Today, I received two challenges after completing some for LSS. My challenges were to;
- Capture a zone
- Kill a flag carrier
Wanting to have some fun with this, I activated a 2XP boost and queued up BTB to try and get a Total Control/CTF match. I queued 10 times in a row, and only got put into Slayer or Stockpile matches. Yesterday while playing without a CTF/TC challenge and 2XP activated, I was getting Total Control/CTF every other game and haven’t gotten a stockpile game for about a week.
I may just be a loony down on their luck, but considering this has happened with a similar challenge/2XP circumstance before since launch, I’m convinced that the game prioritizes modes not in line with mode-specific challenges in order to maximize playtime from the player. At this point, I would not put it past 343 to implement a grindy, egregious system like this.
