Or they need to have a dedicated playlist for the weekly challenge. So, for a win X number of this match type, there’s a special playlists only for that match type, make it limited time if they want to encourage people to play it.
For example, at the end of the “week”, you get 24 hours to enter the special playlist and complete the challenge.
They did it for the Fiesta challenges, why can’t they do it for the others? 
Due to map removal (behemoth) theres only a 14% chance you get ctf in ranked. Then 50:50 odds you win it.
Seems fun.
That’s a good idea. Kinda of like a mini event.
If I’m understanding you correctly, players would complete 20 challenges to unlock the “capstone playlist” for that week. Then they could work toward the weekly prize.
In general they need to just remove the time sensitivity and just reward players with a “season point” that they can spend on a signal item in a pool of weekly rewards. That way if I fail to get the item this week, I can just try again next week.
less then 50-50, because you can tie a game of CTF
Putting this challenge up the week after they removed Behemoth flag (which you’d get 50% of the time it seemed) is insulting. Someone’s clueless over there and it shows.
I have over 1300 games played and this is the first time I want to uninstall the game. Like others have said, I’m a completionist, I took a small pride in having unlocked everything free in the game so far. If I can’t unlock that one, my interest in the game will be extremely low.
I started college again recently and this challenge has been a colossal waste of time it’s insulting. I played all day today and yesterday and only got CTF like 4 times. One of them was a steamroll for the other team and one was a 3v4. I never felt like wasting so much time, throwing it in the garbage it’s offensive.
Something like that, yeah. But I think a time limit on the special playlist should be there, 24hr is just an example.
Finally got the challenge done thanks to this still took 4 more hours
You deserve a drink!
I’m actually considering deleting this game after how much time, money, and effort I put into it. This is bs.
Make it a double 
!!
I agree. Spent the whole weekend and still not getting enough CTF games to complete last challenge. Not to mention my rank went bad because people aren’t playing if it’s not CTF.
I played 10 ranked matches before a single ranked CTF match came up, and you require winning 3? When it did finally launch a CTF round, one of our players dropped out and it was 3 on 4 so it wasn’t a fair match. This is a great way for 343 / Microsoft to say if you have a life beyond playing video games don’t bother playing the weekly challenges or the game in general. If you are going to require a specific game type, then you need to allow us to select that game type, i.e. Ranked CTF only matches. Put a little thought into the reality of these weekly challenges, such as last week requiring killjoy’s, why should we let our teammates die and the enemy live longer just to get killjoy challenge completed? Do Better.
After unlocking the weekly, I got lucky and won 2 CTF in my first like 10 ranked games. Just finished a 2 hour grind without any CTF games 
The challenge isn’t to win 3 games of ranked CTF. it’s to keep searching and quit out until you get at least 3 ranked CTF matches. Do you like that?
I actually just got banned trying to finish this weekly challenge… I was banned because I kept leaving matches, which I normally never leave a match, but to the extreme specifics of not being able to pick game modes such as strongholds and CTF I kept leaving any match that wasn’t what I needed. I do admit I am kind of a POS for leaving, but I spent 4 hours to finish just the Final challenge only to be denied in the last 30 minutes to finish it because the game refused to give me any CTF matches. Honestly 343 just needs to enable all game modes in ranked and unranked at all time with out the requirement of quick play.
It took me 4 days to get the challenge done (Friday through Monday). Probably played 20 hours or so I could check. I got CTF 1 out of 8 matches maybe. And I needed at least 8 CTF games to unlock the reward.
It is the worse experience I’ve had with Halo Infinite. By far. I wanted to uninstall.
I love ranked and I always have. But honestly only when i can mix it in with social play too, kind of a cool down almost.
This week having to pretty much grind 30 straight ranked games was a huge headache. And I got lucky and went 3-1 in my CTF games!
I really hope 343 takes the feedback about not forcing specific game types for challenges unless we can better select game types.
What stinks is we’re basically re-treading the issues everyone complained about with MCC’s first couple ranked seasonal challenges. It would have been nice for those dev teams to collaborate more on QoL updates so we wouldn’t be going through the same problems again.
Spend 6 hours in total just for this challenge, got 3 ctf matches and lost 1 of them. Don’t know why they do this kinda challenges. Cant even reroll it
Just want to add to the chorus. I didn’t have too much time to play Ranked during the week so by the time I beat the intro challenges it was the weekend. Played a dozen hours, including late into the night on Monday and then even trying Tuesday going into the deadline.
2 CTF wins. Maybe ~8 games out of 12 hours of play? I should’ve gotten 3 somehow, yeah, but considering that some of the losses were players dropping out and others you just don’t controller your team, it’s not that easy. I just wasted so much of my free time to not even get the stupid flag background.
Besides the arguments that Ranked is the last place you should put a challenge, why make it the least likely game mode? I’ve won countless oddball and strongholds games. I’ve been enamored with playing multiplayer and ranked for months now and a huge supporter, and I’m irate that no one thought this challenge might be frustrating or an inconsiderate waste of people’s time before it went out.
