Halo Reach Daily and Weekly Challenges Guide - 8/15/11

Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the challenges? Post them down below! 

The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1100cR
Now, you should be able to do this challenge in a single game of Score Attack, but due to the Weekly Challenge, I will be urging you to play Firefight Arcade or Doubles to get this challenge gone. A hundred and twenty kill might take and extra game when playing with others since the only three times more kills available for four times the number of players, but you should not have too much trouble overall.

T-Hug It Out - Kill 4 enemies with close quarters combat in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 1000cR
Play a single game of Multi Team or Grifball and this challenge will take care of itself. Four close quarter combat kills in a game is very easy to come by in almost any gametype. Remember that any kill by Shotgun, Gravity Hammer, Energy Sword, Beat Down, Pummeling, or Assassination counts as a close quarters combat kill. You should be able to have this done in a single game.

Survivor - Earn 5 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game. - 1000cR
In Firefight, you get sprees every ten kills. You can go for fifty un-interrupted kills, but as long as you string together five sprees of ten kills, you should have the challenge done in short order. Firefight Arcade should do fine for this challenge since you actually have some backups in these fights. Whether or not weapon sprees still count for this challenge, I do not know but you can check and post below if you use a Sniper, Sword, Hammer, or Shotgun.

Demon - Kill 40 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1400cR
Elite are more populous in Firefight Arcade, it would seems, but there are more people around to kill them. Sniper Fight and Rocket Fight should be good for dealing with Elites but you will have other people going for challenges so do not stand by idly and let them get the kills. And remember that in the later rounds, Mythic is turned on so it will take extra shots to down the gray-skinned aliens.

The Weekly Challenge:
Ride the Wave - Complete 150 Waves in Firefight Matchmaking. - 12000cR
So, this looks familiar. Yes, this is the same exact Weekly Challenge as last week. Not exactly overly impressive from 343i. If all else fails, you could have us just do missions on LASO difficulty again. At least that was challenging. Anyway, I will just quote from last week. "This challenge will require you to, at least, complete a whopping ten games of Firefight Arcade over the next week. Every game of Firefight Arcade, if completed, consists of sixteen wave (this includes the bonus round which counts as a wave.) A game like Score Attack only consists of five waves, so it is smarter to play Firefight Arcade. A person could actually get this challenge done in a single day but most likely you will have it done by the weekend. Good luck with this exceedingly difficult challenge /sarcasm."
