The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
Hopefully, this challenge will only take you a single game of Firefight Matchmaking to complete. On average you will score about a hundred and twenty kills in a single Firefight Matchmaking game, but there is always a chance that you will end a few kills short as Covies accidentally commit suicide. For the first game, make sure you play either 2X Score Attack or Gruntpocalypse to make sure you get as many kills as possible. If you still need some, either play whatever game you wish or go for some Crashsite.

A Simple Spree - Earn any spree in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR

We are really seeing a lot of challenges for sprees in Firefight recently which are quite easy to begin with. A spree in Firefight Matchmaking is just ten kills uninterrupted by a death and you should really have no problem completing this challenge while doing the "Covenant-cite" challenge. Beyond this, not much else to say for this challenge, though you might be able to get it done faster if you get a weapon spree, which only need five kills with a certain weapon.

Short, Controlled Bursts - Kill 200 enemies with automatic weapons in the Campaign today. - 3000cR

This is a lot of kills with automatic weapons and you might actually need to play through a good chunk of the Campaign to complete this challenge. Start with Winter Contingency on Normal or Heroic and only use automatic weapons (i.e. the AR, Needler, Plasma Rifle, Plasma Repeater, Brute Spiker). Except for the Brute Spiker, you should have ready access to all of these weapons in most parts of the game. Try to carry two automatic weapons at all times. Now, you do not have to actually score two-hundred kills, since if an AI Teammate kills an enemy that you damaged, you still get credit for it. So, try to dole out as much damage as you can to all the enemies so you get credit for all the kills. This challenge make take you well into Tip of the Spear to complete, though you may want to skip Nightfall.

Sweep the Leg - Perform an Assassination in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR

A single Assassination in multiplayer Matchmaking should be easy enough to complete. If you are unaware of how to assassinate an opposing play, you just need to come behind your opponent and hold the melee button once you are close enough. This will start an Assassination move that must mostly finish for you to get credit for the Assassination. I always end up scoring at least one Assassination in Team Snipers so I am heavily recommending that playlist for this challenge. It should only take you a single game.
