Last week we all struggled to get CTF in ranked. One of my challenges is Weekly Challenge (complete an Oddball match) . It’s seemingly dissapeared from Quick Play. All I’m getting is Stronghold, Slayer and CTF. After playing for several hours since the new weekly dropped. Anyone else having this problem?
It’s as if it’s been taken out of rotation for me because i need to complete it for a challenge.
I’m cautious this could be a thing, but also it’s likely to just be gamblers fallacy.
Sometimes game modes do not come up for ages. I really wanted to play CTF yesterday (didn’t have any challenges) and only got it once in about 15 games of CTF.
I’d be curious to know how the maps and game modes are determined. It loads the map before the players so I wonder if it randomizes it based on the maps you’ve played and then looks at the game modes that all of the players who get that map have played recently.
Or it’s completely random.
EDIT - maybe it loads the mode then the map? I have no idea
I’m curious too - is it completely random, even distribution between all maps and modes? Or is it somehow weighted against map or game mode?
If you are currently set to clear Oddball, it will never spawn. Game’s rigged I tell ya.
I think it would be intereting to see how they weigh it against eight different people and the maps/modes they just played so they don’t get the same thing back to back.
Absolutely not
I only got oddball and slayer in quick play yesterday - no strongholds.
The reason? I had two active strongholds challenges.
Definitely something shady going on with these challenges.
In the end I gave in and used two challenge swaps to get rid of them, just as 343 were hoping I would I guess
That’s the problem though. I don’t want to waste challenge swaps on a game type that should just rotate as normal. It make me very suspicious.
I’m sad to say that after playing for most of the afternoon/night yeaterday and a good few hours this morning I had to use a swap.
I am no conspiracy theorist but I have noticed this too when playing QP…. I only played the challenges for XP to get to 100 and when an objective challenge was up it would take a large number of QP games before the specific game mode came up, much longer odds than 25 %…. you will never be able to prove 343 is manipulating the game mode but it sure seemed awfully fishy….
It was the same with last week’s CTF ultimate.
