Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 1/26/13

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

The Challenges:
Deft Hand - Earn 5 Combat Skill Medals. - 1500 XP
Combat Skill medals, as we all probably do not remember due to them being so obscure, include Killjoy, Headcase, From the Grave, Reload This, and Showstopper medals. You need four of these overall today and they do not need to be in a single game. Use precision weapons (DMR, BR, Light Rifle, Sniper) to score Headcase (headshot on a running target) medals and then use grenades when you are near death for the From the Grave medal. Reload This is pretty much dependent on the other player but people need to reload their weapons. Killyjoys and Showstopper are a bit more rare and harder to get so do not focus on them. Should take a game or two to complete. Playing matches for the "Dominator" and "Baller" challenges will take care of this one, so no need to go out of your way for it.

Baller - Win 9 matchmaking Oddball matches. - 2750 XP
Yup, still with this same bullshit even though it is Saturday, upon which the challenges normally calm down a little. Not today so be ready to play these games and the ones for the "Dominator" Weekly Challenge. Oddball is, at least, a quicker gametype as it is played on a smaller map and it is easier to hold onto the ball as it can be passed (using the throw grenade button). Again, you will need a coordinated team when stepping into this playlist as they need to know how to guard the ball carrier but also, most of all, where to guard the ball carrier. The ball carrier always needs an exit so the other team does not easily retrieve the ball. Remember, be prepared to play well more than nine games.
