Well, well…
Remember last weeks Ultimate Challenge? Was really hard to finish all those side challenges for the ultimate one. Those side, better I say “normal” challenges are totally holding back peoples progress and when I finally bite through it, I had to win 17 matches before the end of the week. Sadly, I have a real life and not that much time to play, better I say, I have no luck with the challenges so I have to finish an awful amount of them to finally get though [I don’t buy challenge swaps cause this system is a disease and I don’t spend money on that].
This weeks Ultimate challenge is… wait, that’s a joke, or? No?
15 headshots…
what the hell.
On the one side I’m happy that it’s an easy challenge but on the other side we have normal challenges that are painfull af and last weeks challenge was also a grind. But now? 15 headshots? That#s all?
This entire challenge system is so broken because 343, especially MS want to make money in a so bad way that I totally understand that people are frustrated. I don’t think it will change cause I don’t think that anyone is listening. Especially when christmas holidays are coming.
This is not a Beta anymore, it’s completely released and it’s laughable…

All my challenges are BTB and that’s broken atm so RIP me.
Having said that this weeks reward is kinda meh, so o dont even care much about it.
Better ult challenge for sure, I just wish they popped up at the end even if you had 3 normal ones
I assume as it’s launch week, they’ve toned it down a bit
Not sure how 343 even makes much money on challenge swaps, players still have to have time to do said challenges. It’s not like you can swap everything for get 1 kill with the mangler or 5 br kills. Played 4 hours this week so far, completed 12 challenges. Even if I had easy heroic and legendary challenges - it would probably still take 4 hours for them since those easy ones still aren’t as easy as the normal ones. Surely they aren’t dumb enough to think a player will literally just keep swapping until they get the 10 headshot challenge or 5 br kill challenge. Unless you can play 10 hours a week where you are focused only on challenges - there’s really no reason to care about the challenge system. Even if one day we can select CTF when we need CTF games - what about our friends? They need to play strongholds, or oddball or slayer. Stupid system top to bottom.
There’s nothing really “challenging” about most of the challenges in general, unless you just aren’t very good I imagine (like sniper kill challenge is basically impossible for my bronze friend). Most are just time sinks (win 3 ctf games, win 17 games last week) or you have to be in right place at the right time (get 3 guardian angels lol). Absolutely idiotic that the 2 guardian angels I got earlier this week won’t count. Absolutely dumb.
Half the challenges are detrimental to team play - sorry to anyone who played big team with me the other night where I spent a full match wasting my time getting 3 mangler kills and working on getting warthog kills. Also wanted to thank you for helping me win the slayer match we needed to win that game. Literally just stood back at the end when it was 98-98 since I was so out of rhythm using weapons I normally would ignore half the time. I’m usually not 5-9 - but I’m over here chasing some silly colors.
All “challenges” aka time sink tasks - should be unlocked first day of the week if they want to keep this silly system. It would still force people to say fu to friends though - so frankly - everything should be more generic or not time limited or be able to be completed in less time (again - even if I swap to all the easy challenges - since I can only have 4 challenges at a time max - it will still take 8-10 hours best case scenario to complete challenges while NOT PLAYING THE GAME THE WAY YOU SHOULD - TO WIN). There should be no task that encourages the player to focus only on themselves.
