Halo 4 War Games Daily and Weekly Challenges - 3/25/13

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

The Challenges:
Spartan Takedown - Kill 15 Players. - 3000 XP
These are easy, easy, easy credits. You only need to get fifteen kills today in War Games, overall for this challenge. Not in a single game or in a specific mode, just over all. For most people, this is probably a single game's worth of kills depending on the playlist. You will definitely be playing a few games for the "Raise The Flag" challenge and that will pretty much fully take care of this challenge. Even if you are not going for that challenge, just play a standard slayer game or jump into the Grifball playlist. In the end, this challenge should take no work to complete at all and, as I said above, just be easy free credits. Get to it.

Raise The Flag - Win 2 matchmaking Capture the Flag matches. - 5000 XP
Well, you need to win a bunch of Slayer games this week for the "We Are The Champions" Weekly Challenge. Along with that, you will need two Capture The Flag wins for this challenge as well. Regardless, 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. Two games should not take terribly long to win so enjoy these very easy credits. They will probably not stay like this for too long.

The Weekly Challenges:
We Are The Champions - Win 20 matchmaking Slayer Matches. - 20000 XP
Well, good thing this is a Weekly Challenge since winning twenty games in a single day would take a crap load of work. Slayer gametypes are in the Big Team Infinity Slayer, Infinity Slayer, SWAT, and the Crimson DLC playlist. Join-session-in-progress games will count for this challenge if you win them so you will hopefully get lucky and placed on some winning teams. Personally, I prefer the gametypes with smaller teams since that gives me more control and better chance of being on the winning team. Free-for-all is something that I would straight out avoid. Expect that this may take up to forty games to complete over the week so aim for at least three wins a day.

Deft Hand - Earn 40 Combat Skills Medals. - 10000 XP
Combat Skill medals include the Killjoy, Headcase, From the Grave, Reload This, and Showstopper medals. You need forty of these overall this week and so you will need to hit about seven a day. 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. You will likely not need to go out of your way for this challenge, just do the Daily challenges and these will handle themselves.
