The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR
If we were able to just do a regular game of Firefight Matchmaking, or even a game of the now non-existent Firefight Doubles, we could get this done in a single game. However, due to the need for assists for "A Friend in Need," we will need to play in the standard four player Firefight Playlist. There is a very good chance that you could end up with less than a hundred kills and will need to play another game anyway. If that does happen, if you have completed "A Friend in Need" play Crashsite in Score Attack. If not, jump back in to standard Firefight. It sucks, but it's the only way to get it done.

A Friend in Need - Earn 10 assists in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2200cR
So, you are rewarded an assist every time you deal forty percent damage to an enemy who is killed by someone else. This is often known as someone stealing your kill and you would typically have a right to be angry about it, but we need this to happen today. It is really important that you communicate with your teammates on this one so they know that you want them to steal kills from you. Playing with one friend is even better as it will allow you to help get assists for each other. Now, ten in a game is definitely doable, but you will likely see more assists after the second round starts, once the Mythic Skull (enemies have double health) is on. Play a second game if need be to finish off this challenge.

...Is a Virtue - Score 40,000 points in any Campaign mission with less than 3 deaths. - 2000cR
This is a little bit of a mean challenge, to be honest. Most people will not finish the Weekly Challenge in a single day, so if you started it yesterday, you will either need to beat it today, getting forty-thousand points, which is possible, or you will need to lose your progress and start over again later. If you choose the first option, pay attention to the LASO guide and good luck. If not, Banshee Hunting on New Alexandria is your best option to get this done fast. A guide on how to do that can be seen right here. Should take about five to eight minutes to complete.  Either way a fair bit of Campaign-play today.

Sweep the Leg - Perform an Assassination in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
A single assassination. Not all that hard by a long shot and especially easy if you know the right playlist to go for this in. That playlist, is Team Snipers, believe it or not. What you will want to do is vote for Snipers on a small map, like Uncaged, and then try as hard as you can to flank the other team. Players in Firefight Matchmaking tend to lose focus of anything but their scopes and can be flanked really easily. To perform an assassination, just hold down the melee button when you are right behind your enemy. Assassinations on inclines or in the air happen much faster and are less likely to be interrupted, so they are preferred. Should only take a single game and no more.
