scorestreaks from care packages not counting to challenges?

Posted by spoiler_82 on Nov 28, 2012 5:06 AM

ive noticed some items from care packages e.g attack like scorestreaks like hellstorm missles, agr kills, swarms, dont count towards challenges?


but items like lightining strikes, counter uav, emp,  do count? is this some sort of bug

    No its not a bug, its always been this way as far as I know. The kills you get count as you usually need in the hundreds to finish the challenge for example 500 kills with a stealth chopper or something like that, but the challenge for calling in one of the killstreaks might only be a fraction of that say call in 100 stealth choppers.

     

    The care package is way of letting people get some of the high killstreaks if they dont have the skill to get them through kills flag caps and the like but the snag is that you will never get credit for calling them in, in the challenges unless you earn them in the normal way

      I thought it only counted as long as you had unlocked the killstreak with a token.

      I'v had swarm in a care package twice.The first time i had it unlocked. and the kills i got registered towards the challenge, but the second time it wasn't, and no kills were registered.

        not sure about that theory, i never unlock emps. counter uavs with my token but it counts, i might try that for the assault type ones and see if they count from care packages

          Yeah i got the dogs in a carepackage.. they weren't happy being stuffed in a box and thrown out of a plane though...

           

          None of the kills from it went on my stats either

          Dougie is right; the easy way to confirm it is to check your challenges through the Barracks.  Challenges for any item you haven't yet unlocked will not be available.

    CPs don't count towards anything, Challenges other CPs or your Scorecard. They're just freebies with no real meaning

    they definitely do count towards the challenge.  You have to have it unlocked tho.  I had swarms once via a CP and it didn't count towards my challenge but once I unlocked it and got it in another CP, it counted towards it.  It's always been that way.
