Make it so all weekly challenges are purely “Play this many game modes” every week with being able to play whatever game mode we want or “achieve this many kills in any game mode”
So we can purely play for fun and enjoy the game wanting to play more instead of feel like its a weekly dreadful chore that make us want to play far less to the point of only wanting to do the weekly then be done with it. and dread playing infinite
Would have to change the name from Weekly Challenge to Weekly Check box though. Challenges are generally there to take people out of their comfort zones, not tell them to stay in them lol.
Lol idiots always hitting “miss the point” or “Bait” when they don’t want to accept truth.
challenges should be left to events only
but then they can’t sale challenge swaps
Going slightly beyond that, have a progression system outside of the battle passes.
343 said they were “taking their time on this, we want to get it right” when… how hard can it be?? To just set up a series of ranks, with appropriate amounts of XP between them, and slap different titles and icons on each one. Everyone would probably be happy enough if they did the lazy thing and just copied MCC’s progression
343 made the entire multiplayer rely solely on completing Challenges. Because of this, they have had to dumb down the challenge difficulty so much that it feels almost pointless to complete these anymore. I mean, they aren’t truly pointless because it’s the only way to progress in anything in the multiplayer but yet, challenges feel hollow and meaningless to me.
If we had a progression system to naturally allow us to progress in Events, and Battle Passes… 343 wouldn’t need to dumb down all of the challenges. Challenges instead could have been used as secondary multipliers to add more XP to the grind towards a Battle Pass/Event or whatever.
It was such a missed opportunity here in Infinite. 343 could have improved upon Halo’s system from previous games but instead they decided to change it all up, as usual.
The easiest fix would be to make it to where you could progress the weekly challenge separate from the rest of the challenges. With a maxed BP and what is now going to be a 10 month season, there is no point to completing regular challenges other than to gain access to the weekly ultimate. They reward no XP, we can’t level beyond the BP… they just serve as an inconvenience.
Hell, they could even make the weekly ultimate more difficult to compensate for this. I’m sure many wouldn’t mind.
I’ve been suggesting this exact change on the forum since the day this game launched. They completely botched the execution of this challenge system, everyone knows it, and yet they will do little to change it
343’s idea for a challenge is giving us a to do list.
I like the cumulative score ones.
Just make the weekly challenge a huge total score to get.
Then you can earn score in whatever games you like.
Add small weightings for;
I enjoy this idea and I don’t enjoy this idea.
Cycling people through various playlists is a good idea and that’s why challenges are good because you’ve got to play specific game modes/types.
The trick is to attract them to the play list for the right reasons.
So they play properly and contribute.
Not just turn up and AFK etc. Ruining everyone else’s fun.
That’s why I think weightings would work better. Just enough to reward people to move around and play properly. But not enough that they would feel compelled to do something they really, truely, hated.
If all you want to do is play BTB with friends - then you can still earn enough score for the week… Just slower.
The main weightings should be on the win. eg. 1.5x
But if you had a bonus of 1.1x for each new playlist per day that would encourage those who like to move around to keep moving around.
Events 1.25x to really encourage people. Plus specific rewards to earn.
I just want to 343/Microsoft to fix the mechanics on the game “BEFORE” they add any more stuff to the game!
Peace! 
it becomes a challenge if youre also required to perform well in the match to get the most optimal xp for your time. thats why match performance xp will make the game more fun and balanced.
Which leaves more room for cosmetic rewards
I agree that there should not be challenges that make you play game modes you don’t like (outside of events and ult). But I disagree that all the challenges should be the same “complete game.” As is, the challenges in this game are already watered down and take almost zero effort to complete. There should be a healthy mix of play game, get kills, get melee kills, get headshots, get wins, get assists, and get grenade kills each week.
You can do this now. Nobody is really forcing you to unlock all the armor or the weekly rewards.
@FathomKnight Pretty sure i did not miss the point. Pretty sure you actually care about chasing armor and ranks more than “purely play for fun”. If you want to play purely for fun, nothing is stopping you other than the game’s spaghetti netcode. Pretty sure your whole point is “make challenges even more brain dead easy” because I lack the skill or time to get them done every week. It’s probably the time because, honest to god, this game’s “challenges” are not challenging in anyway.
I kinda hope they reduce the number of challenges, or at the very least, make all 20 active at once instead of 4 at a time. It would certainly allow people to pick and choose how they complete them and which challenges to pursue at any given time would make the process that much less tedious.
Cut all live service parts of the game until they fix the multiplayer.
Or they can just copy MCC challenges. You work on all of them at the same time (not 3 or 4 at a time), you give more daily challenges and you give us monthly challenges.
I’m still waiting for Spartan ranks. Doubt it’ll happen. “Match xp beta.” What the hell does that even mean? I’m guessing towards the regular battle pass…
Am I crazy or old or something? I don’tcare at all about anything in the battlepasses. I’d rather have a Spartan rank and grind for a meaningless symbol or number next to my name like the good ol days.
I know that sounds odd, but I just don’t see the appeal of making Spartans look cool if I can’t actually see my character in game.
