The New Event Is A Disaster

Disagree here. I find the challenge system more engaging than a just log in and play something and get a cookie system.

The sbmm in the event is beyond awful. Iā€™ve played roughly 20 matches and only won 3, Iā€™m diamond 3 and only seem to be facing players far better than me in this event. Honestly, it makes me not want to play.

SBMM is just not functioning, that is what iā€™ve been telling. Itā€™s almost always completely one-sided, making the matches either extremely boring or extremely frustrating.

I am finished with my challenges now, i already completed the battle pass, so there is no reason for me to play anymore untill next tuesday, since the matches are no fun at all due to the lack of (functioning) SBMM.

There isnā€™t. I hated the day per day unlocks too but it seems itā€™s most peopleā€™s favorite way of doing things.

I said the event was fun :confused: like I enjoy the game mode. I just think the challenges set are not good

47

No one specific manā€¦ just gets tiresome seeing everyone downing the game, ya know? All love

48

yes i can get meleeā€¦I do them A LOT in the fiesta mode when I got an energy sword

Thats by design though, right?

Edit: by design thay you dont complete right away, but continue to come back for more.

Its a two week event with 10 levels. We got 7 or 8 now? Likely to get the same amount next week.

So we got more than enough challenges to complete the event.

PS: I just want to clarify that this is not an excuse for 343. Just pointing out in case you didnā€™t notice.
Iā€™m totally against the challenge system in place. It needs to go away ASAP. Or at the very least all the challenges should be active at the same time instead of 3 so that people donā€™t feel so pressured by them.

Personally, donā€™t care for the season pass or cosmetics so I donā€™t pay too much attention to them. I just play the game because I have fun. But the way they are executed sometimes puts a dent in my fun because it feels that some players are just running around trying to achieve something unrelated to the objectiveā€¦ making very frustrating.

I understand your point. I think the main issue here is the nature of the event challenges and the challenge system generally. Itā€™s all a toss up whether youā€™ll be able to efficiently progress in a given week. Will your challenges all be ones which can be completed in the same playlist or across multiple modes, or are they all for playing a certain number of different gamemodes? To me, the solution is simple:

  • Keep event challenges, but make both them and normal challenges more widely applicable so that they can be completed in ANY gamemode, not just one.

The challenges should really be limited to:

  • play PvP matches (win or lose)
  • get ā€œxā€ number of kills with a commonly available and easy-to-use weapon (i.e. AR, BR, sidekick, etc.)
  • get ā€œxā€ number of melee kills (no more than 5-10 though, letā€™s be realistic here 343i)
    etc.

With challenges like this (both event AND normal challenges), progression could be completed in any playlist. While I liked the WC event, I do prefer being able to progress more than one level per day. With some improvements to the challenges like I mentioned, I think events and normal progression would be much better, and less painful at times.

new event seems like a cover up for the not doing a lot, or at least it smells a lot like a ā€œCOD Ricochetā€. All the issues still seem to be present, bad SBMM, bad ā€œnet codeā€, BTB not working properly, unbalanced weapons, still getting lasered by controllers, motion tracker never seems to work when i do choose to check it, this list is not exhaustive.

More personal issues, not game issues.

I stopped reading when I saw Iā€™m not a melee person.

It would only be a disaster if the game was completely unstable and unplayable at times- oh crap. As far as attrition goes, itā€™s pretty fun, except I hear thereā€™s a glitch where you can auto win now?

Entirely agree on that point. The MCC challenge deck model is much more player friendly in my opinion for that.

ehh it should have been in the game at launch, that said we should have gotten all the colors from H5 at launch
