If you weren’t able to unlock it when it was 20 challenges that’s great for you. You’ll unlock it in 1 hour.
Why is there nothing for players who already achieve it ?
Is it gonna be the same items until season 3 ?
Challenges are too fast (and easy) and now there is no point to do it.
That sucks so bad.
i got flagged so i had to change my post weeeeeee
I have no satisfaction at all to play challenges now.
I don’t think I need any of the weeklies until mid-January
Totally agree with this; while i like that the challenges are simpler, the rewards system still needs a tuning.
The point is to give people who are not able to unlock these items previously the ability to do so with the revised challenge system. As I’ve stated in another thread about the exact same thing, if you’re only here for the weekly rewards and that’s your only reason for playing then you are going to be sad and disappointed until season 3. Part of the reason for still completing these challenges is to advance the past that we got for free.
So the game is supposed to be live service but it is bad to expect weekly content to be updated with fresh content?
If you miss the opportunity to get a free item then it will be smarter to get a menu of old weekly challenges where you can select which one you want to unlock.
In my mind the weekly reward is here to motivate regular players to play not only their favourite type of gameplay but to try different things.
It makes the game less boring to me since I can’t play ranked whenever I want due to population issue in EU.
So I play in Quick Play playlist and the matchmaking system introduce me to horrible noobs everytime. Sometimes they are so bad that it’s not even fun to stomp them.
So yeah, having some challenges to do while I wait for friend to connect is something great to kill time.
20 was a sweet spot for me when I majorly played ranked. Now these changed challenges are sooooo much easier to complete and it feels super quick to complete.
Yall need to learn to relax. Repeating weekly rewards is a standard feature in modern video games video games, especially games as a service. You are not going to get a new item every week and honestly yall don’t even know how rare it is that you got 1 item a week for a year.
Hell most games as a service, even destiny, have a month or more long periods where nothing new at all is added every season or two.
Write some challenges on a small pieces of paper and put them in a hat. Pull them out 3-4 at a time. Same concept. I liked it better with 20 challenges in season 1 when a good number of challenges where actually challenging, but more people hated that system then liked it. Now we have this. But hey at least you can us paper and hats to have Infinite challenges a week.
Pen and paper challenges you said ? Hey… this is a great idea !
You know what ? Starting tomorrow I will go further: I’m gonna draw my own spartan and my own rank in my own league, thank you !
Don’t tell me they ran out of ideas. 343 are the best when it’s time to create a new skin based on existing but with tiny difference of color. 
When you’re fan of a franchise all is about completeness.
99.99% of the armor in Halo 5: Recon, recon with a ~ line, Recon with a - line, Recon with - line but down.
At least we moved past that into the age of repeating colors. “here is a red coating. And another. and one more. Here is a red coating on the house. Looks like you need some more red.”
Yeah, I wouldn’t be so sure.
I completed the weekly challenges last week without even knowing I completed the weekly challenges. That’s how challenging it isn’t!
I’m happy that I did but maybe a new name… weekly purge?
Isn’t all gaming? Anyone that plays any game they don’t enjoy to unlock things they don’t care about is doing much worse than wasting their time.
Honestly man I haven’t even booted up the game past the 2 days of me messing with forge.
I just save time and come to these forums to get a Guage on the state of the game.
So far yea, I’ma just stay in the warzone 2 world.
Not to mention I’m.bammed form the Halo Discord lol.
That discord is truly soft.
I do prefer the COD discord more adult and thicker skin bunch
I honestly hate weekly ultimate rewards because most of them aren’t worth it.
A visor that is basically the same one as on the Battle Pass?
A nameplate icon that is wholey uninteresting?
A helmet attachment?
No it’s not bad.
But from what I’ve seen the featured playlist changes every week and what’s in the store is also getting new content.
Would it be great to have alternatives if you get a duplicate? Lile Credits? Absolutely.
Is it awesome people who didn’t, for whatever reason, get to unlock previous cosmetics? Of course it is.
Could they do both? Considering their issues with the UI I really doubt they could do it fast enough to matter at this point. Maybe in a year or so.
Exactly. I’ve advocated for that ages ago.
However, again, UI problems. It took us ages to get the current challenges system with match based XP. How long would it take them to successfully implement that system?
I don’t really follow.
The old system herding players into modes they disliked wasn’t healthy at all for the enjoyment of the game.
New system allows you to freely play what you find fun.
That doesn’t really have anything to do with using old rewards again.
What? I really don’t see how stroking your own ego in this manner has anything to do with the Ultimate Reward.
This “season” is a test run for the new system.
And i343 ran out of ideas ages ago considering all the duplicate emblems they used for the spartan, vehicles and weapons.
I’m not. I take several defeats in ranked and I’m totally ok with it.
But when I can’t (population issue in ranked) I have to play quick play to have CTF, oddball, domination etc… and mm in quickplay is awfull so instead of just emptying my BR on noobs I try to play differently to achieve challenges. Now it’s complicated because it’s very easy and fast.
To be clear it was an alternative to kill time in social when I wait for some friends to play with. I felt more « involved ».
The old system herding players into modes they disliked wasn’t healthy at all for the enjoyment of the game.
True. That’s why I used the dodge option. Playing sometimes different gamemodes is good but I agree that some challenges were pain in the *ss. But not many…
No?
I’m sure you mean to have a point there but it’s drowned out by the condescending demeanor towards other players and the immense skill compared to them you imply you have.
Some people could’ve been unlucky with challenges and used up their Challenge Swaps.
I for instance don’t play Ranked, or FFA.
Forced myself through Ranked challenges because they’re tolerable but FFA is a nono.
And those challenges pop up almost weekly for me.
Sometimes is tolerable, and reasonable for swapping out because they don’t eat them rapidly.
But the whole “trying something new” doesn’t hold any water when people know what they like and dislike, coupled with almost weekly recurring game mode challenges. Anyone who’s unsure will try things out.
Nevermind if you can’t understand my point of view. You never tested it or pretend to never feel the same idk but please stop trolling ´cause you’re totally missing the point thank you.
