The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1100cR
Well, it seems that 343 Industries is at least keeping up with the Firefight Thursday trend, which I have no trouble with. First off we have this challenges requiring you to get a hundred and twenty kills in Firefight Matchmaking. This, like always, will take you a single game in the score attack playlist. You do not have to go out of your way for this challenge since you will be playing multiple games for the "Flat Tire" challenge.

Demon - Kill 50 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1500cR
You will probably need to finish this one off after doing the "Flat Tire" challenge. You can expect to get about four or six Elites every game you play for the "Flat Tire" challenge. At most, that will net you about twenty or so kills. You still need another thirty and the answer for that is 2X Score Attack. Note that vehicle kills in the Score Attack playlist do not count towards the "Flat Tire" Challenge. You should be able to net an additional twenty or so Elite kills in the last wave of 2X Score Attack. Load it up one more time to finish off the challenge.

Survivor - Earn 5 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game. - 1000cR
Five sprees in a game is child's play. You will get a spree every ten kills but you can die after ten and get another spree. Considering that there are a hundred and twenty or so kills available in the games you will be playing for the "Flat Tire" challenge, this should be easy pickings. Do remember that these five sprees need to be in a single game however.

Flat Tire - Kill 10 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1125cR
I was hoping that 343i would hold off on using this challenge until they fixed the fact that barely any vehicles spawn in Firefight. That was, apparently, wishful thinking. The key to this challenge is playing Sniper, Rocket, or FRG Attack on the map Holdout. Over the course of an entire game (meaning the clock goes down to zero), up to five Banshees can spawn on this map. Typically you will see three Banshees, though the average seems to be moving to four recently. Shoot down the Banshees for the vehicle kills. As well, Grunt's using turrets count if you shoot the turret. This should take you about three to four games.
