The Challenges:
Gunslinger - Kill 40 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 3500cR
Pretty simplistic challenges today, some even simpler than this one. Two multiplayer Matchmaking challenges as well as a Firefight and a Campaign challenge will keep you somewhat busy today. Now, forty kills in multiplayer should be pretty easy to come by and will take about two to four games to complete depending on what playlist you choose. Personally, I would go with the Grifball playlist as it will also allow you to work on the "Fourth Horseman" challenge. Choice is yours however, since you can get forty kills done in practically any playlist pretty fast.

A Satisfied Thirst - Kill 200 Grunts in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
Grunts, the easiest targets you will likely ever face in Halo (ignoring Flood spores, that is), are easy to find in any Firefight match, except may Skirmageddon. Gruntpocalypse is a gametype in the Score Attack playlist where you can only fight Grunts and it will be our flavor of choice for this challenge. You should get around a hundred and twenty kills per game in Gruntpocalypse and, as you need two-hundred kills, this will take you two games to complete. Doing this outside of Gruntpocalypse will take a hell of a lot more games as you are only likely to see Grunts in a few waves instead of all of the waves.

Cannon Fodder - Kill 100 infantry-class foes in the Campaign today. - 2250cR
Like the "A Satisfied Thirst" challenge has you killing two-hundred Grunts, this challenge has you doing much the same but in Campaign. Now, the challenge asks for "infantry-class foes" to be killed but it seems that with these challenges that really means Grunts. Custom challenges for individual infantry types count them correctly, but not these generic ones. However, a hundred is not to difficult to hit regardless. Simply start playing through Winter Contingency and do not stop till you hit a hundred kills. You will likely need to continue on into ONI: Swordbase but both levels have a ton of Grunts who need some slayin'.

Fourth Horseman - Earn 6 multikills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 3000cR
As you should know, by now, multikills in multiplayer Matchmaking are when you score multiple kills within four seconds of each other. Two kills equals a Double Kill, three a Triple Kill, four an Overkill, five a Killtacular, and so on up to ten kill which is a Killionaire. Now, the best playlist in which to score multikills has, for a long time, been Grifball. That playlist has not been removed and is still your best option for large amounts of kills and multikills very quickly. Six multikills is easily doable in a single game and, even if you do not get it on your first try, you likely need to play another game for the "Gunslinger" challenge anyway. Get to hammering.
