The Challenges:
Fire When Ready - Kill 30 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1100cR
Nothing to see here. The "Now I Have a Machine Gun" challenge wants you to get forty kills in multiplayer Matchmaking. Clearly, that is higher than thirty. (Thank you college degree!) Regardless, easy challenges like these are just one less to fret and worry over. Especially with the next challenge.

Flat Tire - Kill 10 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1125cR
Do you possibly think that Bungie and 343 like to torture us? I do! But seriously, you would think that they would hold off on this challenge until they got it so vehicle spawn were not so rare. However, we have one map that does give us vehicles, Holdout. The trick is, you need to be playing, Sniper, Rocket, or FRG Attack. In these gametypes, Banshees will spawn every two-four minutes. Your best option is to simply kill everything but one of the Hunters in the last wave and simply kite him around. Wait till the time fully expires and shoot the Banshees out of the air. Expect this to take three to five games. And do not choose 2X Score Attack because the kills will not count.

Linked Up with Bungie.net - Link your gamertag with Bungie.net and play a game in Halo: Reach Matchmaking. - 3000cR
Well, this is a little awkward. It's like you new girlfriend telling you to go hook-up with your old one for a little bit. That is right, this challenge is from 343i telling us to go get 'linked' with Bungie.net. Now, I have no problem with this since all the Halo stuff like stat-tracking and file-shares is still over on Bungie.net. If you already have an account and it is linked to Bungie.net, just play a game and you are set. If you do not have an account, go to Bungie.net and click on "Sign up" in the top right corner. During sign up you can enter your gamertag and then you just need to play a game afterwards to get the credits. (Note that this might take a will to kick in so give it time if it does not go the first time.)

Now I have a Machine Gun - Earn 40 kills with automatic weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1300cR
Multi Team is really the best option for this. Aim for objective gametypes if you can. Almost every gametype starts you off with an Automatic Rifle. From there it is simply about racking up kills. However, you can also use the Needler, Plasma Rifle, and Plasma Repeater to rack up some automatic weapon kills. Unfortunately, turrets do not count even though they should. Remember that, unless you are right up next to your opponent, short controlled bursts are your best option. This should take you about two to three games to complete.
