The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 150 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2250cR
Looking at the challenges today, I would love to have Firefight Doubles, to be honest, as it would allow you to burn through the "Demon," "Flat Tire," "Hyper Lethal Vector," and this challenge in about two games. Instead, we are looking at a few more. This challenge, however, will take two games at most. In the Score Attack playlist, you will get about a hundred and twenty kills per game, sparing any Covenant grenade suicides. Now, this means you second game should finish off this challenge in the first two waves, if not, you are doing something horribly, horribly wrong.

Demon - Kill 50 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
Despite the fact that the "Flat Tire" challenge is the more irritating of these two, you will likely be going for the fifty Elite kills slightly longer, but that is also due to me suggesting that you get "Flat Tire" done first. You can likely pick up Elite kills while working on the Flat Tire, but probably not fifty. Once you have finished getting your five vehicle kills, jump into matchmaking again and choose 2X Score Attack. The final wave of this gametype will be just about twenty or more Elites that you can kill very easily due to the double damage of 2X Score Attack. That may not get you to fifty, so do one more game to finish it off.

Flat Tire - Kill 5 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR
We actually lucked out on this one today, since it is just asking for five vehicle kills instead of the regular ten. Now, the only viable way to get vehicle kills quickly now is on the map Holdout which has static Banshee spawn with spawn a Banshee about once every two to four minutes. The best way to take out these Banshees is with a Sniper. This means that Sniper Attack, or Arcade Attack if it happens to pop up, is your best choice for this challenge. Note that vehicle kills during 2X Score Attack hardly ever count for this challenge unless you happen to kill them with Grenades, apparently. You can also make do with Rocket Attack and FRG Attack, but those require you to use the Jet-pack to play chicken with the Banshee, as it will avoid your shot otherwise. You can definitely get five Banshee kills in a single game, but are most likely looking at three to four kills. Make the game last as long as possible to get as many kills as you can. Kite the final enemies around if need be.

Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 100 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
Luckily, today, this challenge does not need to be all in one game, therefore meaning that you can spread this out over all your games in Firefight Matchmaking today. Now, to score headshots, you need a headshot capable weapon, which means the DMR, Sniper Rifle, Needle Rifle, or the Covenant Beam Rifle. The first two will be the more commonly used in any game mode of Reach, but Firefight is the one place you can definitely use the Needle Rifle a lot, if that tickles your fancy. You can easily get this done in one game, but likely not with the gametypes we need for the "Flat Tire" challenge.
