For me it is the worst challenge ever. I find win based challenges in particular when they are solo only to be tedious and toxic.

I might be able to win a Bay but these 10 hour work days (7 days a week) will make the rest...interesting to achieve.

I did that yesterday... Test server was a hoot!

Also 35 hours pay for 2 days work... If I could just get MWO on my work computers... I'd be fired but might be worth it! :D

Ingame chat should be quite the spectacle this weekend. I expect too see "My team are all noobs and caused me to lose!" from the guy with double digit damage and the first to die multiple times. Seems to be a pretty generous challenge especially the 7 days premium if your willing to put in the time.

I was curious why you didn't seem to be on the forums as much of late, but those are a lot of hours you are putting in. I hope you enjoy your work because those kind of hours get old really fast. Plus it really puts a strain on important things like video games and tedious challenges. :D

That is a big part of why I think this challenge is worse than any of the others. It is going to bring the worst out in people as frustrations mount from losses. The number of toxic comments in game are going to be legion.

Let me see, I had a 2 desyncs and a Crash to Desktop before I got my first win. Bad netcode and bad Match Maker do not make a good challenge.

look at the matchmaker statistic 80% heavy and assault, worst challenge ever.
