The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 150 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. – 2250cR
The challenges today are generally easy that should hopefully not take a lot of time. You will be playing probably two games for the “Flat Tire” challenge and then another two games for the “Overlook’s Overwatch” challenge. Regardless, this challenge which is simply requiring you to get a hundred and fifty kills in Firefight matchmaking will be easily completed. Do not worry about it and move on.

Survivor - Earn 5 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game. – 2000cR
A spree in Firefight Matchmaking is ten kills in a row without a death. Get up to fifty kills without dying and this challenge will be completed. You should get this in your first game and this is so insanely easy that there is not much more to comment on it. Just get five sets of ten kills without dying and you should be fine.

Flat Tire - Kill 5 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking. – 2000cR
This challenge is almost always a pain since there is really only one map upon which you can get vehicle kills in any sort of expeditious manner. That map is Holdout and you will need to be playing either Sniper Attack, Rocket Attack, or FRG Attack. 2X Score Attack, for some reason, does not work for the challenge, likely due to the increased weapons damage. Now, for Holdout, Banshees will spawn in the sky every two to four minutes. The faster you kill them, the faster they come. Try to make the game last as long as possible to get as many kills as possible. Expect to get about three per game but I have hit up to five before. That is very rare, however.

Overlook's Overwatch - Kill 150 enemies on Overlook in Firefight Matchmaking. – 1125cR
Overlook is not generally one of my favorite maps, thought it is not one of the worst maps to ship with the game for Firefight. Gruntpocalypse and 2X Score Attack will be your go to gametypes for this challenge for the first game since they offer a lot of kills quickly. For the second game, I would try for Crashsite since, once you have all the kills you need you can just die to end the game. Most likely, however, that gametype will not be available so you will likely need to play another game of whatever gametypes present themselves.
