I find myself lacking a purpose for playing Halo 5 other than unlocking req packs or grinding endlessly for the Achilles set. Yeah, this game is fun, more fun then most games out there and yeah it’s like the only game I play but I just wish there’d be more purpose towards it.
Remember in Halo Reach how there were daily, weekly, and monthly challenges? That should be added in a future update.
Maybe a monthly challenge like ‘Win 20 games in a row’ or ‘Get 5000 kills’ or ‘Kill 50 bosses’. Weekly challenges being the same thing only not as demanding. Daily challenges being like ‘win 5 games of slayer’ or ‘get 20 plasma grenade kills’. Rewards being req points, emblems, or maybe even a unique armor for monthly challenge completions gasp?!?!
I am just saying, the menu screen is built in a way that challenges could easily be implemented. The REQ system is also a very good way to reward players for finishing challenges with packs or points containing pre-determined or random loot. Idk if it’s just me, but challenges that I would have to work for each month would definitely keep me coming back to play (not that I don’t, but it would just make me more enthusiastic). I’ve already nearly completed the majority of my commendations and the higher the rank I get the more the grind feels like.
It just feels like the only reason I am playing is to advance to the next level and buy more packs. What happens when us month one players get to the highest achievable rank (doubt that’ll happen for me) and unlock every item? Most of the member base will have no purpose to continue playing and will just leave. We need more stuff to work towards 343, the Achilles armor and helmet were a great way to get people to work for something other than grinding and it really boosted spartan companies. You guys should do more stuff like that, challenges and goals. Maybe even Spartan Company challenges for more armor?! SC’s are getting closer and closer to unlocking both the armor and helmet and will soon lose purpose other than to unite some Spartans, give us more goals and challenges!
But seeing as how 343 already has a schedule set and probably won’t be implementing any more ‘new updates’ (and by new I mean stuff not already on their worklist), let’s just hope something like this is at least added in Halo Wars 2 and Halo 6.
“Kill 120 enemies in any gamemode” + the firefight score attack playlist in reach. Then getting the 5k or however many credits was just so satisfying for some reason
I agree, I would love mp and campaign challenges (such as complete a level under a certain time, or kill a certain number of a certain type of enemies). And each time you complete a challenge you get a req pack or bonus points.
I miss those. I also liked Reach’s commendations a lot more. They kept me playing for a long time, a long with Reach’s progression system. It was only missing a true skilled based ranking system.
Yep, would love to see them return too. Didn’t Halo 4 also have them? A lot of people have asked for them, along with other things like a Halo reach style carnage report where you can see the medals and top spree everyone achieved, but so far our requests have gone unanswered. Maybe in the memories of reach update?
I agree ya the armor is nice for now but all my SCs has left is the helmet what do we do after that I’ve heard of people wanting to split from there companys after they get the armor people need something like this to keep them going and keep the SC’s together and this is a great way 343 should really jump on it before they loose to many player to some other game
YEEESSSSS that would honestly increase the longevity of this game overall… Challanges are what keep me on reach for awhile when i was grinding for a security varient…
I forgot about those, but YES. I barely have the motivation to get the daily win packs, but I usually play for those and then call it quits. Daily Challenges with bonus RP would be really sweet.
