The Challenges:
More than a Handful - Kill 125 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2500cR
A hundred and twenty-five enemies is a decent amount of kill considering that they need to be gained in multiplayer Matchmaking but are completely obtainable. You will be playing at least two games for the "Home Field Advantage" challenge today, but expect to play seven to eight games depending on what gametype you pick for this challenge. Personally, I will stick to Grifball as it allows you to get twenty-five to thirty kills per game at a minimum. As well, you can try for kills in Invasion, Big Team Battle, and Team Objective, but those games can take much longer than other. Multi Team is also another good option.


That Pink Mist - Kill 200 enemies with a Supercombine from the Needler or Needle Rifle in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
This challenge is not hard, but it is simply time consuming, and the first trick is getting either a Needler or Needle Rifle in Firefight Matchmaking. This will be easier in some gametypes than others, like FRG Attack should give you a Needler as a secondary weapon. I do not think that you ever start with a Needle Rifle. Now, once you obtain one, you need to score a certain number of hits one an un-shielded enemy. The Needle Rifle is three hits, while the Needler is typically around a three-second burst. Also, Grunts and Jackals, without the Mythic Skull on will not have enough health to survive before you can get a Supercombine, so save you ammunition, unless the gametype has unlimited ammunition, and focus on the Elites and Brutes until the second round and the Mythic Skull has been turned on. Once the Mythic Skull is on, you can get Supercombine kills from all enemies. This will take at least two games.

The Little Guys - Kill 135 Grunts in Campaign today on Normal or harder. - 2200cR

Every level of the Reach Campaign features Grunts.  Your best bet at getting this challenge completed is to simply start on Winter Contingency on Heroic and play your way through until you get the required kills.  Now, I say Heroic because you do not want AI Teammates stealing kills before you have a chance to put some shots on them.  Once you put some shots on the enemies, you AI teammates can kill them but you will get credit for it.  You should hit a hundred and twenty-five sometime around ONI: Swordbase.  Should take less than an hour.


Home Field Advantage - Win 2 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2100cR
This challenge is laughable in the sense of, "Why waste a challenge slot with such a pathetic challenge?" Well, every week or so we see a "Win X number of games in multiplayer Matchmaking" challenge. This one is only asking for two games, which is actually a giant relief. Even though Halo has one of the better Matchmaking systems, so little is under your control in choosing the specific gametype, the map, teammates, and opponents, that sometimes, getting a win is just not doable. So, having this challenge asking for such a low number is actually a really good thing and makes life a lot easier for everyone. Plus, you will have a lot of Firefight Matchmaking to play today.
