Game 6: Problem with dedicated servers
Game 7: BR75
Game 8: BR75
Unlike other matchmaking game types, these modes don’t appear in the Fireteam Details screen. Is this to keep people from abandoning ship before the match even starts?

Cant stand their decisions.
Whens the rest of the content supposed to be released…oh wait they pushed it back another 2 years lolololol
Can someone else take over this franchise.

Dude the challenges are already broken. I got 19 kills in tactical.slayer. my challenge says get 50 kills. It only credited me 8 like sometimes I feel they are purposely limiting how many we get per round so we have to play longer
Can’t list them all (since there are so many 
), but with some challenges, I just instantly use the challenge swap. Well, assuming the weekly reward isn’t some sort of banner…

How do u complete Earn distinct Killing Sprees in Tactical Slayer
The challenges in this game are stupid because 343 didn’t add jack when it comes to content. It’s just BS padded playtime to show numbers.
I hate it when developers use crap like this because of their incompetence.
"Oh but you will you 
. Unless you’re willing to endure the countless games it’ll take to stop 5 enemy killing sprees you absolutely will spend money for easier more reasonable challenges. I mean, we had to recoup the losses caused by slashing store prices… Trust us Gamer, designing this system hurts us more than it hurts you. " - The 343 design team (probably)
Although, that last sentence is actually true regardless of the joke.
Its a poor mans way of buying time. Honestly a bit surprised they didn’t use Attrition rather than tweaking Tac Slayer… I wonder how much time implementing this half-baked event sapped from fixing actual issues…
The only other reason I can think of is psychosis - they seem so disingenuous and out of touch with the player base it’s ridiculous.
@Plastic_Hassle if it is it doesn’t work. People abandon as soon as they see it’s not their weapon.

I’m not gonna blame you if you do stop playing. Buuuut., leveling up in the battle pass gets you challenge swaps. You don’t even have to buy the battle pass to earn them. Challenge swaps help IMMENSIELY when you just wanna get something fast.
Those swaps are one-offs and with the amount of crap challenges and with this gamemode they probably won’t last long.
Yeah, that’s the worst part. I’ve had to use like 3 just to get something that wasn’t insanely hard to do.
Are you kidding me??? I got the mangler varient multiple times when I wanted just BRs.
The worst challenge above all is the killjoy one or the stopping an enemy killing spree. These challenges should test the player’s skill and knowledge, not gamble on some random enemy’s skill. That is basically the concept of luck, which is usually reserved for casinos or the lottery.
These challenges were intentionally designed with making the player play as much as possible. Remember that poor player who had to play over 40 games for the ranked CTF challenge? Man, modern gaming sucks.

Or the ultimate challenge a few weeks back that required 3 ranked CTF wins.
I worked out on average it would’ve taken 48 games to complete when factoring in if CTF would even be selected and the fact that you had to win the match.

What do the speedrunners say… if there’s a 10% chance something will happen on a run, it’ll happen when you least want it to.
Aka, if you want a specific gamemode, you’ll get every mode apart from that mode until you no longer need it.
I am pretty sure 343i purposely are doing this though. No proof of it yet, but the odds just seem waaaay too out there

I think the event challenges are probably intended to be a little harder than usual challenges. The event lasts 14 days, and there’s only 10 challenges, so the intent is probably to make them a little grindy

the problem there is, these are artificial difficulty challenges as in its all up to chance
a real challenge takes skill and a bit of teamwork where leaving it up to chance against not actually being able to do it is crap

The trash challenges that are in almost every weekly rotation are purely there to sell challenge swaps tokens pure and simple they probably not going away anytime soon.
