The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1100cR
This will hopefully be completed in a single game, but you will need to play two games of Firefight Matchmaking due to the "Demon" challenge. Typically, a games for Score Attack will yield you a hundred and twenty kills, but you normally fall under that number, hence the requiring of a second game. Well, there is not much more to say for this...

Demon - Kill 30 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1200cR
I would expect this to take two games of Firefight Matchmaking to complete. You will want both games to be 2X Score Attack as the final wave will always be about twenty Elites which are easy to kill due to the 2X damage. The DMR is you best option for that final wave since you will want to keep the Elites at distance due to the fact that some of them are invisible and have swords. I would suggest maps like Beachhead or Courtyard for this challenge.

Golden Opportunity - Find and kill the Gold Ranger-class Elite in any Campaign mission on Heroic or harder. - 2500cR
There are two really easy places to get Gold Ranger-class Elite (BoB) kills. The first one is on Winter Contingency. Once you get into the civilian vehicle, drive to the right and turn into the first set of buildings. Often, the Elite will be there and you will need to run him down. If he does not appear there, he will often appear at the next set of buildings down the circle. The other easy to get to BoB is on the level ONI: Swordbase. Load up Rally Point Bravo and go to the objective. Once you are in the garage, move up the ramp and a BoB might be at the top of the ramp going to the left. If he does not appear there, he might appear later in the level, being stationary near the MP Shotgun spawn. And I would try these on Heroic.

Five-time Champ - Win 5 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1750cR
Considering that you were required to play fifteen games yesterday, this probably seems like a very easy challenge. However, actually winning games is much harder than simply completing them. Whether you want to do slayer games or objective games is entirely up to you, but play to your strengths. Stick to games with only two team as that will increase your chances of winning. As well, be a team player do not be the lone gunmen. Yes, you might score a lot of kills, but you will most likely lose.
