I don’t. I think the amount of time/frustration that goes into completing these is just not worth the reward. I can either A) spend a couple hours going up against multiple enemies whose shields just won’t pop, or B) spend a few minutes playing a couple of Slayer matches for the same amount of XP.
I say either reduce the difficulty of these challenges, or make them worth a lot more, like 10,000+ XP.
It’s all about opportunity cost…
I don’t do nay challenge cuz im 130 but when I whanted xp I did not did em
If you are going to do them I would suggest recruiting a friend to do it also. Or somebody on the forum. More fun even though not quite as challenging. Unless of course it specifies to do it solo
I’m an SR-130 so most of the time no.
I find most are easy because alot are challanges that state “on any map” which results in me just playing the first one. The Forerunner one took a little time but i just picked what fights to do. Also im sure these can be don with Co-op so if you found anothe ryou could blast right threw
Nope. i gave up on them, b/c i cannot stand starting off with the Assault Rifle, with certain skulls activated.
It depends on how hard they are and how they fit in with my achievements. I’m 130, so the bonus does not apply.
I was… right up until I managed to dislocate my -Yoink!- right thumb which has meant no Halo4 of any kind for me for the last few weeks. Gonna kill me when the next SpOps ep comes out this week. May just go ahead and try and play anywhooo.
Kind of missing my Xbox tbh.
But back to the matter in hand… I like doing the campaign challenges because it rewards you for doing skulls. The points are meaningless though (you can get loads more playing MM SpOps tbh.
Who else thinks you should get way more points doing the Legendary skulls runthroughs SOLO?
Yes, there is not much replay value after you beat the game solo legendary. It feels like a waste of time if I’m not earning any thing.
I want campaign commendations.
I used to. When they only required a couple Skulls, I did them. Now that they all require Mythic and Tilt, it’s not worth it.

Same. A lot of the Halo4 campaign actually isn’t very enjoyable.
Back in Reach I used to do the campaign challenges quite often. Me and my friends would use the challenges as a welcome excuse to revisit favourite bits of the campaign with different rules and objectives - speed runs were good fun, hunting Moa was hilarious, finding the Golden Elite was a nice challenge, and if nothing else the “kill x enemies with x weapon” kept things varied and contributed to campaign commendations (what happened to them?). Halo 4 campaign challenges are just “do this level with skulls x, y and z” which, for most people, won’t require them to radically alter their playstyle.
Xp shouldn’t really be a factor - we should be playing for fun and the challenge, not grinding for a reward - but the current xp awarded is much too low. Make it 7000+ and we’ll be talking. After all, I can make 9000xp in an average Spartan Ops matchmaking game with Fast Track.
We need campaign scoring like we had in Reach to return, it meant that you didn’t have to play in MM for credits. Now all we have is SpOps (which is kinda better than Reach’s Rocketfight). Also online Co-op campaign was cool, but we would need a LASO difficulty to complete these challenges.
@WaffleFairy937: Campaign commendation would be a great idea and add loads of replay value.
Campaign scoring + challenge completion + commendation XP + LASO rewards = a lot of frustration but totally worth it.
When I have time, I’ll probably hit the recruiting threads to set up a LASO challenge. But until then I don’t see me doing the campaign challenges.
I love the campaign, so I tend to take any possible excuse to replay it.
SR130 long ago and even while leveling it was a waste of time, the time wasnt worth the exp.
Ive done everyone one so far.
Of course not. They give you only a few thousand credits for challenges that sometimes take twice as long as a multiplayer match. Very few campaign challenges are worth the time.
> Ive done everyone one so far.
Haha. You did “everyone” so far. Even dudes? that’s messed up.
But back to the post, I did them all except for this week. Last week’s sucked, because it took me 4 plasma charged shots just to knock down their shield. Then when this week’s said to do the same thing but on the second level I said screw that. I wish they would reward more experience for them, but I mostly do them to say I’ve completed the challenge. It’s fun to see when I’ve completed a ton more challenges than those with a higher SR than me.
Hell no.
Campaign was trash, so I try and avoid replaying such a disaster filled vehicle gimmick.
343I is really bad about determining what the reward should be for the effort you put in, and that doesn’t just apply to challenges but I digress.
I can spend hours trying to beat the hardest campaign challenge for 6117xp.
Or I could use fast track, play a single match of Spartan Ops for ten minutes, and get 9100xp.
I think I’ll stick with the latter.
Do they even put any thought into it when they decide what to reward players?
Another example is getting the same xp as two CTF matches by winning 45 of them. Seriously?
