i was gonna ignore it, but i got extremely lucky with my 4rth game. Completed the back smack, getting separated killing sprees, stopping a spree , 10 side kick kills, and completing a match at in one go and got the helmet. And the remaining challenges at least for me are relatively easy. I got left getting 50 headshots, 15 br kills, 7 more side kicks, and iāll be ignoring the other 2 until reset. Im required to end too more sprees, and win 4 games. Yay i guess?

Iāve now played about 20 games and have yet to see Tactical Mangler. Iāve had a challenge for Mangler kills since Tuesday. Seriously wtf 343i?!
I mean itās 3 games right? Shouldnāt I see one of 3 every few games? Instead itās been 80% Sidekick 20% BR. Oh look at thatā¦ another Sidekick game.
SCREAMS OUT IN RAGE AND FRUSTRATION
Edit: after over 20 games of just Tactical, I had 4 games of BR and the rest were Sidekick. I never saw Mangler even once and that was the variant I was looking forward to the most.
Shakes head in disappointment

Thats not the point. I shouldnāt have to grind for a week just to get a visor off a challenge based on luck
Then donāt bother to get it then?

At this point, Iām fairly confident that 343i doesnāt read very many, if any at all on these forums. I can however say that one of my messages over being āput on holdā over a 2 weeks span actually got all of the 31 people that are āleadersā on this forum to read it. I donāt really have high hopes any longer for these forums, but Iāll maintain my forum signature.
343i, bring back open lobbies and open communication.
For real, how the hell do you decide swat should be an event?

The event is not entertaining at all. The challenges make absolutely no sense at all. The rewards shouldnāt have even needed an event to introduce so they donāt make sense. Every team will have that one or more players chasing ridiculous challenges like back smack instead of engaging to win the game. Tbh I havenāt had a single game of infinite where I was like yeah that was awesome. Itās more like, crap I have to get x number of commando kills and then have to run around trying to find one, if the map even spawns one. And then when said challenge is complete I think, glad thatās over with. Then I just turn it off after the challenge is complete, if I even complete it. No real fun involved. In fact, I really donāt care to complete the challenges in this event. Iām about half way done. And then I watch as I gain xp to accomplish and unlock nothing. I canāt put my finger on it but something just seems really empty about this game and the way it is presented. Like thereās no innovation, value, or content. What makes it worse was the 5 xp boosts that were given out. Really, should have just refunded us all for season 1. I mean, BTB was down for weeks among other issues.

The only fun you have in Infinite is when youāre not pursuing progression at all. Itās so weird how 343 managed to make progression unfun. Usually progression in games are the one thing keeping players satisfied and gives them a little dopamine boost to keep playing.
Not for Infinite. 343 managed to make progression and earning armor so torturous to the point people rather take the L and not pursue progression and have fun in Customs. Customs are genuinely really really fun and the gameplay is really fun, but once you force players to play a specific way (challenges or playlist specific for the matter) all the fun evaporates.
In MCC we have challenges like :
Complete objective mode games
Win games
Play 7 games
Get kills with ANY automatic weapon
Get Driver assists
In Infinite itās stuff like:
End a Killing Spree (Which means you need to feed the enemy somehow)
Kills with specific weapon (Which are sometimes really bad kill weapons because they were designed for utility)
Play a specific mode (but you have to spin the wheel to get it)
WIN a specific mode (same as above but more stressful)
Yea. Fun.

I just wish weād get some kind of communication on the issue. Is this being worked on, or is this how they want to leave it?
Havenāt heard a single thing from the community director in over a month.
Itās just ridiculous.
All I want to know is what the future of the game is going to look like so I can decide if I want to be a part of it or not.

Iām in the same position. Sick and tired of getting placed to do sidekicks and mangler matches instead of battle rifles.
Iām not satisfied on the challenges and the expectations. You can say Iām disappointed.
Really wish they stop placing me in the terrible matches every time.

Did they actually say that?
They did, and itās bull. If there really is a need to monitor the health of the playlists, then weāve already been monitoring for 6 months. Jesus.

Cope about it, did the challenges, not mission impossible. Streaks are gained easily/frequently in Tac. Did it, move along. Pre-Season 1 challenges were something to worry about, this is just baby stuff compared to what we had.
