The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
These challenges today are extremely, extremely easy. Besides this one, they can be done in a single game but we will get to that in a moment. This challenge is asking you to get a hundred and twenty kills in Firefight Matchmaking. In a typical game of Score Attack in Firefight Matchmaking, you will get about a hundred and twenty kills. There is definitely a small room for error as some enemies will kill themselves, dropping that number down a little, while other times you will get a Drop Pod increasing that number. I would personally go for Gruntpocalypse or 2X Score Attack on a large map like Glacier or Beachhead. They do not suicide as much on the larger maps it seems. If you still needs kills after one game, play a game of Crashsite, get the kills you need, and then die or let the generator explode to end the game.

Up Close and Personal - Kill 3 enemies with close quarters combat in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 1000cR
So, hopefully you will be getting this and the other two multiplayer Matchmaking challenges in a single game. If you have not figured it out by looking, that one game should be Grifball. Close quarters combat kills in multiplayer Matchmaking are made with Shotguns, Gravity Hammers, Energy Swords, Melees, or Assassination. The only one of those you cannot do in Grifball is the Shotgun kill. The rest is the only stuff you can do in Grifball. Three kills should be really easy to obtain, especially if you are going after the next challenge.

Three Dog Fight - Earn a Triple Kill in Multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2000cR
Multikills are one of the most enjoyable part of the Multiplayer in most Halo game. Reach is no exception. A Triple kill can be scored by getting three kills, all within four seconds of each other. The gametype, as described above, for this challenge will be Grifball. Multikills, far higher than a Triple Kills, are normally common in this game type. In fact, Grifball is, by far, the best playlist in which to farm Multikills for commendations and such. You should have no problem hammering this challenge out in a single game. Get it? Hammer it out? Ha ha. OK, I promise, no more really bad puns...

Better, Closer, Warmer - Earn at least 9 kills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2343cR
Now, the average number of games you should be getting in a game of multiplayer Matchmaking is around ten to fifteen kills. Since we are playing Grifball for this, and the other two multiplayer Matchmaking challenges, this number will likely be much higher. In Grifball, you should be hitting twenty to thirty kills a game. Regardless, this challenge should be well taken care of and just focusing on the other two will likely get you this one. You will not get a Triple Kill right out of the gate. Since today was so easy, relax and just play whatever you want for the rest of today. I'm sure tomorrow will be difficult.
