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

The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
So, just from a quick glance at the challenges today, I see a subtle hint from 343i to you saying "So, about that Weekly Challenge..." Basically, we have three challenges today in Firefight Matchmaking so it is likely a good idea to finish the Weekly today, especially since it is the last day to do so. A hundred and twenty enemies should be quickly finished off in a single match of Firefight Matchmaking but expect to play more than one game as the "Flat Tire" challenge will take some time.

Katanarama - Kill 5 enemies using the Energy Sword in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2500cR
The sword is usually only see in Firefight in the later waves of a round as Elites typically carry them. However, your best option for this challenge is actually getting Arcadefight in the Firefight playlist or the Firefight Doubles playlist. The fifth loadout that you can select will feature the sword. I would not recommend playing the entire game with this loadout, but get the five kills, maybe treat yourself to a Sword Spree and Slice 'n Dice medal. Either way, it is that easy. Move on to the next challenge, as it is a lot harder.

Flat Tire - Kill 10 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2343cR
This will, as always, be the most annoying challenge of the day since vehicles tend to become a rarity in Firefight. One of your best options will be Sniper Fight on the map Holdout. Holdout has static Banshee spawns which will bring in Banshees every two and a half to four and a half minutes. The trick is to make the game last as long as possible so you get as many Banshee spawns as possible. Do not try this with 2X Score Attack as the kills will not count towards the challenge. You can also try Arcadefight in Firefight Doubles on Holdout, but you will likely end up sharing the kills.

Twin Trips - Earn 2 Triple Kills in the same match in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2000cR
Well, as it is not Thursday, you knew it could not all be in Firefight, so here is the one lone multiplayer Matchmaking challenge. A Triple Kills is awarded when you, or another player, score three kills each within four seconds of each other. You need to do this twice, in a single game. Now, that is not an easy challenge, unless you know the right playlists in which to go for it. My suggestions to you are Living Dead or Grifball, with the later being the easiest option. Grifball will normally have you rolling in multikills and Triple Kills are extremely common. Living Dead will be slightly more challenging, but definitely doable if you are a survivor all three rounds.
