after some days or weeks they start complaining again because āthereās nothing to do in this gameā
And even if you skip a weekly challenge, well itās not a big deal at all, it was probably gonna give you a mostly ugly piece of armor anyways
Bros just quit when you donāt get the correct game mode. There is no reason not to. I leave every single game I get on Launch site immediately. F*ck that boring map and the snorefest of one flag.

Thereās unlucky, and then thereās āby designā.
Iām not saying people doesnāt have extreme bad luck, but Iād still argue weāre dangerously close to being in the āby designā territory.
Myes, idealy one would like to complete all weeklies in a week.
And really? Why did we move to personal territory?
You donāt evenā¦
Why are you commenting if you have no clue what itās about???
People have been giving āreportsā on not getting the game mode they need for an extended number of matches after theyāve gotten a game mode specific challenge.
It can be a crazy coincidence but it also feels as if it is by design, that when you get a game mode challenge, your game mode weighting is altered to give you modes you donāt require.
Thatās far from being āimpatientā and wanting to complete things as quickly as possible.
Itās about the possibility that i343 intentionally made a system, or have a glitch in the MM for some reason, which prevent you from getting a mode you need. How everything is set up, with no game mode specific playlists, tracking a few select challenges at a time, and challenge Swaps sold for money, it is possible thatās the case. I wouldnāt put it past them considering Activision has patents on shady systems meant to increase MTX sales, one which influence the matching of players directly.
Iām fairly certain players would be perfectly fine with waiting 5 or 6 matches before getting the mode they need, but 12 matches in a row, and upwards? Or heck, in my case, 12+ matches needing both CTF and Stockpile, getting neither.
Impatientā¦
I want to know if thereās something influencing the matches I get based on what I need for the challenges Iāve got.
Tell that to the person match hopping 16 matches to get Oddball, and instead got banned.

RIP buddy. I didnāt know you could be banned. Iāve left 6-7 in a row more than once before with no issues. Just lucky I guess.

Yeah thereās been a few of those.
Then players getting banned when the game crashes mid-match.
I never went after the challenges, and I get all modes regularly. Not sure if that means something, but I am leaving it here just in case.
Same for me. I just play and assume most challenges will complete by themselves.
Not one TC match is some damn bad luck though man, you probably have some good karma build up now so I would buy some lottery tickets if I were you.

To me it seems ridiculous, no offense but you are in conspiracy theory territory here. And it wouldnāt make sense because while you have a oddball challenge, someone else in your lobby could have a ctf challenge, another a strongholds challenge etc. so if the system is rigged as you claim, no one would be able to play the game mode they need and you can clearly see that it literally doesnāt make any sense
But even in the case that it takes you 3-4 days to complete a weekly challenge, is it really a big deal? Youāre talking about it as it is some kind of GAME BREAKING GLITCH, chill out

This. We all have our frustrating moments but no use in scheming about sinister plots to get every last nickel from your pocket

Itās honestly one of the ones I used a swap on. I really feel like this challenge was placed there on purpose. Itās insane. I was also gaming for hours. I would be ok if it said play 3games, but to win three?! Thatās just terrible. I would have had to find a solid 8 people at least who would play the objective seriously.

Yep this is a problem at the minute regarding the way the challenges work. Im currently waiting on a Strongholds game, fortunately the challenge reward this week sucks so Iām more bothered about the challenge for the bonus xp but its still frustrating and kind of encouraging people to quit just so they can get the game mode they need and get the easy challenges out of the way withā¦
Incredible, just got 3 consecutive total control games on btb.
What is it They sayā¦ better late than never. 
The weeklies arenāt even good additions to customize options tho. I really havenāt seen a decent reward in there.
100% the whole game is designed to annoy you.

You may be right but Iāve grown cynical over this stuff, particularly when other developers, like ones that used to make Halo, have been busted specifically for such behind the scenes rigging.
Yesterday I needed a stronghold game. I played for about an hour or two and didnāt get one game. so I turned off the xbox and said to myself - canāt be bothered.
Went on today to play some ranked purposely not trying to do the challenge on stronghold.
I got three stronghold games in a row.
343 knew I turned my xbox off in disgust.
Ive been wearily looking around my room all day for the camera.

Best not to focus on just trying to get those objectives done and just playing the game. Itāll make the experience better in the long run.
