Challenges like get kills with simple weapons are fine at the end of the day but getting challenges like get a flapjack medal 5x is not even close to okay why am I being forced to play specific ways and do outlandish things to progress an already stunted battle pass, challenges should be like in halo reach where they’re an after thought not the main way to level. If 343i would change it the preferred way would be your medals per match add up to a total and challenges are just a plus

It’s honestly absolutely awful! I just spent the past like 4 hours to trying to kill 3 wasps, which is nearly impossible because you might see like one wasp per game. It should really be that you only get challenges you can reasonably do in almost every match. Killing warthogs isn’t bad because they’re base spawns but doing anything with a chopper or a banshee is terrible.
And yeah that flapjack one is so annoying. I have only ever gotten one single flapjack kill and I was trying for a while.

Only 3? I have one right now to get 5 kills with the Banshee fuel rod. Not even 5 kills with the Banshee, it has to be the fuel rod. Talk about ridiculous.
I don’t even think the kill ones are okay honestly. Since it’s the only way to get XP, and players don’t have to option to play matchmaking without playing objective gametpyes, if they have a challenge to get kills they’re encourage to focus on kills in objective gametypes. Which isn’t the purpose of objective gametypes. Yeah, you’ll naturally need to get kills to do well, because how else will you defend the flag or a ball carrier? But kills shouldn’t be something you’re focusing on in those game modes.
Also, some challenges seem to be glitched. I had a tricky one to kill an enemy with the Shade Turret. After many hours of trying I finally could do it, only for it not to count for some reason. So I still have that challenge but I’m sure I won’t attempt it anymore. This whole concept is silly.
I think there should be more cumulative challenges, like reaching a higher number of kills of any type, than this. Something that comes naturally, that only needs time and not goals that force us to play completely differently to how we’d like, or how the objectives would demand.
People spend money on the battle pass for the rewards, so it’s just odd why the challenges required for those rewards are so specific & difficult.
If you want to artificially inflate the time it takes to complete a battle pass then reduce the XP given for challenges, don’t make the challenges annoyingly difficult.
The entire progression towards the battle pass already needs a rework, this isn’t engaging nor fun.
Destroy 3 wraiths" in around 100+ matches. I’ve only ever seen 4. Let alone with a enemy driving it and with the ability to destroy it
