The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 150 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2250cR
Like every Thursday, the challenges are chalk full of Firefight. And, as usual, the first challenge, asking you to get a certain number of kills in Firefight Matchmaking is one that you do not even need to worry about. In a game of Score Attack, you will get about a hundred and twenty kills on average. That can be slightly higher or slightly less in Firefight Arcade. Either way, you will have this complete in two games today as long as they are both Firefight.

J.H. Death Machine - Kill 70 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Grenade Launcher. - 1250cR
There are only a few gametypes in which you can even get the Grenade Launcher. In Score Attack, it's Score Attack, 2X Score Attach, and Nade Attach. In Firefight Arcade, it is Arcade Fight and Nade Fight. This will obviously be easier to choose in Score Attack, so I recommend playing it there to get these done fast. Seventy enemies is very doable in a single game, though it can be done in multiple games since the challenge does not stipulate a single game. Aim for groups of enemies and tight quarters and as they spawn. Also remember that the Grenade Launcher round bounces at least once. And do not hold the trigger as the rounds are more deadly when they are not doing an electric shock.

Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 150 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1125cR
I will not really call this challenge difficult, just time consuming. I would work on this once you have finished all the other challenges for today as you are likely to get some of this done while working on the other challenges. After that, jump into Firefight Arcade to work on the Weekly Challenge and choose games like Sniper Attack or Arcade Attack. Both give you chances to start with a precision weapon (Sniper or DMR, respectively) and after a few games you should have this challenge in the bag. No sweat.

One Game, One Spawn - Complete a Firefight Matchmaking game without dying. - 2000cR
This is probably an easier challenge to complete in Score Attack since it is only one round, whereas Firefight Arcade is three rounds. I would go for the Beachhead or Glacier map because both have some good hiding spots you can reach with your Jet-pack. On Beachhead, you get jet-pack up to the little balconies above your spawn. On Glacier, you can jet-pack up to that large tower like structure above the base. For gametypes, Gruntpocalypse is the easiest and will definitely help you towards the "Hyper Lethal Vector" challenge. But be wary of the time, you need to complete the game, which means you might need to leave your hiding spot to hunt some Grunts.
