The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 250 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3500cR
Two hundred and fifty kills today is, honestly, a kind of awkward number depending on what playlists you play in. Typically, in a game in the Score Attack playlist, you will get a hundred and twenty kills (2X Score Attack is the best). Double that and it puts you ten short of this challenge. There are two remedies for this. The first is playing one game of Score Attack and then the other in the Firefight Doubles playlist, which will net you a grand total of about two-hundred and seventy or so. The second option is playing a game of Crashsite after your two game of Score Attack. Just get the kills you need and then die or let the generator explode to end the game.

The House of Blue Leaves - Kill 111 enemies in a single Firefight Matchmaking game on Heroic. - 2000cR
So, this one is actually not much of a challenge, to be honest. A hundred and eleven kills in Firefight Matchmaking is actually a pretty small amount of kills. and can be accomplished in practically any of the Firefight playlists. 2X Score Attack or Gruntpocalypse in the Score Attack playlist are likely your best bets to complete this challenge. You can also jump into Firefight Doubles which I am recommending up above this challenge. Regardless, this should only take a single game.

Huck It, Luck It - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic with Cloud, Tough Luck, and Catch on. - 2000cR
Well, if you have yet to complete the Weekly Challenge, doing it today would not be a bad idea as it would complete this challenge as well. For those of you who already have or simply do not have time today, a speedrun of Nightfall is likely in order. You can speedrun through the level in about seven to ten minutes with these three skulls on but you will need to be careful as the Cloud Skull will take away your radar and make life a little harder. Just be patient and listen then. A guide to speedrunning (LASO) through Nightfall can be found right here.

Double Nickles - Earn 2 Killing Sprees in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 3000cR
Now, when this challenge says Killing Sprees, it really means Killing Sprees. You need to score two separate occasions of five straight kills without dying. Getting a Killing Frenzy will not help you here. So, Living Dead is a great playlist for these types of challenges, if you are a survivor for most of the game. Remember to stick to the Magnum at range but, once they get close, open up with that Shotgun. You can also try practically any other playlist, but you simply have the best odds in Living Dead.
