I don’t understand why they make the ultimate challenges based on things that are completely random. Doesn’t that completely contradict the idea of an ultimate challenge? Shouldn’t the ultimate challenge be more based on skill than luck or your ability to quit matches over and over again until you get the right game mode? If there was a match composer it would be totally fine but obviously that’s not the case.
Last 30 days average pop on steam: 18.7k
At this rate MCC has a chance to become even with it within the year.
What are MCC stream numbers?
The awful reward is fine. This game is stale as church crackers. At least I don’t feel obligated to GRIND out stale halo when the weekly reward is garbage. Perfect time for Dying Light 2.
Steam numbers are irrelevant. Halo is an Xbox title and the majority of its players are on xbox
I suppose on the one hand it’s good they aren’t great items because then FOMO would strike but for the time and effort players have to go through I doubt many of any players have felt it was a great reward.
I suppose in an ideal world people would have enough fun playing the game and completing the challenges organically and seeing the reward as a nice little treat, I suspect that’s what 343 intended but I think the reality is pretty far from that.
Steam’s number are not irrelevant. They’re the only clear indicator we have of player count and dropoff. You really think the trend isn’t the same on other platforms? Of course it is. On every social media platform this game is getting trashed. Sure though, it’s just the steam numbers. Everywhere else is fine.

They straight up don’t care. If they do, we’re in an abusive relationship. Either way, it feels pretty bad right now.

The challenge and the reward are crap. Maybe it is because 343i is a crappy developer!?

I let pass a few of this weekly rewards. Even dont completed Tenrai Event because im sick of the challenges. I noticed that working on the challenges took away the fun i had playing halo.
So i just stopped completing challenges.

Not saying your wrong about this but i do have a question.
Would you rather a lame reward for the weekly challenge that doesnt give you the fomo feeling?
Or
Would you want something good like a piece of armor for the weekly challenge?
One thing is for sure i dont want good stuff locked behind fomo weekly challenges. Every match you play there would be people trying way too hard to get their challenges done and every match would be pointless as the outcome of this challenge. People throwing matches or leaving games etc.
If it is easy to get, then you and everyone else would have this good reward and you would see everyone having the same look as you and in return would make this good weekly reward feel not wort it. Why put yourself through these already horrible challenges just to get a good reward that everyone else will have.
I’ve giving up on challenges very early and 343 won’t make them any better.
This is just my opinion but, I think they delayed the event that was suppose to happen this week, because of the HCS thing happening this weekend. They may jave not wanted players grinding the event this weekend, so as to have people watch the stream instead.
See I don’t get the whole FOMO thing. Like it’s a digital cosmetic unlock. The world won’t end if for whatever reason you can’t or don’t unlock it. But for those people who do/can put in the time, and put up with the ridiculous challenges, should be adequately rewarded with a decent unlock.
For a game that was marketed as having “better customization than reach” I had much higher expectations for the quality of the unlocks overall.

You’re right. The customizations are pretty lack luster. The MCC has with halo 3 has way more customizations than infinite and none of those customizations were locked behind a pay wall

Admittedly all they really have to do is do what they have been doing with MCC and make challenges with rewards have a longer duration and active all of the time. And, really, even weekly challenges should be active the entire time instead of being queued up so that you can earn progress for them at any time, but that’s its own issue.
Weekly rewards are so awful, that these rewards are picked right out from a garbage can.
The cool ones that we used to get it for free in MCC will be put in the store. Halo infinite seems its dead on arrival.
