Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 1/18/13

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

The Challenges:
In the Back - Assassinate 3 Players. - 1400 XP
Assassinations are not too hard to come by and, typically, for these challenges you need a bunch. This time, however, you just need three assassinations overall. Now, to score an assassination, you need to go behind an enemy and hold down the melee button. An animation will then trigger that needs to mostly complete for the assassination to count. Now, Regicide, which is currently the Infinity Challenge main playlist, is a probably the best spot to score assassination in any sort of Slayer game since Team Slayer Pro was taken away. Generally, however, you will want to stick to objective games since you can then hide and ambush people. Expect this to take two to three games to complete.

Up Close and Personal - Earn 5 CQC Medals in a single match. - 2550 XP
There are three close quarters combat medals in Halo 4 and they are the Melee, Beatdown, and Bulltrue Medals, though Assassinations do not count for this challenge even though they should. Now, you need to score five in a single game today, which you can expect to be a bit of a challenge as much of the combat in Halo 4 is done at range. Flood is typically the one exception to this as. That is a great place to get Melee and Bulltrue Medals if you are either good with the shotgun or really good at being a flood. You can probably take in about five or six a game but expect this challenge to take about two to three games to complete since shit happens. Regicide is another good option as long as you are on a small map, but you are less likely to hit five than in Flood.
