Subject: Daily Challenges - Why not seven?

NB: This thread regards inconceivably pointless topics. You have been warned.

Title has been changed. I'm evil, I know.

I think there should have been SEVEN daily challenges for seven reasons:

- Four challenges can seem too easy to complete
- Four challenges can be far too quick to complete
- Four challenges offer little game-type variety
- Credits obtained can seem minuscule at higher ranks.
- The list is dwarfed by the screen it appears on (so much empty space)
- Seven is a very good number of challenges, 10 being too many.
- Seven is the number of eternal wisdom and truth (inb4opinion)

Space for more challenging challenges too.

So I believe that seven daily challenges would have been far better in many ways. Everyone would be like:

"I love those awesome guys for making seven challenges!"
"Imagine if there were only four challenges LOL!"
"I love how there are seven challenges so much, I'm going to give them ALL of my moneys forever and ever every day!"

That last one is down to opinion but I feel it may have happened. See how you can regret things like this? Tut, tut.

On a serious note (lol not really) Four challenges are rarely enough to offer much variety to players. Thursdays are in fact reserved for Firefight challenges. A good example if I may say, of how variety can not be held within four challenges. Seven challenges could offer (perhaps):

- 1 kill X enemies in any game mode
- 2 campaign challenges
- 2 firefight challenges
- 2 matchmaking challenges

Those numbers could in fact be mixed up a bit during the week, of course to stop the curse of repetition. So much variety! Seven challenges would also have added a clearer difficulty scale. For example a couple could yield BIG MONEYS and be significantly more challenging than the rest because we all know that members of the community love a challenge. Sometimes LASO just is not enough.

And on special occasions/holidays! Well, the possibilities are too exciting to think about and end up longing for what could have been. The moral of the story is that there are infinite reasons to have had seven daily challenges. Infinite.

So how many daily challenges do you think would be reasonable or do you think four is certainly enough to enjoy games with cR bonuses on offer? Thank you... for listening.

It's all about the challenge, mah boi.
But I spoke out on behalf of all my credit loving peeps.
In these dark times of custom challenges and challenge exploit and abuse, the only option is absolute revolution.

Not entirely sure how 'get 40 headshots' or 'play 5 games of multiplayer matchmaking' is challenging

I like completing the challenges for the, well, challenge. Screw the credit reward - Perhaps the triple double challenge today should've been a "earn 3 double kills per multiplayer matchmaking game, twice" instead of just for a single game. I would've gotten it easily.

You missed the point, mah boi. With challenges like those we are forced to tolerate today set aside, room is cleared for challenging challenges so to speak. Seven.

Just make your own custom challenges. And 2 weeklys would be nice 1 LASO (always every week) and then 1 other kills FF games or whatever all I want is a LASO every week. Easy credits.

I spent all day Custom Challenge boosting today. So yeah, you can say I'm a credit lover.

How? It isn't even doubling the minuscule selection there is today.

  • 12.18.2011 10:41 AM PDT

why not make it 100 daily challenges and 50 weekly challenges come on you would probabbly hit the credit cap too quickly

As if you're in any position to say that.
