The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR
So, this is the lone Firefight challenge today and it will take some effort to complete since none of the other challenges have you venturing into the Firefight Matchmaking playlists. I would head for Score Attack as you get kill faster and with less work. On average, you will get a hundred and twenty to a hundred and twenty-five kills per game. Stick to 2X Score Attack and Gruntpocalypse are the easiest gametypes. One game will be enough to complete this challenge. Aim for small maps to speed everything along.

Up Close and Personal - Kill 8 enemies with close quarters combat in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2600cR
Close quarters combat kills are typically kills made via the Shotgun, Gravity Hammer, Energy Sword, Melee, or Assassination. Now, the best playlist in which to get these kills is the Grifball playlist. Grifball will allow you to get all of those except for Shotgun kills since there is simply no Shotgun in Grifball. You should be hitting probably around thirty kills per game in Grifball so eight kills will take very little time at all. To be honest, you probably will not even need to go into Grifball for this so do it last if you do not get it done while working on the "Five-time Champ" challenge.

Sweep the Leg - Perform an Assassination in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
This is a simple enough challenge that I would bet that most players could probably complete with every other game they play. To score an assassination, you need to get behind an opponent and hold the melee button. This will trigger and assassination animation that needs to mostly complete for the assassination to count. I would head for Team Snipers were you can easily sneak around people and score assassination. Attempts on elevations and in the air will go faster so aim for those if you keep getting show-stopped. Go for this one, as well, after you complete "Five-time Champ."

Five-time Champ - Win 5 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 4343cR
Well, time to win some games, right? That is what this challenge is all about. Now, you need five wins today, which may very well take up to ten games to complete. The trick to scoring wins in Reach is to give yourself the right set up. First off, don't play games that have more than two teams (or FFAs). More teams automatically lowers you chances of winning. Stick with gametypes you enjoy and are comfortable with as you will likely play better in them. Finally, play with teammate you know and normally win with since you are more likely to win that way.
