Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 1/23/13

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

The Challenges:
Got Backup - Get 12 kills with a Secondary Weapon. - 1250 XP
Secondary weapons in Halo 4 include the Magnum Pistol, the Plasma Pistol, and the Bolt Shot. You are only really likely to score kills with the Magnum and Boltshot as the Plasma Pistol will likely just end up getting you killed. If you are on a map with a lot of narrow corridors, the Bolt Shot is best but use the Magnum if you are in more wide open spaces. Now, you just need twelve kills over the day, not in a single game. You will be playing at least nine games for the "Raise the Flag" challenge and probably a few more for "Dominator" which means that you just need to score two or so kills with a secondary weapon per game to finish this challenge off.

Raise the Flag - Win 9 matchmaking Capture the Flag matches. - 2750 XP
Again, 343i really seems to only care about scoring wins, which is somewhat sad. And, this challenge on top of the "Dominator" challenge is pretty much bullshit. However, this bullshit will continue throughout the week so get used to it. Capture the Flag is a gametype where you need a communicative team to help you capture the flag, but also defend you own flag. The one shitty thing about capture the flag is that it often goes down to the time limit with no one getting the required five scores to win it. Most of the maps are simply too big for that. So, one way to speed it up is to pick smaller maps. Now, I would suggest taking at multiple breaks if you are having difficulty scoring wins. Expect that this challenge may take up to eighteen games to complete.
