3 wins in ranked CTF. Doesn’t sound so bad. Until you spend HOURS without a single CTF game in the rotation. And the. Winning that game is obviously a challenge in and of itself.
So, again, don’t make mode specific challenges without allowing us to choose the game mode the challenge is meant for!
It feels like guys (343) drop the ball so much it’s as if you’re playing the Oddball social playlist.
While I would usually agree, the backdrop is a flag so it kinda makes sense in those context.
Personally I do hate the RNG challenges though that I can play many games and have zero chance of working towards them. Wouldn’t mind but sometimes that involves playing a playlist I don’t like.
Yeah, it is a realy dumb challenge again. Just wait for lots and lots of quitters in ranked again because they don’t get CTF or they can’t win that match, so they quit.
I realy start to believe 343 is deliberately trying to ruin the game for everybody.
Don’t get me wrong, by all means have the weekly reward be a flag for CTF wins, but give me the option to specifically play CTF. Not waste hours of my time hoping for CTF to pop up in the rotation.
There’s an easy exploit to save you some time. Here it is.
Que for ranked.
When you see loading map, hit select (picture in picture looking symbol on the controller)
If its CTF play and win, if not move to step 4
If its not CTF open your friends list and join a friends fireteam then leave it. That stops you entering the game. It doesn’t count as a loss or a quit. Proceed to step 5
Unless 343i manipulates the odds there a really good chance that someone is just not going to be able to play long enough to get into enough CTF matches for the challenge. This is a recipe for burnout.
It’s too obvious to be casual, last week I had only 2 specific challenge, and both were CTF related. Sadly I got only 4 CTF out of 34 games in that week, and 2 of them were cursed because of quitting. Not speaking of waiting 3 DAYS to even get that cursed game.
yeah it’s totally garbage again. But actually, it feels nice not to have to complete the weekly because the reward is such trash and you don’t have to spend a lot of time doing stuff that you don’t want to do
They do a poor job of it if that’s the case. I complete all the ‘Weekly Challenges’ no later than Thursday. And I have a full time job, a wife and 3 kids.
Getting CTF games isn’t a problem for me with the Selection+Press X if not CTF workaround, but I am nonetheless annoyed that they unreasonably restricted it into one specific playlist instead of letting you do it in Quick Match or BTB.
Like that’s gonna stop people from leaving if its Ranked.
I know I’m playing right into what you want me to do 343 but it’s literally been HOURS with a premade group to do this crip the legit way and not one single CTF game. Not one. I’ve always been the type to look beyond the flaws of some of the stuff you guys put out but this is just outright annoying.
