For the love of Halo, please remove oddly specific challenges. One challenge that drives me mad is the return your flag three times challenge. I have to actively allow the enemy team grab my flag, kill them, and pray that I can return it. Not to mention that some people, including me, would resort to alt. F4-ing or closing the game every time they don’t load into a capture the flag mode.
Same goes for other challenges.
Need an oddball? Just close the game until you match into an oddball game.
Need to capture a zone? Close the game until you match into a zones game.
I’m probably ranting and am mad over nothing, but this sucks right now. I’ve gotten three slayer games back to back.

Some of the top worst ones ever:
Win 3 CTF matches in Ranked
Destroy 3 enemy Scorpions
Destroy 3 enemy Wraiths
Kill 3 enemies with the oddball
Get 5 kills with the turret (on Deadlock)
Get 5 kills with the turret (on Fragmentation)
End 5 killing sprees in Fiesta
Save an ally from near death at a far away distance 3 times
Kill 10 enemies with the Ravager
Get 15 kills with the Stalker Rifle in Tactical Slayer
I’m sure there are more, but these were awful, because you’re extremely unlikely to get them done with the mode or map RNG, and likelihood of even achieving them. The Scorpion/Wraith ones taking days to get one to spawn before the spawn rate and timer was increased, since after hours, you finally see one, and someone else destroys it, time runs out, or the enemy hops out before it explodes.
343 makes horrible challenges that they definitely never play test first before adding them, likely to sell more skips

Would be fine if it could be completed in Ranked, QP, or BTB.
Best part was that these were only in the game for the 1st week or 2 in November and tanks were rarer than unicorns.
Don’t you love it when your friendly-neighborhood ball carrier has a death wish?
It asks for 3 Shade Turret kills. Before Inifinite, I didn’t think I had 3 shade turret kills LIFETIME in ANY halo. And they want me to get 3 in a week???
Actually not the bad. Specifically it says to get kills with the Chaingun. Fragmentation is the only map that has them, but you can use the warthog turret as well. So this can be done on Behemoth and Fiesta. Also the chaingun shreds in this game and is super good for camping the flag.
This one is so freaking arbitrary it’s insane. First I need my ally to get his butt kicked (bad), then I have to save him (good), but not too quickly since he needs to be "in danger (shields cracked I guess), then I have to be an unspecified distance away (bad).
Just got one with a sidekick today on recharge, but can never seem to get one in BTB while using a sniper.
Might actually be possible in S2.
Didn’t see this one during Tac Ops, but not being able to choose a mode is the main issue here.
…i personaly don’t mind the very specific challenges. be it modes or weapons… what i do mind however is that fact that inorder to get said challenges is through RNG… i don’t wish for these challenges to be removed, they do offer a nice challenge. what i do want removed is the entire RNG aspec of getting a gamemode. like can we please just have a good way to choose what map and modes we want? like to heck with the veeto system, TF2 gave the best way for players to choose MULTIPLE modes and maps for said modes that they wanted… why cant we have that perfect system?
