The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
This challenge should, and I really mean "should," be taken care of today by the other challenge. Kills-wise, the challenges today only get you to a hundred and fifty points, but you also need to score seventy-five grenade kills for the "Blast Radius" challenge and I would recommend that you hit that in the second game. The second game does not even need to be a full game for you to get a hundred and eighty kills, but complete most of it and you should be all set. What is important today is the manner in which you complete the games, not how many of them are completed.

Points, Points - Score 20,000 points in a Firefight Matchmaking game. - 1750cR
So, after checking through my "Games Player" history, it seems that the best playlist in which to get twenty thousand points in the shortest amount of time is the Score Attack playlist but you have a choice of a few different gametypes. 2X Score Attack is the gametypes that I recommend with the most assurance, just survive with very little deaths, complete all five waves, get a decent number of multikills, and you should be all set. You can also try this with any of the power weapon gametypes like FRG, Rocket, and Sniper Attack, with the first two being the better options. Regardless should only take one try or two if you are unlucky.

Overlook's Overwatch - Kill 150 enemies on Overlook in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1125cR
I'll be honest, this is not my favorite map by any stretch. It also is not the worst map in the game, but still not near the top. When you go for the "Points, Points" challenge, try to make it on this map. Since a regular game in the Score Attack playlist will only net you about a hundred and twenty kills, give or take about five kills either way, this challenge will clearly take two games to complete. The second game, as long as you have finished all the other challenges today, can be a game of Crashsite though you will likely need to work on the "Blast Radius" challenge so I would aim for something else, like 2X Score Attack or Gruntpocalypse.

Blast Radius - Kill 75 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with grenades. - 2500cR
Since you have to play two games today, at least, for the "Blastin' and Relaxin'" and "Overlook's Overwatch" challenge, you should be able to spread out the grenade kills in the two games. Focus more on this in the second game as you should be trying to survive most of the first game to get more points. Try to get enemies as they spawn and remember that the best way to get more grenades is to die. Now, there are likely four Frag Grenades back in your initial spawn that you can get to as well. You enemies should also have plenty of Plasma Grenades for you, laying on the ground. This should be doable in two game, as long as you try to score some in the first game, though you are focusing on surviving. Just try to make do with what grenades you have.
