This week's Spartan Ops challenges...

Are a bit underwhelming. 70 Jackals and a hundred Grunts could easily be done in a day.

When are we going to see some more game changing ones?

Such as:

-headshots on Elites with the sniper
-not using a needler or plasma pistol
-doing vehicle missions on foot, never entering a vehicle’s driver seat (this would be horrible though)
-Hunter beatdowns

The worst thing is that we’re stuck with them for the rest of the week.

Yeah, if only there was stuff like:
Complete Episode 4, Chapter 1 on solo Legendary with the Tilt skull… oh wait.

There’s never going to be much variety in the SpOps challenges, but even so, they’ve all been “Kill X many of Y enemy type” so far. Getting headshots, kills with certain weapons, vehicle kills, times on solo.

The challenges in Halo 4 suck. The reach ones had a bit more diversity. These ones and the win 9 games in the playlist etc, are just lame.

Yeah, exactly this. We need variety; right now SpOps is just a grind.

A few more suggestions (because 343 is totally reading this and taking notes, amirite?)

  • Complete a Chapter with less the three deaths
  • Get X number of assassinations
  • In a “covertly recover the datapad, get out of there” mission, do the whole thing without being spotted or raising the alarm.
  • Complete the level in under 5 minutes

etc etc. Basically, variety like you’d get in an Achievement. Not every Challenge needs to be “get X Kills”.
