The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 250 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1875cR
It is a Firefight Thursday, as usual. No terribly hard challenges today but you will end up playing quite a few games. Play as much as you can in Firefight Arcade or Doubles so you can get some progress done on the Weekly Challenge. Besides that, expect this challenge to take you two to four games, whether you are in Score Attack or Firefight Arcade/Doubles. Doubles should probably go faster for getting kills, I would believe, but time might also be an issue as well.

Demon - Kill 40 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1400cR
This should, actually, not be as hard as it looks over the three to five games you will probably need to play today. If you are sticking to Gruntpocalypse, two games of 2X Score Attack will most likely take care of this challenge for you. You might require just one more game to hit the mark. It is harder to figure out the numbers for Firefight Arcade/Doubles since the you cannot guarantee Elites spawns during matches. More than likely they will spawn and you can probably get about fifteen a game if you are vigilant.

Survivor - Earn 7 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game. - 1000cR
This challenge is just easy credits. Basically, you will get a spree every ten kills. Considering the massive number of kills you can hit in a single game, this is very easy. Try to knock this out in your first game. The trick is this, once you get to about fifty kills, die on purpose. If you stay alive the entire time, you can only hit six sprees. So, you have to die on purpose to get that last spree. Now, if you have a Sniper, Sword, Hammer, or Shotgun, you can also get sprees with those and they should count towards this total. That way, you do not have to die if you do not want to.

A Heroic Breach - Kill 150 enemies on Corvette on Heroic in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1125cR
If you can get this map to come up, pick it but aim for something like Rockets or any other power weapon. If you are done with the Weekly, go to Score Attack and you can do 2X Score Attack on this map to get the kills even quicker. Expect this to take to games however, because a hundred and fifty kills is probably pushing it for Firefight Arcade/Doubles. Do not pick Gruntpocalypse just because of the "Demon" challenge. Elites do not spawn on Gruntpocalypse, you know.
