So me and my friend just got through playing 70 minutes worth of firefight to no avail. We went through 4 sets, and it took days, yet no weekly challenge popped up. We were invinsible, does that count as cheating or something??? man im pissed right now that was such a waste

Did you wait for the fifth set to offically start?
Did you play it on heroic?

Also if you want to make it quicker do:
>Corvette
>300% damage modifier
>10 sets
>spartan shields = ilvulnerable
> Elite generals
>Dropships disabled
>Bottomless clip
>15second bonus rounds
>Rocket loadout
>Use the plasma turrets

Should halve your time pretty easily if not more.


edit: added bottomless clip.

I set it to 4 sets on courtyard, and it ended after the fourth set with no challenge completed... 70+ minutes of playing for 175 CR WTF!

these tips are great im going to use them to quicken the completion. I couldn't find where to adjust what enemies you face, I assume thats somewhere in the settings?

There's your problem. You complete the challenge just before the fifth set.
Don't put a set limit on it.

Ended by itself? You should be the one to manually end it, not set the system up to end it for you. It takes around 30 seconds to a minute from end of 4th set to start the 5th set, so don't quit out till you see "challenge complete". Hence why I set it to 10 sets.

But yet again I'm making the assumption you set it to auto end it and not manually end it.

Guess you know your problem then. 10 rounds, no timer, voila. Good luck with your weekly challenge dave man.
