The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
You do not need to worry about this challenge at all. In Firefight Matchmaking, you will score about a hundred kills per game if not more. You will be playing at least five game, probably more, for the "Just Hold On..." challenge which is asking you to survive fifteen round in Firefight without dying. That means that this challenge is pretty much taken care of. If you are not doing the "Just Hold On..." challenge, then a single game in the Score Attack playlist will also take care of it.

Demon - Kill 30 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2400cR
Elites are not extremely common in Score Attack, though they show up fairly regularly in the Firefight Playlist. Since you will likely be playing in the later for the "Just Hold On..." challenge and you will be playing at least five games, this is another challenge that you do not need to worry about at all. You should easily score thirty Elite kill if not more in five or more games in the Firefight playlist. Hell, you should have this in about three games. Again, if you are not doing the "Just Hold On..." challenge, play two games of 2X Score Attack in the Score Attack playlist which will have about twenty Elites in the last wave for you to kill.

Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 200 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
Like the first two challenge, this is on that you do not really need to worry about. In playing at least five games in the regular Firefight playlist, make sure you play some games with a DMR or a Sniper Rifle. With the DMR, Grunts are the easiest enemies to headshot, followed by Skirmishers. With the Sniper, every enemy is easy to headshot short of Jackals with shields. Aim for the notch in their shields and you should have them. This will take two or three games to complete but be patient, since you are playing at least five anyway. If you are not doing the "Just Hold On..." challenge, two game of Gruntpocalypse will easily finish this challenge for you.

Just Hold On... - Complete 15 Rounds in Firefight Matchmaking without dying. - 2000cR
This will be the one challenge that will dominate your day. Truthfully, you do not even need to worry about the other challenges but you simply need to focus on this one. The other challenges are such common occurrences that they do not really need extra attention. Now, the best way to get this challenge will be to play in the regular Firefight playlist. Score Attack will have you alone but only for a single round. The Firefight playlist has you with three other players for three rounds, so it makes a lot more sense for the challenge. Try to hide some, but you also need to score kills to make sure that you finish all three rounds before the game ends. Glacier (Tower above the base via jetpack) and Beachhead (balconies above the spawn via jetpack) have hiding spots that allow you to do both. The trick with this challenge is that dying in any round of the game will disallow you from having any subsequent rounds count. So, if you are going to die, do it in a later round. Expect this to take five to eight games to complete.
