The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 150 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2250cR
There is really no reason at all to worry about this challenge today. I really mean that. If you look below you will see the "Grunt Spelunking" challenge which is asking you to score a thousand kills on the level Glacier in Firefight Matchmaking. That pretty much does it. You will be playing about nine games for that challenge but this one will be completed by the second game. The other challenges will likely be taken care of too, so no need to worry about them either.


J.H. Death Machine - Kill 40 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Grenade Launcher. - 2000cR
It always pains me to see this challenge on days like today since they path to completing it is so at odds with "Grunt Spelunking." As well, I am also not a terribly big fan of the Grenade Launcher to begin with. Now, you will need to venture into the Firefight playlist and aim for Arcadefight. One of the loadout options is the Grenade Launcher and you will want to constantly use that and no other weapon if you plan on scoring these kills. Forty should not take too long but make sure that you aim for clusters of enemies. Try to pick Glacier so you can work on "Grunt Spelunking."

Grunt Spelunking - Kill 1000 enemies on Glacier in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
Glacier is a very enjoyable map, to be honest. There are many places where you can get great sightlines on every single part of the map (almost). A thousand kills will take some work to complete though. You get about a hundred and twenty kills per game so expect this challenge to take about nine games to complete.. I would go with Gruntpocalypse or 2X Score Attack for this challenge. Since this is on Glacier, Sniper Attack is also always a good choice. Just make sure that you stick to the Score Attack playlist so you can easily choose this map.

Survivor - Earn 9 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
A spree in Firefight Matchmaking is earned when you score ten kills in a row without dying. You can get up to five sprees, four short of what you need for this challenge, by scoring fifty kills without dying. You should be scoring these quite easily so this challenge should take little time to complete. This challenge does not stipulate just Killing Sprees so weapon and other miscellaneous sprees will also count. Once you hit fifty kills I would just die so you can start those sprees over and have this done in no time flat.
