I’m done with my weekly’s, including the ultimate in about 4 hours of play time… Only used 2 swaps on “kills with Pulse Rifle” and “win CTF” – Not complaining, but now I’m kinda out of things to do. Glad I can do campaign the rest of the week.

I had to destroy 3 warthogs. Took a few hours to clear that. I think you just got lucky.
I cleared mine quickly last week but not this week.
Tomorrow I will have to try and get 5 chopper gun kills which was glitched last time I had it so I’m not looking forward to that.

You got lucky. 12 of my 20 challenges are all “play X gametype and do Y times thing”.
Painful.
edit; Used an experience boost. Website shows it as active and I “lost” one from my inventory, but no XP boost functionality is working ingame.

they were very easy last week too, for the past 2 weeks my challenges have just been “kill x amount of spartans in pvp” or “get x kills with sidekick/br/ar” or “complete x amounts of games in pvp”.
I don’t think they are TOO easy now, I prefer them like this as its less frustrating. I think that the more complex challenges are fun on paper but they are just anger-fuel, especially with the laggy servers and the RNG on game mode.

This might be a hard thing to balance. My husband and I only get a very small amount of time to have a break and play a game. I doubt I will even get to Level 100 in 6 months, my husband, who tries to make time to have a game, still hasn’t even been able to get to a ranked level yet. We don’t stress about it, it’s just a way to have some fun and a break. BUT, for those like yourself, I’m not sure, maybe some sort of an extra award ? Maybe a special armour piece or something?
Mine are all done too except Play Oddball and 3 Guardian Angels 2/3.
Until it relies more on skill than it does on the chance of getting into the correct game type, it will always be fundamentally flawed. They need to completely redesign the entire thing as well as allow people to select which playlist they want to play.
It’s entirely based on luck as it is. It doesn’t matter how good you are or how much time you spend playing the game, it’s theoretically possible under this system for someone to be completely incapable of completing their challenges in the time they have to play, based on pure chance.
I thought maybe they made challenges easier for everyone; but alas, sounds like I got lucky this week. Last week took me multiple days and probably 10+ challenge swaps to complete.

They didn’t announce any changes for this week, so I think you just got lucky. It took me 20+ hours to get though everything last week, which is over double what I normally play in a week.
Week 1 - weekly challenges too hard - most people didn’t even get to the captsone
Week 2 - challenging weeklies, and frustrating capstone
Week 3 - weeklies OK, capstone a GRIND
Week 4 (we’re here) - weeklies good/ok, capstone EASY
They’re gonna look at the raw data and see how many people completed challenges, capstone, attempted, who quit playing when, etc etc.
It’s all data gathering, I’m not surprised to see an easy one thrown in - keeping in mind this is also the week campaign launches, so people will be playing less MP this weekend…
This is how they learn - from the hundreds of thousands of people playing, and seeing completion rates for different scenarios.
What is the capstone challenge?
My thoughts are EVERYONE should have the same challenges every week, and a challenge swap brings in a random challenge from the pool. And when people challenge swap there should be a statistic gathered and 343i should remove the challenges that are constantly swapped.
It was mind blowing to me that my challenges vary from other peoples challenges. The RNG as you laid out is why it was so weird to me, like yours was easy and mine was easy but others have really awkward challenges? No thanks.
Everyone had the same challenges in halo reach and that wasn’t ideal. Everyone would be fighting over the same stuff. 343 intentionally went the other way with it this time. I think the change is OK.
Edit: can you imagine the shade turret challenge, or similar, if everyone was trying to get that one?
I think they eased them up this week for those of us who will be playing the campaign.
shhhhhh thats going to make the tinfoil hats tingle
Well, the average player needs to have a chance to complete these challenges. I’d say that most people posting in these forms are probably above average.
Oh, stop it. 
lllll
Some weeks for me are easier i think you just had a good week.
You can try to reach onyx but yeah ranked mode is the only progression in multiplayer besides the battle pass
The challenges this week are horrid for me. They’re all to play X gamemode and win Y times.
13 of the 20 total. This is going to be a long week.
