I would honestly think you guys could come up with something other than that, “To The Victor Goes The Spoils” challenge.
5 months in a row, 343.
5 Months.
IN.
A.
ROW!
Amen, brother.
To the challenges even matter any more?
They don’t do anything if you hit the max rank.
Plus the monthly is always a weekly challenge from Reach.
I honestly wonder what goes on at 343i, it’s really mind boggling how it takes so long for something so simple to happen. Like thinking of a new Monthly challenge.

I honestly cannot understand what might be so incredibly pressuring at their studio, that in a little under a half a year, they cannot come up with something as small as just changing the monthly challenge. Heck, steal some challenges from Reach if you have to!
Wasn’t one month 117 wins or something?
Why is it always 30 now?
Seems too low, I can get that done in about 3-4 days
I know! I was complaining after having it two months in a row. And they keep lowering it too! 117 was too many for me, but 70 I would get at the very end of the month. When they changed it to 30, I got it in about two weeks. They really need to come up with something better before it becomes “Win 10 games.”
I don’t know, it’s not even hard to think up challenges.
Get 200 flag captures. There, that took me ten seconds.

It’s ridiculously simple.
Get 150 splatters in a vehicle.
Extract 50 bases.
Get 100 assassinations.
Three, off the top of my head.
I’m assuming the challenges are randomized in a pool of available challenges for that slot
Only problem is that thy seem to have only one challenge in the monthly slot 
TBH, It’s soooo easy to rank up in this game I eventually Tried to avoid doing the challenges (which was quite a challenge actually).

I know that this isn’t a very big problem, but it signifies something much greater. I’m worried by 343’s inability to do something so incredibly simple, that even I can do it with extreme ease.
Either that, or they’re just being lazy.
I totally get where you’re coming from, but to the victor goes the spoils .
It’s probably staying the same so that anyone can accomplish it no matter what gametype they play. Some people don’t like playing CTF, KotH, or Dominion.

It doesn’t have to be gametype specific, for example:
Assassinate 150 enemies
Splatter 50 enemies
Kill 100 Spartans with a secondary weapon
I could go on and on. The fact that some people do not like certain gametypes is no excuse to stick us with the exact same thing for almost half a year.
It is nice that you guys have nothing but time on your hands to play Halo 4, but let me speak for those of us that actually have jobs and life responsibilities. The monthly challenge I agree with, but to make leveling up more difficult I would would be sitting at level 20 still if this happened. Sorry I don’t have most of my day to devote to playing a video game…and you have to remember the original Halo players, when the game first came out are now in their 30s…

Almost your entire post is completely condescending and rude. You are in no position to judge others, as you’ve no information about them.
But I’m not here to fight with you. Basically, what I interpreted from the highlighted section is: “I agree that the monthly challenge should be changed, but it should be kept easy, lest people like me who aren’t as blessed with free time can still succeed in the game.”
It’s not that we want the challenge more challenging, it’s just that we want variety in our challenges.

I wouldn’t mind seeing those used, personally. Was just pointing out that they leave the monthly open to something that doesn’t really require people to alter their play style.
Assassinate 150 enemies : I doubt would pop up, because that, is the entirety of the Backstab commendation. You would already be getting awarded with new armour, and the exp from the commendation. Giving MORE exp on top of that doesn’t seem like something 343 would do.
Splatter 50 enemies : Suddenly, playlists without vehicles are graveyards (causing a whooooooole mess of other complaints that occur when playlists are underpopulated) at the beginning of the month, and those that have them, would turn into one giant mess of bumper cars.
Kill 100 Spartans with a secondary : Well helloooooooo Boltshots, for starters. Again, you’d see un-natural fluctuations in the playlists. SWAT would be swamped with people derping around with their Magnums out.
Don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE to see the monthly get a shake up in variety. But challenges that A) Have a commendation associated with them, or B) Require a different style of play to accomplish outside of the norm, should be kept to a minimum, or within the weekly/daily challenges to minimize the impact on the ‘meta’ game.
To be blunt, keeping the monthly at winning matches is the simplest way for 343 to cover their -Yoinks!- and avoid more problems from popping up. Not saying it’s a GOOD thing, but it is what it is.

Considering their big finale to Spartan Ops Season 1 was sending Requiem into a star because it sounded cool and absurd and they could think of nothing better…I think that gives some indicator of their methodology.
