Challenge system continues to be frustrating

Hey 343,

You have been amazing in your release of infinite multiplayer. It feels like classic halo and as a veteran halo fan, I am satisfied with the feel of the game.

I do have some concerns with the challenge system however. Once again, mazing job in updating this system already based on user feedback.

My concern is with the difficulty of these challenges, and when I mean difficulty, I actually mean RNG, and grind. I have 3 examples that highlight this:

  1. Pulse Carbine kills - Most maps/game types don’t even have a carbine so it feels impossible at times to get one to even attempt kills.
  2. Banshee bomb kills - In the 10 BTB games I played yesterday eve, the Banshee spawned once in the centre of the map, got taken immediately.
  3. Win Total Control Games - In the 10 BTB games I played yesterday eve, there were NO total control games I played.

I wonder if more general or more accessible challenges are required here. Or a change in the way matchmaking works. For example:

  1. Kills with more common weapons like the Heatwave
  2. Destroy challenges for more common vehicles (e.g., Warthog).
  3. Allow players to choose the specific matchmaking they have challenges for.

Love the work you’re doing, keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll give you more money, haha.

They actually had to disable the kills with heatwave challenge because it wasn’t registering kills.

maybe just remove the PVP requirement for weapon challenges, just so that I don’t have to be dead weight to my team because I’m constantly trying to get kills against diamond players with stupid weapons like the disrupter, mangler, pulse carbine ect. the PVP requirement for starting, Presision and Power weapons are ok and lowering the kill count to 5 instead of 10 would also help. and ok its way better then a few days back but its still not perfect

I agree,

Just complained about it in another thread, but I’m currently stuck with two challenges I can’t progress for the life of me. Kills with shock chains (I have no idea how to progress but have managed to get 1 credit) and getting 20 kills with a banshee bomb (All down to rng whether I get the Banshee and I am definitely not going to be able to get 20 kills in one game with them.)

Last night I had a challenge for getting a Guardian Angel medal. I got it by pure chance and haven’t gtten one before or after. The friend I was playing with required 3.

The Challenges are so anti fun it’s not even funny.
