I don’t have much more hair to pull out! I’d rather complete 100 other matches than try to win 25 more competitive games.

Fr, last season I had to wait until the last 2 weeks because of the low player base. Not to mention when I did get in a match, the god-awful rank system. I’d go up against rank 20’s when I was rank 1.
Just don’t do that challenge. I agree, competitive’s matchmaking sucks, but is 4 season points really going to matter that much?

Agreed, I’m tired of people from my team leaving because we play against clans or full party teams, also it’s hard to find a simple match…
At least it’s just win matches and not get to a certain rank. Getting 25 wins in ranked in an entire season which is like 2-3 months if not longer isn’t too tough.

I’m my own worst enemy unfortunately. I’ll know that unfinished challenge is sitting there. Taunting me.

The win 25 is 1 of 2 requirements to get the Sword&Board back accessory
I completely agree. Putting a cosmetic unlock behind a competitive challenge is dumb. I stopped playing ranked years ago because the frustration and pure rage just is not worth it and I hate being forced to play it in order to get an item I want.
I managed to finish it today at least by purely solo queuing H3. Took 48 games to get 25 wins, and 0 fun was had. A lot of matches started 1 or 2 man down on my team, afk players everywhere, team killers everywhere, quitters nearly every game. Half the time I felt like I was playing with people that never played before going up against H3 vets, other half of the time my team felt like vets stomping people that have never played a game before. Every game that had spotty hit detection made me want to snap a controller, would go from games that felt like lan with easy 4-5 shot kills then the next felt like I was shooting headshot immune demigods. Xbox hard crashed twice. Absolutely awful challenge, my controller is lucky to still be intact.
Comp playerbase in EU (i’m guessing everything non US) is low and the wait times are annoying. Maybe they’ll learn next season.
I was playing Halo: Combat Evolved Hardcore Doubles last night and one match my team mate went -31, scoring only one kill, and betrayed me twice! I wouldn’t mind any of that if the challenge was to just play 25 Competitive games. If anyone wants to team-up to get the challenge done then I’m game.

I don’t enjoy it as well because ranked is more try hard at times, but I recommend H4 squad slayer. It’s not as sweaty and it is a bit more chill. Also try to group up to make it easier for yourself.
Exactly. Now the games are filled with people who just sit there afk hoping the other members carry them to the win and that’s if you can even get a game where the majority of players don’t leave as soon as the game starts.

Sure. Then don’t have specific season items behind that comp challenge wall.

Completely forgot about the Sword and Board challenge.
I’ll echo what’s been said but at least it is Wins and not hit a specific rank.
Thankfully the Exchange will allow us to unlock things that we missed.
Starting now I wouldn’t think it would be too hard to get 25 wins in ranked over 2 months. I already have quite a bit but it is unfortunate that a lower player base will negatively impact this challenge. Best bet is to start now while people are working for it, and maybe next season a new version of the challenge will be added.
Since the ranks are broken I don’t think unlocks should be attached to achieving a certain rank. Wins though? That’s fine. I got it in like a day. It’s frusturating for sure, but at least you can make progress without being sent back because of the usual mcc…stuff.

Still, it is a real shame that anyone who doesn’t play online, either because they can’t or they don’t want to, will be unable to get the Sword and Board back accessory, an item that locked behind not just online matchmaking, but Ranked, even though it would have made far more sense for it to be unlocked through something campaign related. Instead, the item requiring campaign/firefight activities is…an animated visor! How wonderful…

Population is low everywhere. A lot of people don’t seem to realize this game is basically dead and have unrealistic expectations for ranked.
even at the peakest of peak times there will barely be 20k players on worldwide, all of which is split between PvE modes, all social match configurations, all ranked playlists and customs.
there is no ranking system that would work properly with such a low pop. People are asking for something (fixed ranking system) that is essentially impossible.

Exactly. A better ranking system would be awesome (-Yoink- 1-50) but it won’t change the fact that the game is too underpopulated. The halo 4,invasion, and one of the Halo 3 playlists need to be cut completely to atleast maintain some level of population consistency across the playlists.
