Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 5/13/12

Sorry about the delay in getting this one up.  I'm a Caps fan (have been for 16 years) and last nite was tough.  Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the challenges? Post them down below!

The Challenges:
Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 3000cR
This challenge should be really well taken care of today by all the other challenges. You will be playing seventeen games in multiplayer Matchmaking, plus at least one game in Firefight Matchmaking, and then at least one mission of the Campaign. Yeah, I think that scoring a hundred kills today is the easiest thing you will be doing and it pretty much not a worry at all. And congrats to those who got the Weekly Challenge this week. Too late now unless you already have six out of ten.


The Love of the Game - Complete 17 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 3700cR
Seventeen games in a day? Someone is really smoking something over there at 343i. As well, you need to play Firefight and Campaign today making this a really full day. Well, nothing to do but get to it. There are no real tips I can give you for this challenge as any gametype will soon get on your nerves and irritate you. The best I can say is this. Mix it up. Try some different gametypes and just try to have fun. Play with friends as it will make everything easier. Finally, take breaks. Seventeen games in a row is a horrible idea and will take far too long in a single sitting. Get up, take a break, go do something else. Anything but sitting down and playing a game for seventeen straight matches. You shouldn't be playing anything for that long as it is simply unhealthy. Trust me, I found that out the hard way.

Katanarama - Kill 5 enemies using the Energy Sword in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2500cR
This challenge is extremely simple thanks to the Arcade Fight gametype. Basically, go into the Firefight playlist and then pick Arcade Fight if you see it. Hopefully your teammates pick it as well, but that is a different issue entirely. Now, in Arcade Fight, one of the loadouts features the sword. Pick that loadout and score five kills with the sword. The challenge is done after that so have some fun in Firefight with a full team of four. Remember that you need to complete the game to get credit, otherwise you have to do it all over again.

Leadership Element - Kill 30 enemy leaders in the Campaign today. - 2750cR

ONI: Swordbase has quickly become my favorite level for this challenge. It used to be that I would always recommend the later part of Long Night of Solace, but you would often have to play that multiple times. ONI: Swordbase, however, will likely only require one playthrough as there are about forty Elites in the level. I would recommend you play on Heroic. This way, AI teammates are not stealing your kills, but the Elites are not extremely hard to kill. Also, remember that you just need to damage the Elites and you can get credit for a kill. Just put some fire on it, let the AI teammate complete the kill, and it will count for you. As said before, you should have this done in a single game.
