UPDATED: Halo 4 War Games Monthly Challenge - November 2012

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

The War Games Monthly Challenge:
To The Victor Go The Spoils - Win 117 matchmaking War Game matches. - 17343
XP So, Monthly Challenges. It is an interesting concept as long as they do not become too outlandish at first. A hundred and seventeen win is quite a bit but I cannot really quantify difficulty as of this moment due to this being a new game and having never really kept track over a month. However, you will likely need to play every day for this challenge. Halo four launched on November 6th which gives us twenty-five days to complete this challenge. That is just short of five wins a day so you will be busy. In terms of what playlists are best for quick games and wins, I will update this as soon as I get more time played in War Games as almost all of my time so far has been Campaign. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to voice them below in the comments.

Update:
So after spending the better part of this last week (or at least the weekend) in War Games, I have settled on some impressions and guidelines for scoring wins.  So, at least in the starting of this games tenure on Xbox live, having competent teammates is everything.  This will likely subside eventually but, for now, to win in any of the major playlists, you need to have a team that is at least minimally coordinated.  The only place this is not true is Big Team Infinity Slayer, which is typically a cluster-fuck anyway.  If you are going for wins, Flood and Regicide are right out as they are Free-for-all playlists.  Oddball is a great option because, if you have a good team, you can camp the ball or pass it back and forth to ensure that you keep the ball in your team's possession.  Just having a basic strategy for Oddball or King of the Hill helps immensely.  Team Slayer Pro is also a good option if you have a group that is more comfortable with Reach style multiplayer.

  2. Thanks. I was hoping for more of an evaluation of which are quick, since I play alone so I go on the 50/50 win assumption, but this is helpful too. I've begun following your daily/weekly Halo4 challenge tips too, so keep up the good work!
