The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
Hopefully, if luck is on your side, you will be able to complete this challenge in a single game of Firefight Matchmaking. In a regular game of Firefight Matchmaking in the Score Attack playlist, you will typically get about a hundred and twenty kills. There is almost always a chance that you will get slightly less kills due to enemies committing suicide every so often which may force you to play a second game. If you are stuck playing a second game, try to make it Crashsite as you can just get the few kills you need and then just die or let the generator explode to end the game.

Pass the Rock - Earn 20 assists today in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1500cR
Now it has been quite a long while since we saw this challenge in any real capacity. We have seen assists in Firefight, but multiplayer is quite different. It is still the same stipulation that you will need to deal forty percent damage to an opponent and then have someone else steal the kill. For me, Multi Team is still the best option for this challenge. Small maps work best as your kills will be getting stolen anyway, probably. It will also help if, after popping an enemies shield, and doing him/her some damage, you stop and move on to a different enemy. This will allow someone else to mop up the kill and should reward you the assist. Twenty will be difficult to do in a single game, but two games is quite doable.

Came From Behind - Perform 2 Assassinations in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2200cR

Assassinations, one of the high points of all the additions to Reach, are performed by coming up behind and enemy, and then holding the melee button to initiate the kill. You need to kill the opponent during the kill move to get credit and not be interrupted. This can be very easy to do in certain playlists but you have to be careful. Assassination attempts in the air or on an incline will occur faster and are therefore less likely to be interrupted. Now, Team Snipers is typically my go to playlist for this challenge. However, since you are likely to play Multi Team for the "Pass the Rock" challenge, try it in there. If you have no luck, I would head to Team Snipers.

Tough Luck... On - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic or harder with the Tough Luck Skull on. - 2500cR

The easiest way to complete this challenge is to do a Speed-run of the mission Nightfall, though, it is not actually even needed. The Tough Luck Skull makes all enemies dodge grenades and other weapons better. Hardly a really difficult gameplay alteration but it is nonetheless. If you want to do a speedrun of Nightfall, look here at the guide. If not you can just do a regular playthrough of whatever level you wish, with Winter Contingency being one of the easiest. Only other stipulation is that is must be on Heroic, but go without dying to up the Flawless Cowboy commendation.
