Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 9/25/12

Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the challenges? Post them down below! 

The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
It seems as though the Weekly Challenge has been changed from a hundred waves to a hundred rounds, which is ridiculous, but I will be updating the Weekly Challenge entry later today but not much will change. You just need to play a lot more firefight, probably about five games a day and fully completing all those games. On that note, getting a hundred and twenty kills now looks really easy, doesn't it? Well, you should get this done while working on "A Walk in the..." and the Weekly Challenge so move along.

A Walk in the... - Kill 150 enemies on Beachhead in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1125cR
Beachhead is definitely one of my favorite maps for Firefight Matchmaking just due to its size and since it is one of the only maps where some vehicle usage is feasible (Man, do I miss Lost Platoon). You will need to get this map while working on the Weekly Challenge and, if you do not get it or the other players vote for a different map, you may be best off playing two games of Score Attack to take care of these kills. That will only get you two rounds of Firefight for the Weekly Challenge, which sucks, but you may not get Beachhead at all otherwise. So yeah, this challenge can actually be very annoying.

A Side of Heuvos - Kill 60 enemies with Sniper Rifle headshots in Nightfall on Normal. - 2500cR
This is actually a harder challenge than you think as Sniper Rifle headshots are not all that easy to come by, a lot of times people score body shots for the kill. I would recommend playing through the level on Normal or Heroic, it is all about your preference. What you will want to do is replay a bunch of high volume areas as this will allow you to get this done in a single play through. The first area with a large group of enemies you get to is the best one for Sniping, so replay it a few time if necessary. Stopping this challenge half-way through and going to play something else will likely kill you progress, so just get it done.

The Magic Number - Complete 7 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 3000cR
So, in the end, you will need to complete about five games of Firefight Matchmaking today and then seven games of multiplayer Matchmaking; not at all a trouble for people who have school or work, right? Anyway, since there are no other multiplayer Matchmaking challenges today, you can play whatever you want to satisfy this challenge. I would suggest Grifball or Living Dead since both gametypes tend to have pretty fast games. In the end, just play something that you enjoy. Remember that you need to complete all these games. Getting dropped, getting kicked, or backing out will cause them to not count.

  1. Has Halo Waypoint been real screwed up for anyone else lately? It might be my old-ass browser, or something, but I cannot get the Challenges page to come up, or any blog post page to load correctly. It's happened before, but never for this long.

    1. I've been having some issues the last few days on their app for my iPhone. Maybe there doing some maintenance for when Halo 4 comes out? I'm not too sure otherwise.

    2. I was having some issues as well, but clearing all my cookies seems to have helped a lot.
