THERE. IS. NO. ODDBALL. PLAYLIST.
The only thing this challenge does is frustrate players and incentivise quitting non Oddball matches.
Same goes for challenges related to CtF and Strongholds.
Now challenges like “play 1 Oddball match” is borderline okay. But WIN 2 Oddball challenges can end up in 20 frustrating matches very easily.
When i think they already took those challenges out because last week i had none of those, this week i got 5: “win oddball matches” “win strongholds matches” “return your flag”.
Sigh…
I was on for 3 hours yesterday. Need to return my flag 10 times. Zero CTF games.
“Working as intended”
-343 probably
And they wonder why people are constantly quitting out of matches.
I would instead prefer to see a system similar to the one seen in MCC where the player can choose to search games that fulfills certain constraints like being specfic gamemodes or team sizes instead of having a playlist based system where the player can only search for game within one playlist at any time.
Oooooorr.
Just have this.
“Get 50 kills”
“Get 50 assists”
“Win 10 matches”
“Complete 10 matches”
“Get 25 kills with the AR”
ect ect
huge agree.
I can’t believe this wasn’t addressed like day one… I think they feel like things like this will retain players (who play a few matches to get to the challenge they want,) but they forget that in the long term this just turns people off.
I agree 110% with this. Also the win ranked Ctf/strongholds/oddball challenges need to go from ultimate challenges and regular challenges. Same with Total control/stockpile win challenges. I don’t have time to go through all the other potential game modes for a stupid challenge.
As much as I love objective-based gms in Halo: CTF, Oddball, etc. I’m not playing this game as frequent because of 343’s piss-poor attempt at their new engine; the desync is still bad.
Don’t expect this kind of basic common sense logical thinking when they have challenge swaps available for sale in the store.
Yeah, those are great too. Even though I rather have the challenge “win 2 quickplay matches” than “win 10 matches”. 
You know, this whole challenge system wouldn’t even be that bad if more than 4 challenges were open for completion. Preferably all challenges would be open all the time.
That way it is pretty doable to win 2 Oddball matches.
I mean, win 2 quickplay matches is still telling you what game modes to play. 
Yes. But it’s not the worst thing in the world. Oddball doesn’t have it’s own playlist, that’s why the example I gave is a horrible challenge. But quickplay is at least a playlist.
Sure I would prefer either for all 25 challenges to be open all the time, or have no challenge system at all. Or for there to be just one big weekly challenge:
But since that is never going to happen, I prefer for the short term to be just for all the horrible challenges to get removed.
