Campaign is to easy, make more of them or harder

18 Regicides...in a single match? So even if you somehow manage to do that. Minimum bonus is 15 on a regicide. The bonus plus the kills is well over 300 pts.  So this is impossible it seems?

18 Regicides in a single match is quite a challenge. It means you'll have to kill the king, and ONLY the king, every time. However, the challenging part is killing the king will most likely result in you becoming the king afterwards. So this means that you'll have to allow others to kill you so you won't keep the crown because then, you can't get any regicides... Hmm...

I think the Regicide might be impossible.

Why is this week's Spartan Ops challenge from last week's content?

15*18=270. Not impossible but VERY difficult

18 Regicides in a single match is too difficult for the average player, and 343 removed some custom game options that Reach and 3 had

Weekly challenges definitely need to be toned down a bit.  Nailing all the weekly challenges will engulf all my gaming time just into silly challenges that are only worth 4100/6000 exp.  That's two games worth of experience gain from doing some very time consuming tasks. 80 regicides? What is that, like 1 hour of gameplay as a skilled player or 3 hours of play as an unskilled player? Just to gain 2 games worth of experience.  If you were to do all challenges for the week, that's even more time for minimal gain.  If the experience bonuses were worth 2-3 times their current worth, it would be worth it, then it would save you about 30minutes of gametime per challenge completed, and maybe an overall bonus for completing all challenges would be great as well.  These challenges don't seem to benefit anyone anyways, as the hardcore will reach experience cap each day, and the casuals can't get the play time in that is required to meet these challenges.  

Core Legend is broken. no "Core" level in ep. 2 here it says Departure but my xbox says Artifact.

Regicides are extremely hard to get, not to mention 18 of them. In order to get that you would have to play to lose. I remember trying the last Regicide daily, and only getting 2x maximum. (I was in the lead the whole time) I guess these are two challenges I won't be getting.

they added new sparton ops with the weekly and the 18 regicides seems like it will be a lucky few who get it only, I can try non stop for king kills and maybe average like 5 a game.

I'm up to the task of achieving the Heroic Episode one. The thing is it won't unlock. Damn you BUNGIE! I know 343 are the ones in charge of the game I just can't stop yelling at Bungie for mistakes in Halo games.

i have a question, do you receive the xp for completed challenges when you complete the challenge, or when the time limit is up for that challenge, like with custom challenges in reach. it seems like i haven't been getting my xp for them. namely the monthly one i completed. or is this a problem they're working on?
