Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 12/13/12

The Challenges:
Up Close And Personal - Earn 5 CQC Medals in a single match. - 2550 XP
Close quarters combat medals, as discussed before, include the Beat Down, Bull True, and Melee medals but still on damn clue why these do not include the Assassination medal. Now, scoring five in a game should be pretty simplistic. You will want a close quarters map and a lot of targets so something like FFA Regicide is actually preferred for this challenge. Most of your kills will be Melees but if you end up behind an enemy remember to tap the melee button instead of holding it to perform a Beat Down instead of an assassination. Gametypes like Oddball on smaller maps are a good idea as well.

Dominator - Win 3 matchmaking Dominion matches. - 1600 XP
Dominion is a gametype in which there are three bases which two teams will fight over control of and whichever teams reaches the score limit first wins. Personally, I think most of the maps for this mode are not fully developed and lead to subpar gameplay (they probably just need to be simplified some) but Vortex seems to play the best and controlling the central base is essential. Regardless, three wins in this playlist is the name of the game today so be prepared to spend some time at it. Having a good team is absolutely essential as you need to communicate and know when to attack and defend the bases. This can take well more than three games so have some matchmaking time set aside.
