Lets make some Weekly Challenges in Halo XI a little more… interesting. Most challenges simply require you to kill a certain number of enemies Spartan Ops, Firefight, or Matchmaking; sometimes through assassination, sometimes with certain weapons (precision, automatic, sidearm) or win games in a certain gametype or another. It gets to be a bit repetitive.
“Special Challenges” would be more like Achievements in nature; requiring you to fulfill more unique requirements in exchange for a huge payout. You would have 4-5 each week in addition to normal challenges. Here’s a few examples:
"Back to Basics" (+15,000 XP)
-Earn the highest score in a game of Infinity Slayer without any Armor Abilities or Armor Mods.
"Vidmaster’s Challenge: Showtime" (+20,000 XP)
-Complete an entire episode of Spartan Ops on Legendary, with Iron activated.
"2 Elite 2 Cheat" (+50,000 XP)
-Earn over 1,000,000 points in Firefight Classic without using custom settings.
"You’re Doing it Wrong…" (+10,000 XP)
-Complete Mission 5 of the Campaign while flying a Pelican.*
"Maybe Next Time" (+10,000 XP)
-In any game mode, boarded the same vehicle within 10 seconds after being boarded.
The idea is that this kind of challenge would be fun to tackle even AFTER you hit the Max Rank, and no longer need to earn XP. Get it?
*In case you don’t know, there’s a glitch on mission 5 “Reclaimer” of the Halo 4 campaign that lets you drive a Pelican; I merely using this an example, as I don’t think it’s actually possible to complete that mission using the Pelican…
