The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
You will have no problem completing this challenge today as you will likely be playing two matches in Firefight Matchmaking. You will normally hit about a hundred and twenty kills per game in Firefight Matchmaking but you can also likely fall short so the extra game might end up being a necessity anyway.

Be Their Huckleberry - Kill 50 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the pistol. - 1000cR
I would suggest not doing this at the same time as the "Points, Points" challenge since the pistol will likely limit your ability to get multikills and streaks due to the low power and clip of the weapon. Gruntpocalypse would be the best playlist for this challenge as the all the Grunts can be killed with quick headshots, though the Ultras will take two headshots. You only need to score fifty kills so, after you hit that number, you can switch back to the DMR and finish the game of a little quicker.

Points, Points - Score 20,000 points in a Firefight Matchmaking game. - 1750cR
This can be a trying challenge. You can try for this in multiple playlists and either Score Attack or Firefight Arcade will get this done. Firefight Double is also a personality but it seems like you are less likely to stay alive and get streaks going in that playlist. For Score Attack, 2X Score Attack is likely your best option. Go for an exterior map so you can hopefully get a drop-pod and some vehicles to kill in the final wave. Go for large multikills as well since they will give you extra points and try to get long streaks as well. If you can survive the entire game, then that will greatly help your cause. If you decide to play Firefight Arcade, just be a dick and try to steal all the kills. Then you will definitely hit twenty-thousand points.

Killing Spree - Earn a Killing Spree in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2000cR
A "Killing Spree" in multiplayer Matchmaking is five kills uninterrupted by death or the end of a round. If you play smartly and carefully, you can get this in practically any playlist. Living Dead is probably the easiest one if you are a survivor. Just get ten Zombie Kills in a round without killing yourself and you are all set. Seriously, this challenge is extremely easy and will take very little time at all.

The Weekly Challenge:

Co-op Dash - Clear any Campaign mission on Heroic, in co-op, in 15 minutes or less. - 15343cR
This is an amazingly easy Weekly Challenge and 343i seems to agree since they are awarding you such a meager credit reward. Whether you have an actual teammate or just an extra controller, running through Nightfall is the best option for this challenge and it will just take you six to eight minutes. Connect an extra controller and load up a random profile on your 360 if you have no one to play with. Now, load up the mission Nightfall on Heroic and follow the path shown here to run through the level. This should not take long and it is an easy fifteen-thousand, three-hundred and forty-three credits thanks to this.
