Apparently when you have a challenge killing enemy Spartans with a melee attack in PvP sword kills and hammer kills don’t count which is bullcrap since they are melee weapons 343 doesn’t know what the heck they’re doing

Also if you have a back smack challenge and you back smack someone with an overshield, it won’t count either.

Someone will probably say it’s classified as a weapon
Well these hands are weapons as well

These arbitrary restrictions on the challenges are ridiculous and need to be done away with. A sword/hammer kill IS a kill. A backsmack IS a backsmack, regardless of whether the opponent is using a power up.
Also, “Win Team Slayer” matches should absolutely be achievable in Team Slayer variant modes (Fiesta, Tactical Slayer, etc) and not only in the vanilla Team Slayer playlist.
This challenge system is frustrating enough without these semantic technicalities barring players from progressing on them. Not to state the obvious, but this system is in dire need of a major overhaul. It’s an anchor tied around the waist of Infinite’s fun factor.

The good news is you can backsmack someone from face on, if desync works its magic.

The challenge system in Infinite is nothing more than 343 forcing us to do tricks for treats at our expense.
