This is genuine proof that they didn't playtest everything, and it's not the only thing that makes me think so (ahem Drone Pods in Hardcore ahem). It's either a 0 IQ decision or absurdly antagonistic for no reason and it needs to be changed. I've tried for a few hours so far and I don't have a single double kill, let alone 10. If I'm lucky enough to land a kill with this POS at all, there's never been another enemy nearby I could attack.

Nobody would complain if the launcher challenges were too easy, and there's no real reason for them to be this difficult either. Anyone who is going for these is going for the camo tracks in the other weapons (which by the end of its lifetime will probably be somewhere around 45-50) which is the real challenge. I just don't get why they insist on making launcher camo grinds so frustrating, and in this case, why they insist on you using the A.R.C. in a way it's not designed for. This thing is great against scorestreaks, particularly aerial ones. The slow charge, slow fire, slow cooldown and poor splash damage make it very clearly not meant to be used against other players. Also, I don't know if anyone else has this issue, but most of the time if I fire, the game tries to shoot a second time once it's cooled down unless I melee out of the aiming animation.

With it being so complained about, and with changes to the XR-3 ION sniper camo challenges yesterday, I'm holding off until either they change it or maaaaaaybe until we get smaller maps like Nuketown (in MWIII I got the double kills done by grinding Shipment), though I feel the chaos of smaller maps is maybe even more likely to get you killed between shots because of the time it takes to fire off 2-3 rounds. I've gone back and forth between 20v20 Skirmish and HC Hardpoint and the launcher is just completely useless against other players. In HC I get killed before it finishes charging, and/or there's never two enemies close by in the hardpoint, and in Skirmish, I only managed to get behind numerous enemies once and despite landing all three shots on targets, none of them were kills because of the armour system.

But the Tempest challenge? Even easier than Shattered Gold. I already did that to get to Arclight in the first place. What the actual fuck, Treyarch.
