Check out my post talking about the Halo 4 gameplay trailer at E3!

The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
So, you should know the drill by now. Today is a Firefight Thursday so a clear majority of the challenges will be in Firefight. This is the lone challenge that is technically not a Firefight challenge as it can be fulfilled by any mode, but that also includes Firefight. You will be playing multiple games today regardless and this will also help with the Weekly Challenge. Expect this challenge to take two games to complete.


Flat Tire - Kill 5 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR
So, we have two methods for getting this challenge done and both can be somewhat irritating. First off, you can try a game of Sniper Attack or Rocket Attack on the map Holdout in the Score Attack playlist. This level has static Banshee spawn which spawn every two and a half to four and a half minutes. The longer the game, the more spawns you get. Expect this method to take two games though. The other method is to simply go for kills while working on the "Demon" challenge in the Firefight playlist. However, you have three other teammates who will want vehicle kills as well and you also need to get a map where vehicles drop, like Beachhead or Glacier. Whatever you do, do not play 2X Score Attack, as those kills will not count for the challenge in most instances.

Demon - Kill 40 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2800cR
They really could stand to be a little more creative with these challenges, couldn't they? I mean, this one is not really challenging at this point and is just more of a grind like the rest. Well, Elites are some of the hardest enemies you will face, depending on what type of Elite they are. In a game of 2X Score Attack, you can get about twenty Elite kills. You actually do have the potential to somewhat match that in the Firefight playlist with certain gametypes but it will not be easy. My suggestion for this challenge is to work on all the other and see how many Elite kills you get while doing those. Once they are done, refocus on this challenge and do what you need to do to finish of the challenge.

Watersports - Kill 125 enemies on Waterfront on Heroic in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2100cR
I want to say that you are likely better off working on this challenge in the Firefight playlist since you can possibly rack up more kills, but it will be hard to get the map. However, in the Score Attack playlist, you can probably get the map on your first try. As well, either one will likely end you short about five to ten kills. In the interest of working on the Weekly Challenge, I am urging you to play in the Firefight playlist. If you give it a bunch of tries and do not get Waterfront, switch over to Score Attack and take care of it.
