Wins don’t happen solo.
One challenge could take all day.

Better play with a team.

Nah. These “win challenges” are arguably the only challenges left in the game that require any amount of skill.

I like them because its the only thing that encourages players to win. the ranked playlist doesnt even encourage people to win so we need something
Win challenges and point accumulation challenges are fine. It takes actual effort, and I’ve seen my fair share of AFK people which I assume are probably just people who are playing ‘Complete x playlist’ type so they just throw the game for the rest of the team.

Thats an issue too. I think they should remove the challenge that encourages going AFK instead of the one that encourages winning
At this point they should just ditch the challenges system. Most people just want to play the game and get rewarded for it, not have to jump through hoops like circus animals.
“Oh look you played some matches. Here’s some points you can exchange for some cosmetics.” It’s not that hard.
Wouldn’t be a challenge if it were easy…

To be fair. Most of the “challenges” are already brain dead easy.

You shouldn’t call people crap not everyone can be as good as everybody else everyone has certain limits they can surpass and certain limits they can’t
Who are you, the language police? According to the OP he loses 90% of his matches because other people get to play with their friends. In reality, the OP is #1 reason why the OP keeps losing. OP needs a wake up call to stop blaming everything else and admit he’s the issue before he gets better.
TL:DR Nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade and reporting truthful comments doesn’t help either.

doesnt matter if youre crap. anyone can win when matchmaking is working. their real issue is the dodgy matchmaking system and low population.

Playing with a team definately helps with the win challenge but after a few matches shouldn’t be too hard. I wish it were easier to hook up with players to form teams. The recruitment forum doesn’t seem to get a whole lot of use. With a team you get to pick at least you have some say as to what your teammates might do.
I think the more annoying versions of these challenges are the win X amount of games in X game mode. If we could just have one challenge that says “Win a match in any game mode” per week, I think that would be nice.
Eh. Challenges aren’t meant to take skill though. They are meant to progress the BP. Which shouldn’t be gated to anyone. Halo by and large has always been a game geared towards fun and casual play.
If you want something that takes skill, chase ranked matches and go for a high onyx.
The only issue I have with the win condition challenges are that if they are the only challenges you have remaining, or are for a specific playlist; you can just have a bad streak and spend hours making zero progress towards completion.
As a whole, I’ve always been against challenges that coerce players to play in a way that they would rather not. Playlist/gametype specific challenges especially.
Winning isn’t hard if you’re solo, but it takes dedication and use of the ping system. Not always but even if you’re the only one using it, It will help.
Pinging and maybe try going into academy and practice pop strafing, where you crouch and strafe.
Work on sliding or jumping or slide jumping corners, nading pits and forcing your enemies into ally hands.
These really are the only challenges left the others are just a matter of time and playing. EVENTUALLY you will get that mangler/heatwave/ pistol kills.
Sorry bud but win challenges are going nowhere

It’s not that bad, it’s just tedious sometimes. I did all challenges this week in one sitting 
I enjoy the wins. It’s just ironic how I can get win after win until I’m required to win, then it becomes the most difficult challenge.
Says who?
Not completing a challenge or two a week will not keep people from finishing the BP, which does not have an expiration period btw.
I agree. So go for the fun and causal gaming. But let’s not act like reaching lvl 100 on a BP makes the game more fun, especially if you make yourself play game modes you hate to get there.
The community and 343i? They’ve already removed several challenges for “being too difficult.” Not that I’m saying winning a match is difficult, but that’s the general narrative at this point.
Perhaps not while we are in extended BP mode. You can complete the BP without completing a single challenge at the moment. That won’t be a thing once they get on track with 3 month long challenges. However, this approach is beneficial to time gated events too. Where there challenges are blocked by having to complete others first.
It doesn’t make the game more fun, no. We are in agreement there. But having challenges that directly detract from what you would consider fun only hurts the game further.
