Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 1/8/13

The Challenges:
Deft Hand - Earn 5 Combat Skill Medals. - 1300 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" challenge will take care of this one, so no need to go out of your way for it.

Dominator - Win 9 matchmaking Dominion matches. - 2750 XP
Well, this is a hell of a lot better than having to score nine wins of Dominion which would not have been surprising. It seems that the challenges typically get easier on Friday and Saturday when people likely have more time, which makes no sense at all. Regardless, Dominion is a gametype where there are three bases which you can capture and holding them for a certain amount of time gives you points. The first team to four-hundred points wins. Having a team that knows that maps and how to hold the bases is a must for this gametypes. If you have a lot of back and forth, the game will go on longer than it needs to. Now, you can also capture all the bases and then, if you kill the entire other team, the game will end with your victory. Just three wins today, which should not take long.
