It seems that as of now 343 can only make minor tweaks to thier challenges. Hopefully we’ll get a better system in the future. But for now I’d like to suggest 2 things.
- They be based on medals or kills with weapons
- They have multiple requirement options to complete. And the player isnt streamlined into playing one way.
For instance.
As of this writing I’m struggling with the splattering 10 opponents. This challenge could easily be splatter, stick with grenade, or skewer “X” number of opponents. Enabling us to play how we see fut under the current un ideal system. Or splatter and assist the gunner of “x” kills
A CQB challenge could encompass the bulldog, sword, hammer, melee
Snipe challenge encompasses headshots and guardian angel medals making it possible to earn two Mark’s for 1 kill.
You also get medals for capturing flags and protecting flag carriers.
Let the guy who just cant seem to grab the flag first but always protects them feel like they are being rewarded

That sounds good, but they should really just make challenge swaps free and let them change any challenge.

I agree. It should be like pandora where you get so many skips. I get 343 has to design it a way for ms to make that free2play loot. Maybe one challenge swap a day that doesnt accumulate. Then take it out of the future battlepasses entirely. If peeps want to skip more then they can pay for an extra swap. Meanwhile implement the above challenge criteria and it should be golden

3 challenge swaps a day that don’t accumulate, a multi-tier challenge system and modified challenges might be okay.
Most of their money should be coming from the Battle Pass and armors in the shop though.
Challenge swaps and XP boosts are just awful.

I thought of the Achilles armor grind from halo 5 when I posted this. Most requirements had multiple options to complete them that didnt force you to play a certain way. No one should ever be force into a vehicle because that would force people into btb. But folks who like to drive/ride in vehicles should be able to level up playing that way. By making a challenge splatter and stick grenade medals for example. It allows both types of players to complete the challenge. 343 should be thinking along these lines when designing new challenges.

That’s why in MCC we have a Challenge which is called “Earn 10 Objective Medals” instead of “Score with the Flag”
They can change it to “Complete an Objective game mode” instead of “Complete x CTF matches”
MCC still does have a complete CTF match challenge, but it’s tied together with King of the Hill so either one of those game modes count to completion.
