Is 343 drunk? Ultimate Challenge

The team which is responsible for the challenge system was again really creative.
If RNGESUS is behind you or you donate enough money for swaps so that 343 can buy a lunch and not starve, you as an average player who plays 2 hours a day have completed the weekly challenges at the end of the week or even next week a few days before the reset.
But that’s not it yet, there is still the Ultimate Challenge coming, what will it be, get 5 massacres, kill 50 players, win 5 ranked games? All doable in a few days.

Nooooo, 343 came up with the glorious idea of a creavtive super duper challenge that we haven’t seen in years.
Win 17 PVP games, first of all, where does 17 come from? doesn’t 343 have it with even numbers?
The funny thing is, players don’t see in advance what ultimate challenge they will end up with, unless they check waypoint posts where other players complain about it.
So maybe you don’t plan enough time, if you have it at all.
And all this for an emblem.

Please please, remove the challenges completely or do it right.
Stop giving out hard challenges to hope that enough swaps will be bought.
Have you ever noticed that every 2 games you get a certain game mode, but it is not needed at the moment. But as soon as a challenge that has to do with the mode, then it suddenly disappears from the screen for 5 hours, and when it then comes, then you do not finish the challenge because your own team was too bad or because the connection breaks.

Stop with the RNG crap, that players have different difficulty levels in the challenges, some have to spend money and some don’t.

It’s a shame what halo has become. I go back to Halo 3 and Halo Reach, the last good games that happened to not be made by you guys.

Challenge swaps should really be challenge skips. I mean the whole point of using one is for the weekly Ultimate (which should NOT be time locked, but that’s another matter). It’s barely useful for leveling up. And you can’t skip the Ultimate anyway. So yeah instead of an RNG mess it should just allow us to skip hardass challenges on our way to the weekly.

or they should make it so that you can choose a challenge. Sometimes i get a much more dificult challenge after i used it.
you should also get at least one free swap per week.
What about when the Battlepass is completed, then you get no more swaps or what?

You can purchase two swaps bundled with two (now entirely pointless) xp boosts for I think $2.

Unfortunately the way the challenge system is structured, 343 wants you to play infinite 10+ hours a week to finish all the challenges. They also want people to use challenge swaps. Winning 17 games is crazy for a single challenge that you can’t progress to until the very end.

I gotta be honest, I ain’t feeling the fomo on this emblem anyway.
