Just why?? Almost no one plays ranked, and the ones that play are mostly for trolling or dont even do anything. Making this type of challenges isnt going to make people play ranked more often, this will only cause them to hate it or hate it even more if they didnt liked it already. Please reduce the numer of necessary wins or just change the challenge completely for another one
I could ask the same question about Firefight. I can find games in ranked matches without issue. I don’t want to be forced to play Firefight, though.
Now, before you all come at me acting like what I say is the worst thing ever… I’m just saying that it’s not right for you to ask to remove or reduce ONE OF THE FEW incentives left to play ranked… Especially when PVE or Social has an overabundance of similar challenges.
SMH at players today… “Why” and “forced to play”… Sorry of not all challenges cater to only yourself but there are other players who like actual “challenges”. If you don’t like certain challenges don’t do them. Does it really matter if you don’t get a particular cosmetic or what ever? Honestly this season challenges are probably the most fair of them all.

I was trying to make a point. I’m still playing Firefight for the challenges. Same with Reach and so on and so forth. I agree, either do them or don’t. 343 can’t have their challenges cater exclusively to the casual crowd.
You should be thankful that it’s not another “Reach rank X in gametype Y” challenge.

they should make it a play x amount of matches like the firefight ones rather than requiring a win because winning in competitive is harder for a solo player like me than winning the lottery and becoming the president the next day. they should keep the weekly challenges and whatnot the way they are but there shouldnt be unlocks that are impossible for people to get. its not just hard it is literally impossible for a solo player to win that many matches with ranked in the state that it is

agree. also i don’t really think that these “challenges” are real challenges. they are just a grind, nothing more, with a few exceptions like the “assassinate an elite to save yourself” challenge. so i also don’t think they are rewarding at all
also: if the “challenge” is just to play X amount of games, it is another incentive for people to go afk and not try to win the game
I’m just extremely disappointed that they decided to lock the Sword and Board back accessory behind challenges that require ranked. Given the item’s nature, it would have made far more sense for it to be campaign related. I don’t particularly enjoy playing on legendary difficulty in the campaign, but I will take that over playing online (especially ranked) any day. As it stands, I don’t quite see the point in renewing my Xbox Live Gold for an (extremely) unenjoyable online multiplayer experience.
I think some players are also forgetting the point that seasonal challenges are meant to last for the entire season…not a week.
You have about 2 months to get 25 wins in ranked. That’s actually not that bad at all. Considering you’ll generally be matches with players of a similar skill bracket most of the time you won’t be losing 24/7.
If you approach it with a negative attitude and mentality just because it’s ranked then you’re not going to have a good time.
You don’t need to grind every challenge out in the first week of the season. Chip away at it and it’ll get done eventually.
A challenge is supposed to be a challenge not a hand out.

Yeah but even the begged challenge was some what of a grind… Had to jump off that cliff like 50 times to get it to pop hahaha not to mention it seemed to be bugged for some players. One skill based challenge I would like to see is from my favorite and one of the most challenging achievements… Complete the Ark in H3, solo on legendary, without using a vehicle… But it should pay out quite a bit.
Because the game belongs to them, it’s their game and they can make challenges for ranked mode because of that reason.
I already got the shield as a solo player, you just got to have enough patient, it will pay out.
After around 60 matches on the weekend i got my 25 wins, i want to kill myself lol…
Sometimes up to 5 loses in a row.

yeah. but to be fair, the challenge was a grind, bc of the programming of the game or something like that. it could have unlocked earlier or even later. i think the problem with these kind of challenges stems from the reward system overall. flooding the game with cosmetics and skins and stuff like that creates the problem of how to unlock it? “real” challenges are not the best tool to get player to do them over and over again, while a grind is just pileing up numbers (easy and quickly rewarding)
the MCC is now a grindfest to get unlock points bc of the customization. it maybe even worth another thread, bc with the new exchange system this is on the verge of becoming one of the bad grindheavy and heavy on fear of missing out games… (and it kind of already is)
Your best bet is to try to get the games in right now while more people are in the playlists. Otherwise it shouldn’t be too bad over 2 months but I’m sure there will be a population surge near the end of the season too.

Tell that to the ranked system which matches me with players that are 20+ more levels above me

i agree. I just played a ranked h3 hardcore game with a kid who is playing halo for the first time in 7 years. Delaying my challenge completion because 343 wants to pair me up with bots who havent booted the game up since WW2. Not to mention the amount of quitting and AFKing after the game starts because mfs cant handle a beat down or they are only “playing” ranked to get the challenges. You shouldn’t hop into ranked if you havent played halo in 7 years unless you are trying to get molliwopped.
Honeslty, the best way to get the challenge for any casual would be to play ranked invasion. It shouldnt even be a ranked gametype however its definitely the least competitive.

They’re just challenges/cosmetics, 343i doesn’t have a gun to your head and is not forcing any of you to do anything. If you want the extra XP and an exclusive unlock then you might have to play game modes that aren’t your favorite, if you don’t like one of the challenges then you can f*** off and play something else that’s enjoyable to you.
Simple as that.

Dude idk what your talking about. I got my shield and sword and the br skin. I only had a game where 2 people afked this time. I did go against a lot of more skilled people but I managed to pull my weight. I’m level 17 in H3 slayer, level 6 on H4 slayer, and level 8 on invasion. Rotating out game types helps when a playlist gets annoying or a loosing spree occurs. I actually think it is too easy for the challenge and should be 35 wins. If your just not a good player than frankly its not ment to be worn by you. Its a prestigious cosmetic item. Hell you got 2 months so it shouldn’t be too bad.
