Damn it, now you got my hopes up. I was seriously hoping for an alien invasion or some kind of AI controlled thing for MW:O.

are you telling me i haven't been playing with aliens and AI bots this whole time?

Here is my attempt at translating the mission goals.
"Fight 1 Tetatae Alien to the death" = 1 solo kill or maybe just 1 kill/KMDD

The prize is a Fool's Warhorn, if it's anything like the previous years you have to be the one who dies in order to win one.

It already exists.

Also the Tetatae are actually canon (just deliberately ignored) so...

That's a old Locust if remember correctly.. and that the aliens deliberately ignored.
Ignored for a good reason - don't let those Kurita freaks near the birds.

I'll just let my corgi mech finish this one up.

Yeah it's just a normal Locust, but it is a chicken walker and it's being guided by a tetatae.

And of course let's not forget the Raven, aka the original SQUAWK mech.

Raven was the first mech I bought in this game. We could use more SQUAWK mech, since PGI makes made up mech these days anyway, why not SQUAWK?!

[Steel Raven]

I'm guessing it's a 'kill a chicken walker' event.

Better get a prize for piloting a walking target if that's the case

You knowless noobs... the father and mother of all tetatae has long been revealed to the initiated. Catch a glimpse of it at the 02:54 mark of this video, brought to you by the intrepid and most fearless explorer, denizen of the wide white North, TheB33f.

Next we'll be hunting snipes.

The Far Country?

About time... get some tetatae feathers in yer crosshairs!

PMSL! Good one, PGI

I wish they would add knockdowns back for at least one day on April 1st so we can see all the bumper ravens again.

[C337Skymaster]

Haha, I just started reading that book. At least I've gotten far enough to recognize the name "Tetatae", and understand where this is coming from.

If anyone needs a jumpstart on the lore:

[D V Devnull]

<*arrives, only to do a facedesk*>

Whoever in PGI's Staff thought this Event up really needs to explain those Challenges. Either that, or they need to TRIPLE the Available Event Time given to the Player Base and increase it to 6 Days. Why? There are too many things there which are open to misinterpretation on a galactic scale whose likes I haven't seen. That's just not sane by any means, and likely to cause a lot of angry people all too fast who can't figure things out. I would like to never end up seeing all those people posting back how upset that they are, but you can make bank on my words as being what happens if there fails to be enough provided Event Time and/or explanation as to what has to be done.

I suspect it's going to be:

- Destroy 30 components
- 10 UAV detections
- Get one first capture in Conquest? (Don't think I've ever seen a resource point objective before)
- 1 Solo Kill
- 2 Hit and Run

I could be wrong, of course, but I think that part of the fun of this one will be guessing what we need to do as well, because the objectives are unclear. So, no explaining from PGI necessary.
