Please stop giving me challenges that require me to either win or play tactical slayer. It’s so dumb you give us challenges that force us to play game types we don’t want to play. It’s even worse that you give us challenges that require us to win in a team based gametype on top of joining progress when you are down 10 from the start.
I don’t ever see any big team battle challenges? That’s my favorite game type, but if i want to complete the weekly i have to play gametypes I don’t like

Pretty much the same sentiments
They took out the BTB Challenges when BTB was broken and didn’t seem to put them back in after it was fixed.
The inflexibility of the Challenges are a real bother right now. They need to add in more that give you at least a little bit more flexibility to complete them in game modes that you’d like to play more.

The only game type match challenges i ever get are tactical slayer or oddball and theres not even a playlist for oddball so i have to hope i get one of those games.
I dont see why they dont use the team that creates the challenges for the master chief collection. I really thought the master chief collection was “practice” for them to implement all of this for this game, but it’s like they just completely ignored what was great about that system

I get an overall even mix of Tactical Slayer, Team Slayer, FFA, and Fiesta. I can’t recall ever seeing a BTB-centric one though after BTB was taken down which sucks cause that’s the mode I want to play the most.
I’ll usually get some sort of Oddball one: got a Win an Oddball Game last week which, fortunately, I got lucky and completed it within the hour while this week I got a Kill The Ball Carrier one.
But what was really egregious was the amount of Melee/Backslap Challenges I had this week. Came a point where three out of my four Active Challenges were Kill 3 Spartans From Behind with a Melee Attack, Kill 3 Spartans From Behind With A Melee Attack In Last Spartan Standing, and Kill 3 Spartans With A Melee Attack In Last Spartan standing. And that was after I already did a 3 Melee Kills in LSS and I still had a 1 Backslap Kill in LSS and 10 Melee Kills in LSS in my Upcoming Challenges.
So most of my games this week was spent with my fists out in Last Spartan Standing. Definitely not how I want to play my Halo 
I have 4 LSS active challenges but i dont play this gamemode. Great 
Yeah, i dont mind the mode, but I think it needs a lot of work. I wouldnt choose to play it by any means, but sadly in forced to. I just complete all challenges up until the only ones i have left or can complete are Last Spartan Standing so i can try and knock them out all at once
I find a lot more enjoyment out of LSS than I do regular FFA and if I get FFA Challenges in the future I’ll most likely be using LSS to complete them, so it has that going for it for me.

I think I’ll quit if I ever get challenges to play BTB.
“Kill X Spartans with headshots” would be a much better challenge. Those that want to can play Tactical Slayer, those that don’t can play whatever they want.
Haha that’s how I feel about tactical slayer. I dont mind the mode itself, but I hate being forced to play game types I dont want to play.
343 needs to implement challenges that can be played across all game modes.
I know they want to get people to play different game modes but by forcing people to play certain modes they dont like it’s turning them away from the game.
They could easily get people to play tactical slayer by giving us challenges like “get a 100 headshots”. I would then go play tactical slayer because I know that is the quickest/easiest way to complete the challenge, but at the same time I’d still have the choice to go play BTB if i wanted to and still complete the challenge
I agree. The challenges are way too specific to modes. I have saved up challenge swaps but it won’t matter if the event challenges require you to play a specific mode. I do enjoy BTB but it’s more frustrating than other modes because of the netcode.
I honestly enjoy Tactical Slayer, but I can hear you on the frustrations when it comes to challenges my fellow Spartan.
At dinner, my kids either eat what I make or they don’t eat. They think they want freedom of choice, but I know that if I give them that choice they’ll only choose boxed garbage.
Point of the story, some of y’all too damn picky with your notion of preferred gametypes; Literally turning down a buffet of flavor just to eat the rice.
One should not be forced to play a certain playlist to complete a challenge. That is what’s wrong with the challenge system.
It’s not that im being picky. Like i said above, if they would make challenges that allow players to complete them across all playlists, it wouldn’t be any issues. However, when I get 6 challenges that require me to go play a gametype I don’t want to spend 1-2 hours playing, it starts to turn me off from the game.
If they were to make challenges like, “get 100 headshots”. This would give players the flexibility to play whatever playlist they want, but it’s also a challenge in favor of specific gametype since it’s easier and quicker to get headshots in tactical slayer.
You comparing this to you giving your kids dinner is not the best analogy because once players don’t have any more challenge swaps, they are required to to complete whatever challenges given to them (which some can’t because they may lack skill or have to wait 2 hours for a specific game type to pop up) or even worse, pay for challenge swaps
