I cant think of anything more sad than playing a game only to complete challenges so you can get some poxy armour and play dress up with your fictional character! If your not playing a game cause you simply just enjoy playing it then why play at all?!

Some play for fun, others play to look cool.
Yeah, that is really annoying to do all these attrition challenges again. But with that said, I don’t like this week’s reward. Already completed the Battle Pass and just play for fun this week.
We still don’t know what will happen with the XP we earn after we completed the BP?
You had 30 matches in a row which were not oddball?
It sounds outlandish and improbable but given I had 15 matches straight in BTB with not Stronghold or CTF, when I had two different challenges requiring either of them, I don’t see why someone wouldn’t get oddball for how many matches your played.
Right?

This is why challenges just need to be completely scrapped. It’s not having a positive effect on the game-play.

I don’t drink that, just water thanks (and alcohol because that’s different 
)
I do but use that to get vouchers etc
God no, like you say I wouldn’t pay for them and blows my mind that people do.
I actually agree with you.
I want to play this game for fun. I want to unlock things through skill not stupid challenges.
I don’t enjoy the game a great deal because of all the bugs but I like to play the latest version of Halo and stay current with metas/strats/skill jumps etc so stick around in the hope of everything will be fixed and this will be the best Halo yet (it definitely has the potential to).
In the meantime I try to smash out the challenges asap, usually takes 4 hours, then I can get back to playing what I like to play. This post was supposed to highlight that 343 seem to deliberately want to stop people from doing that.
If the challenges were slightly more generic, such as instead of ‘complete oddball matches’, they were ‘complete quickplay matches’, I wouldn’t have a problem.
If in the events they want to try to make me play a new gametype, then that is fine, same as this does and tenrai, because the gametype is guaranteed to come up and it makes you at least try the gametype and they’ll probably be able to tell of you like it and if they should include it permanently and it’s not every week.
I do agree, I want a complete overhaul, but in the meantime, just stop making me pray for oddball.

Exact same thing happened to me dude, see my post ‘challenge system got me banned’
The current challenge system is a joke.
Be careful before all the 343 nut lickers jump down your throat with thier holier than thou attitude for leaving quickplay matches…

It would be nice if the swaps have you a choice of three new challenges to pick from rather than random possibly worse one

Great news is the nuts are getting kicked by less and less people.
Mostly the low standard players are the few left. But alot of people are starting to catch on to their games.
Like for me I noticed how Stingey they were when we got only 10 default colors and they paywalled the other 50 default colors we had in Halo 5.
Like dang they couldn’t even just let us grind for default colors. Maybe they just didn’t have actual ideas for coatings and an on recycling the same 50 default colors.
Ots why they lock the coatings down to each core weapon and vehicle. So they can resell us the same stuff. Without having to put much creativity into it.

I could get on board with that.

Honestly the challneges system would have been better in a PVE mode like firefight , get X amount of kills with x weapon or kill this many Grunts this many Elites of this rank.
And the matchmaking challenges should have just been simple as Get 100 kills in any Slayer gamemode, get 50 kills in any Objective gamemode… Get 10 assist in any gamemode.
This way your not compartmentalize to a specific game mode rather a genre of gamemode Objective could be capture the flag, Strongholds etc… Slayer gamemode could be FFA, Attrition, Fiesta, so on and so forth.
But the whole Play X amount of ODD ball seems way to specific and designed to purposely push players to the store for more swaps.
To me every aspect of this game is designed to push you to the store. Thus why the progression is so heavily tied to the challenge system and why no Other ranking system has been included. They want us to be hyper focused on the challenges only. And specifically Taylor them to be very nit picked

I agree mostly,
It is inconvenient that how rare it is to find a specific game type that you need for a challenge.
Something needs to be done about that. I can’t see them making a specific objective it’s own playlist though as it may effect player count and search times.
Although on challenges, there is no possible way known that any player will enjoy every single challenge they are given.
That is what the challenge swaps are for.
The challenges can not be possibly catered or personalised to individual players, they have to somehow apply to ALL players and that is going to mean we will get challenges we don’t like.
We all have our preferences.
Thinly veiled shaming of what someone else enjoy?
I’m fairly certain the Spartan Dressup is part of the game, part of what you play.
