The Challenges:
Threading the Needle - Kill 11 Players with a headshot in a single match. - 2650 XP
To score headshots in Halo 4, you need a headshot capable weapon. This means a DMR, BR, Magnum Pistol, Light Rifle, Covenant Carbine, Sniper Rifle, Covenant Beam Rifle, or a Binary Cannon. The BR, DMR, Light Rifle, and Covenant Carbine are all loadout weapons so if you play in playlist that are objective-based or have high kill limits, you should have no problem completing this challenge. If you are having trouble reaching eleven headshots in a single game, head to the SWAT playlist. SWAT will allow you to immediately score headshots and will also allow you easy access to the DMR and BR. Piece of cake from there.

Raise the Flag - Win 3 matchmaking Capture the Flag matches. - 1500 XP
Capture the Flag is pretty much one of the gametypes that changed the least in Halo 4, sparing that the Flag Carrier now has a over-powered Magnum Pistol. The winning score, as well, changed to five instead of three. The downfall of this is that all the games take pretty much the full time limit unless you are on a small map. Now, having a coordinated and communicative team is pretty much key to this one as you need some player going after the flag and some defending your own. Three wins can easily take double the number of games to accomplish so if you fall in with a good team due to matchmaking, try to stay with them. As well, wins from JSIP will count for this challenge.
