I’ve been playing FireFight Doubles all day in order to complete the weekly challenges. Several time throughout the day I’ve been creating the same challenge(s) over and over. But for some reason all the kills and medals I get per match don’t seem to count towards the custom challenge(s).
Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m assuming at this point that playing FireFight Doubles does not count towards Custom Challenges. Only Score Attack and FireFight Arcade does. Now if this a mistake I ASK 343 to look into it for me and help correct that error.
I’m going to trying again right now. I will create the same challenges and begin to play some FireFight Doubles Matches.
Here are the specs to my custom challenges:
All Dead
1000 kills
Matchmaking FireFight
3 Hour Time Limit
10,000 cR Payout
All Medals
850 medals
Matchmaking FireFight
3 Hour Time Limit
10,000 cR Payout
NOTE: I have extended the time limit few times to 6-12 hours but the cR payout seem to be less then 3 hour limit so by default I’ve been keeping them at 3 hour time limit.
If someone is host and quits out of the match, then you can “lose” the data for custom challenges. (Custom challenges are only entered into the challenge till AFTER a game ends, unlike regular challenges.)
Plus doing the FF challenges goes faster in Arcadefight. 4 times the players equals killing twice as fast. (usually)
You are not in Offline mode are you. I have noticed that CCs dont seem to count when you are in offline mode. So if like me you are trying to hide from an annoying friend that spams you with invites everytime you play FF custom challenges dont seem to work.
Extra note.Just looked at your game stats and you had a guest in for a heap of those double games that got very few kills. You werent guest AFKing and trying to hide in offline mode to avoid banhammer detection i hope.

No I’m always showing online when I’m connected to xbox live via console. My profile settings are set to where only my friends can see me online. As for my stats, I just play FF Doubles w/ a guest controller. I mainly use the guest controller to kill enemy vehicles and annoying enemies like jackal w/ precision weapons. Other than that I get all the kills w/ my main account. I’ve found out that by play like this I can earn more cR and avoid having my commendations maxed out, which I don’t like to do. And, I also keep track of each match I play in Reach personally since I started playing this game because I’ve noticed that I haven’t been receiving kills, credits, medals, commendations, among other things some times.
I just completed 4 matches in firefight doubles by my count the total for all 4 games I have 1215 kills and 674 medals. However the custom challenges I created before playing these 4 matches show that I only have 41/1000 kills for “All Dead” and 9/850 medals for “All Medals”. Why? I should have completed the “All Dead” custom challenge and should almost be finished with “All Medals” custom challenge.
The problem is your guest account. Custom challenges in FF Doubles does not work properly using a guest account. Somewhere in these forums there are some replies/threads talking about what you are experiencing. Some call it a bug/glitch with the custom challenges, but more than likely 343 set it up that way on purpose, since the main person going into FF doubles with an afk guest account ends up with all the kills. Basically what you are seeing when you view the kills/medals after the match in custom challenges are the guests. Try playing FF doubles with another player and not a guest and you will get your kills/medals.
PS be very carefull using that guest account in FF doubles and getting little to no kills, as the banhammer can see that as afking.

It is not just FF Doubles, it is everywhere, the guest progress will always count instead of the normal users.

riffmaster drop your headshots to 400 in 3hrs as it will net 10000

Nice, I did not know that number dropped! I haven’t messed around with the numbers in a while. Thanks for the heads-up! (pun intended)

Just did a test and the exact number of Headshots is 393.
