This is unacceptable

Have the devs acknowledged the challenge system causing this issue?

What’s even better is that when you finally get the game you need to win, the challenge might just not track anyway lol

My two Landlord challenges have been frozen for days.

Nope, not directed at you sir/madam. The OPs last paragraph complains skit being forced to play objective modes to complete challenges :grin:.

This is the real problem with the current system. It’s not how slow you rank up, but how it’s forcing players that care about ranking the pass to play bad and ruining the game for everyone

I really don’t understand this challenge stuff. Just let me play the game and level up and unlock things at a reasonable pace. The Halo NCC collection is still active even though these games are over 20 years old, there’s no need to add stupid challenges to add to the longevity of the game. It’s not rocket science guys.

It is unacceptable, yes, but it’s still a beta in the end; things WILL change to where people are still going to cry about the little things that they’ve wanted since Halo 3. I’m not playing this multiplayer beta until the official launch for my own reasons to why. I get that y’all are frustrated about every little detail that they promised us, but still, just be glad we get to play something. The only thing that I’m somewhat annoyed with is that I felt lied to when they promised that the 1st season was going to be entirely free, reckon that might change in 2 weeks but we’ll see, i suppose.

could just make xp be earned through more than a finite amount of challenges as well. Also add more daily challenges as well. the whole challenge only idea may be like how Bethesda thought oh a fallout game without NPC. Something they try and fail and move on with what their fans are suggesting. hopefully it can be done before release or shortly after.

Halo infinite needs a ton of work now the developers have stated that they have been listening to complaints and they will be trying to fix things in the future but continue to give them feedback keep telling them the things that are wrong with the game until they finally actually fix it because I’m starting to get a little bit tired of infinite a lot of the times I play maybe four five games and then I’m done with infinite and head right back to the MCC and that is when games are actually going decently and not where I end up on a team where no one is actually focusing on the game type and they’re just focusing on doing very specific challenges see with the MCC the PVP challenges are actually good and they allow you to play the game in your own way and just get kills now I know some of them are like get splattere metals but it’s only three medals to complete the only issue I have with the MCC is right now I am at tour 5 level 25 and I’ve stopped getting seasonal points to unlock armors and weapon skins and even vehicle skins which is unfortunate but you do still get one seasonal point per yellow weekly challenge so you still get a decent amount of points to unlock things but I would like to get points for ranking up as well

It definitely doesn’t make much sense how the challenges work in Halo infinite because look at the mcc’s challenges you see every single one of them as soon as the week resets and you can pick whichever one you want to do you don’t have to just focus purely on the first four you literally can just focus on them at your leisure even the PVE challenges which are pretty easy to complete are very leisurely and it allows you to complete them at your own pace

Hopefully, 343 Industries will introduce a matchmaking system similar to the one seen in MCC where the player has the option to select which gamemodes that the player wishes to play and search games for. A such system would probably eliminate all of these issues as all of the undesired gamemodes would be filtered out.

Challenges don’t work in custom matches it has to be matches with other actual players it cannot be done against bots

a few specify that has to be PVP

Or, leave a game until you find the one you need to complete a challenge… then get banned.

Quit crying, Jesus. Don’t you get it? Every Halo has been the same so far. Playlists in Halo have always been underpopulated in objective based gametypes and there’s usually always people in SWAT or BR queues. So now 343i is forcing players to become comfortable with these almost “forgotten” modes. I think it’s great. My matches usually come down to the wire in objective games. The outcome of Slayer is often one team completely dominates the other. Players are required to think a little differently about how they play & naturally they react like kids. Embarassing :skull: :skull:

All you traditional Slayer kiddies are a problem because modes like CTF & Oddball which are unique to Halo are not getting the playtime they deserve. Even the sponsored Esport teams mostly play objective based games though some of them are Slayer too. Point is, the challenges themselves aren’t very difficult, who cares if the developers are regulating modes. Would you rather a bunch of boring Slayer mode challenges?

It’s definitely infuriating when you end up in a match where the entirety of your team is all focusing on completing their challenges rather than just playing the game in a way that they enjoy and it really makes me want to leave those matches when I end up in them but I don’t want to leave those matches in case I get banned for leaving a match

True. I typically do like the mixed playlist… if I’m just playing for fun. But 343 implemented these things called “Challenges” which are the ONLY way to unlock stuff and feel a sense of progression.

I agree with you on some of what you said I think it sucks that CTF and oddball don’t get as much love as they should they’re genuinely really good game modes but I still think that Slayer should be separate from them just so the people who don’t want to play them can just play something else I’d also like to see a return of grifball I think that’s something that should stay in the game cuz it’s genuinely a really fun game mode

Challenges are not even counted properly. I got 9 kills on slayer, the challenge tracked only 7. Just says get Spartan kills. 343 system is a bit broken.

Y’all remember when 343 said they were targeting for people to level up roughly once per hour? Everyone that is trying super hard to get these ridiculous challenges done is actually shooting the community in the foot. Don’t let FOMO of a meaningless cosmetic during this critical time dictate the pace of our future progression.

Yeah, I got a challenge that I couldn’t do ASAP until 10 gameplays later. I had one oddball challenge (I don’t mind oddball) and got three in a row. I figured this can’t be randomized; the goal seems to be that people are devoting more time to Halo and its objectives than any other game.
