That weekly challenge is just garbage. I played it for 10 minutes, got to the first large group of Elites and realized how idiotic this game is on extreme difficulties. The damn Elites all look identical and were shifting around back and forth like a shell game. It was almost impossible to keep track of which one I was trying to focus on, especially if I had to take my eye off of them to find cover. I felt like I was just wasting what precious ammo I had and turned the game off.

I hate it when they have to resort to breaking their own conventions to make this game harder. Sniper rifle headshots should kill no matter what. Plasma pistol overcharge should strip shields no matter what. Needle supercombines and plasma sticks should be insta-kill. Those are combat equalizers that add so much to the tactical resource management of the weapons. Without that element, the fights are almost sheer attrition.

I also don't appreciate Black Eye, either. Never have, never will. Why have we been stuck with the same skulls for 3 games, anyway? It's not like they weren't plucked from a hat to begin with.
