The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
So, how is the Weekly Challenge going? I know it sucks, but luckily today's Daily Challenges are not all that time consuming. This challenge alone, asking you to score a hundred and eighty kills in any game mode of Reach should be taken care of by the "Heroic Overwatch" challenge which has you getting a hundred and twenty five kills in Overlook in Firefight Matchmaking. If you do happen to get that in a single game, you still need to play a bunch for the Weekly Challenge so it should be taken care of. Either way, you will be hitting well over a hundred and eighty kills today.

Heroic Overwatch - Kill 125 enemies on Overlook on Heroic in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR
Most of you have probably played Overlook since it was the only Firefight map playable in the Halo Reach Beta (remember Firefight Versus?) and is also the first area in which you see combat in the campaign. I actually do not like the map that much for Score Attack as the sightlines suck and you can get flanked easily, but since you should be playing in the Firefight playlist for the Weekly Challenge, you will likely be all fine. A hundred and twenty five kills is likely more than you can get in a single game so I would aim for at least two games on this map to satisfy the challenge. May even take three but hopefully not. If need be, after completing a bunch of rounds today, load this map up in Score Attack to finish it off.

House of Pain - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic with Mythic, Tilt, and Thunderstorm on. - 2500cR
So, this is pretty much your typical Campaign challenge with random skulls and that means that the best solution is a speedrun of Nightfall. A guide to speedrunning through Nightfall can be seen here. Now, the Mythic Skull will double the health of all enemies, the Tilt Skull will make them deal more damage and you slightly less, and the Thunderstorm Skull will upgrade all enemies. These skulls will pretty much not affect us at all since we are running through Nightfall and the only enemies we will be killing will be by Beat Downs and Assassinations, which are all one hit kills. The speedrun should only take about seven to ten minutes so this will be done quick.

Came From Behind - Perform 2 Assassinations in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2200cR
Multiple assassinations has never really been a challenge for me as long as I used the right playlist and the right maps. The playlist you should be aiming for is Team Snipers and you want to stick to the smaller maps, like Pinnacle or Uncaged. These maps will allow you to easily flank your enemies, especially since this is Team Snipers. In this gametype, players generally lose focus of anything that is not down their Sniper Scope and this makes them really easy prey, typically. I have gotten up to four assassinations in Team Snipers before, so two should not really be too much of a challenge for anyone.
