Today is Christmas so have some fun, relax, open some presents, and play some Halo!  Happy Holidays!

The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR
Some simple and at least one irritating challenge for Christmas day 2011, but what are ya gonna do? Anyway, that one irritating challenge, "Flat Tire," will luckily take care of this "One Spartan Army" challenge which is requiring you to get a hundred kills in Firefight Matchmaking. You will be playing a ton of games and you will likely rack up about five-hundred to six-hundred kills over that time.

Cannon Fodder - Kill 50 infantry-class foes in the Campaign today. - 1000cR
Fifty kills in Campaign is a relatively low number. You should hit about double that in, probably, every campaign mission you do. I am suggesting that you do a speed run of Nightfall for the "Iron Will" challenge. However, if you want to get that done at the same time as the "Cannon Fodder" challenge, you can play normally through Nightfall and then start the speed run after getting fifty kills, or play a level like Winter Contingency. Good luck.

Flat Tire - Kill 10 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2343cR
You would figure that on Christmas day the challenge would be short, easy, and painless. And it looks like that would have been the case but then you see this challenge. This challenge is always a pain and it will require a lot of patience on your part. The only way to get any sure vehicle spawns in Firefight Matchmaking and not have to fight a bunch of other people for them is to play Score Attack on the map Holdout. Every two to four minutes, a Banshee will spawn on the level which you can shoot down. The best gametypes for this are Sniper Attack. Rocket and FRG Attack are ok, but Sniper is the best. Do not play 2X Score Attack as vehicle kills in this playlist do not count for the challenge. Expect this to take four to five games to complete.

Iron Will - Complete a Campaign mission alone on Heroic or harder with the Iron Skull on. - 2500cR
Easiest way to get this challenge done is to do a speed run of Nightfall on Heroic with the Iron Skull on. Running through the level takes about five to seven minutes. A guide to do so can be seen here. The only irritating spot is using the Forklift to push yourself past the gate. If you do not do it fast enough you will come under fire and the Forklifts do not last long. As well, this challenge can be completed on a multitude of other missions, like Winter Contingency or New Alexandria. This one is just the easiest.
