The Challenges:
Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 3000cR
Really no need to worry about this challenge today. Today is a Firefight day which would typically mean that this challenge would be taken care of in a single go. However, you also have the "Heroic Holdout" asking you for a hundred and fifty kills and the "More Like In Post" challenge asking you for a hundred and twenty-five kills. Sounds to me like that is way more than a hundred kills. Focus on the other challenges as they are way harder. Nothing to see here, move along.

Survivor - Earn 7 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
A Spree in Firefight Matchmaking will be earned every ten kills as long as you do not die. Now, once you hit fifty kills, having gained five sprees, the sprees get a little more spread out. The next one will be at a hundred and then at five hundred and finally a thousand. Clearly, you will not be hitting those final two sprees in matchmaking. What you will need to do is get a weapon spree (i.e. Sword Spree, Sniper Spree, Shotgun Spree, Hammer Spree, etc). That may work, it may not. If it does not, you will, unfortunately, need to die so you can restart your killing sprees. After that you only need one or two more.

Heroic Holdout - Kill 150 enemies on Holdout on Heroic in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2125cR
Now, the only reason I sort of like Holdout now is because of those static Banshee spawns which always help me out with the "Flat Tire" every so often. How do I feel about it when I do not need those vehicle kills? Meh. It is decent enough, I guess, but not one of the best maps I have seen. Now, You best option for this will actually be Firefight Doubles with a friend. I do not normally suggest this, but this will allow you to hit the right number of kills, pick the right map, and also make progress on the Weekly Challenge by getting three rounds completed instead of one or two in the Score Attack playlist. Expect this to take a single game, but could boil over into another if your teammate is taking all the kills.

More Like In Post - Kill 125 enemies on Outpost in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2100cR
So after you spend a game or two on Holdout, you get to spend a game or two on Outpost. Outpost really is not one of the better maps unless you have a full team of four, I think, since there are too many places to cover. Solo, it is not enjoyable but at least with a teammate you have a chance. Like before, I suggest that you grab a friend and play in the Firefight Doubles playlist. This way, you can get the kills you need, but you will also get three kills for the Weekly Challenge. In Firefight Doubles, or possibly Score Attack, this should only take a single game.
