Had to give up on this week's ultimate

Took me five days to finish most of the challenges before the ultimate, and I ended up stuck on the last “Kill enemy spartans defending their zone”, forcing me to quit games on the last day for a chance of playing strongholds, and the enemy spartans, for obvious reasons, did not stay in their zones for the victory condition. Trying this in the games current state literally gave me a headache and ulcer; trying to go for the weekly like this, week after week, will be bad for my physical and mental health.
343 are probably aware of the community’s views on the current challenge system, but I felt like I had to share this when 343 touted not having challenges being “unhealthy” to play.

This is only going to get worse when the “biggest Halo campaign ever” drops in a few days. Like do I spends hours upon hours grinding challenges or do I play campaign. I just hope the weekly item reward is lame next week so I can just ignore MP and beat up space monkeys.

Oh yeah total control has many sitting ducks.

Yeah that’s a terrible final challenge though. Mine was win 17 games.

I feel your pain my friend, I made a detailed post specifically explaining this if you’d like to read!

Challenges should be things that can be universally unlocked no matter what playlist you choose to focus

Get x Kills
Get x Assists
Get x Grenade kills
Doubles
Killing sprees
Melees
Mark assists
AR/BR or Pistol Kills ( These guns are most accessible due to spawning with them)

This solution is the equivalent of them making these playlists lol forcing ppl to play stuff they may not want to play at all just for a small cosmetic reward lol

When people see my nameplate for 2 seconds during the pre-game player intros…I just know that the days of grinding were worth it all.
