Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 1/5/13

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

The Challenges:
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.

Rolling Thunder - Earn 7 Killing Spree medals. - 1600 XP
A Killing Spree in War Games is earned when you score five kills in a row. As this challenge stipulates "Killing Spree medals" other sprees such as weapon and miscellaneous sprees will not count. Now, you do not need seven in a single game, just overall but even that can be a bit of a task with the current state of War Games Matchmaking. First off, Dominion has been the best gametype for me in terms of getting sprees, especially on Vortex where you can get in a Wraith and just sit back and defend your base while attacking the middle base. I would expect to get two or so sprees per game so this one is pretty much taken care of after a few games. Flood and Regicide can also be good playlists for Sprees as well as Big Team Infinity Slayer if you get luck and get a tank.
