Not if your k/d is good while you’re on the move. Sure, you can never know how they play but some people are just that good.

Right but that’s the problem, they’re saying challenges are more important than the objective. Which it isn’t.
Again like I’ve said in a different comment, I have been able to complete all my weekly challenges while also playing the objective.
The problem is not that they want to get their challenges done, it’s that they’re choosing to actively ignore the objective in favour of challenges.
Regardless of how you view challenges versus objective you can and should still try and do the objective. Your challenges will follow with you. Every time.

Focusing on the objective will only end the game sooner and give them less time to complete the challenge that may be a weapon spawn on the map. And that objective match win is 0 bonus experience, when the challenge can be up to 300 bonus experience. It’s not hard to see why they focus on the challenge instead.

Except that’s a completely invalid mindset. They’re not slowing down the match by ignoring the objective, they’re doing the exact opposite. They’re handing the enemy team a win which means they can score much faster than they normally would when playing against a full team actively working against them.
It’s not hard to see why playing the objective would work in their favour.

It’s also not hard to see that doing anything to do with the objective if the challenge isn’t relevant to it might lead to a missed weapon spawn grab. When people only have so much time to play their game, and they want to level up their BP, it leads to focusing on that over the objective. Just like how you like to focus on ranking up your MMR.

I agree with the OP since I prefer to play ranked and hate to see my mmr plummet after an embarrassing loss. But atm this seems to be a by product of the challenge based xp system they’ve set up. It’s frustrating that’s for sure.

There’s no need for people to choose ranked over quick play to complete challenges unless it’s maybe a BR challenge, but still BR spawns on most maps. On top of that, they’re tanking their own rank. It really wouldn’t make sense unless they both want to smurf and chase challenges.

They should change the objective related challenges to a General one
E. G.
Get 5 or 10 points for playing the objective (this should be the challenge)
Then you will get
Capture the flag 1 point
hold the oddball x seconds 1 point
Kill 4 or 8 enemies in Showdown 1 point.
Stronghold,…
Stockpile…

Honestly, the easiest fix would probably to just remove the PvP requirements altogether. That way you can just do it in PvE if your teammates are being less that helpful in PvP

I only want to play slayer too. So until there is a slayer only playlist I won’t even install Halo Infinite. If you’re willing to play the objective games you need to play the objective too.
Well, the playerbase just speaks for itself. Plenty of people need a goal. That goal is currently only doing challenges (besides Ranked). Since there’s no stats (besides going to halotracker) in the game. The goal isn’t necessarily to win but to do something specific like with a weapon or so.
Just like me, I don’t care about winning currently (unless it’s a challenge or I play Ranked). I can’t showcase my wins in-game in any way (which I’d love to be able to) so I don’t care about it.
Also PS, one condition in Ranked for winning doesn’t grant you MMR in a 3-round Oddball match. It was proven by someone here on the forums previously.
Challenges should just be possible to complete anywhere, kinda like TC eventually done it with Gears 5.

The challenge system was a horrible idea for progression on top of a horrible playlist selection, I honestly don’t blame people not playing the objective.
Take it up with 343.

That’s a lame excuse my man, quite the selfish one aswel, we all have the bear this for it to be added later on, you are literally ruining it for others that are actually having fun in this game
