Worst event yet

You apparently don’t considering you’re complaining about people complaining rather than discussing the subject.

Back on topic; 343 mentioned that they knew people didn’t like these events, they even said that they’d change it in a post 3 months ago. No idea why they couldn’t just change the challenges to non-playlist specific challenges in 3 months while still having the new playlist playable.

They really need to have some actual events when they finally “achieve seasonality”. Just having some cosmetics and a rotated in playlist (that in this case seems mostly disliked by a significant portion of the online playerbase) can hardly be called an event.

I thought I’d hate it but i actually enjoy trying to be sneaky. Not mind blowing fun but way better than LSS or Attrition.

“No you!” is really not the rebuttal you think it is.

Didn’t mind the challenge event tbh, it was alright.

I think the bigger issue is still lacking solid content, but I don’t see that getting fixed till next seasons release.

I do like instead of getting something like infection we got a s*** game mode and we’re forced to play it if we want to progress through our passes

When we said we wanted all the challenges to be marked as event challenges we didn’t mean have every challenge tied to a mode because the event revolves around a specific mode ffs

343 may call these events, and I guess they are, but by name only. I think, what this game needs is a PVE style event in a different location, possibly in the Open-World, something actually designed as an event, and separate from the regular hum-drum this game offers.

In 343’s world, anything, and everything, can just be called an event … Washing the dishes this week will now be called an EVENT. No amount of creativity, or imagination has gone into these events, and some people like to keep pointing out, 343 is busy fixing things (cough, cough), Yeah fixing things they broke, and even the term fixing things can be used pretty loosely.

I do not like this game mode at all.

They aren’t saying “no you”, they’re saying you’re being hypocritical. There’s a difference.

As far as the game mode itself, this is really some bottom-of-the-barrel stuff here. 1 Flag where defenders can camp with a Sword and spam Sensors while Attackers get the strongest ability for CTF? This plays like the kind of nonsense my friends and I would make in Halo 3 custom games back when I was a kid, which is to say, way below what a company should be putting out with an event centered around it.

It was fun for like 3 games. It took 8 to finish the challenges.

‘The rewards are absolutely awful’ is a perfect example of an OPINION.

In my OPINION - they’re doing much better with rewards this time - we don’t have an emblem split up into THREE tiers of a 10 tier pass.

Let’s recognize how simple these challenges are compared to normal weekly challenges, and the improvements to the pass rewards for the W that they are.

Not even going to try it, I already hate one flag games and now it’s an even more campy version of it? At least the reward is something I am not interested in as charms on the weapons are distracting and I don’t use them. No thanks… Loading up MCC.

They also put behemoth in the map rotation for it

You know the one map that either ended in ties or extremely dragged out matches for regular ctf matches to the point where people wanted 343 to remove it from the rotation

I absolutely HATE ctf, it’s one of my least liked pvp modes in any game. And one flag is the absolute worst… that being said, this mode is surprisingly fun. I really thought I’d hate it, but it’s pretty interesting and fun actually. I got through 8 of the challenges in 3 games, and got my buddie 8 of them in 2 games on his account. it is super simple and quick. Honestly, I can’t complain about this one. I mean most of the challenges are get score and sidekick kills, which is easily doable by just playing it

It’s not even One Flag that’s the issue, but those garbage loadouts… And you can’t even pick up stuff from killed oponents lmao. Thank god I had some swaps left, I cannot imagine myself going through “win 10 matches” challenge.

But yeah, modes like this one, Shotty Snipers, Rumble Pit, Team Tactical etc. those trash modes are the reason we can’t have a normal FFA, normal TDM, normal Domination, normal CTF etc. playlists, 343 is a joke and I sincerely hope everyone involved into Infinite’s playlists got fired as per today’s news.

I thought it was fun. I did complete it pretty quickly. The JFO helmet alone is well worth the game mode. I’m glad it was easy so if I didn’t like it I wouldn’t have to play it all week.

An Infection Event playlist with the Pilot helmet & the Haunted Helmet variation along with it, that would be a dream

Literally would’ve been a way better event than this current one like even iff all the challenges forced people to play it

A lot more people enjoy infection over one freaking flag

Not a big fan of the playlist either. And the unlocks? Should have all been in season 1.
