The Challenges:
Prediction: Pain - Complete any Campaign Mission on Heroic or higher difficulty with the Famine, Luck and Thunderstorm skulls. - 2500 XP
Well, both of these challenges used to be worth about four-times as much XP. That sucks. So, unlike previous weeks, this challenge is not requiring the same skulls as the mission specific one below. You could simply add on the Famine skull while running through Infinity but I would definitely not recommend it as ammunition is very precious in Halo 4. Instead, as usual, I would recommend that you run through the level Dawn on Heroic difficulty with the indicated skulls. Famine will cause all dropped weapons to have half as much ammunition, the Tough Luck skull will cause all enemies to dodge more often, and the Thunderstorm skull will upgrade all enemies. Adding Tilt and Mythic to that sound like a horrible idea to me for so little credits.

Infinity And Beyond - Complete Infinity on Legendary difficulty with the Mythic, Tilt, Tough Luck and Thunderstorm skulls. - 6117 XP
They are not even making things more difficult now, just the same crap. I think this is proof enough that they have abandoned Halo 4 and are already on Halo 5. As this is our second go around with Infinity they have added the Mythic skull to double all enemy health, the Tilt skull to make enemies harder to kills, the Tough Luck skull so they dodge more, and the Thunderstorm skull so they are all upgraded. This level, as I remember, is almost all Prometheans so having a teammate with you is not at all a bad idea and should make everything easier. Near the end you will get a Mantis but only one at first. Once you are on the deck of Infinity, your teammate will gain access to another one. You need to be careful of the incoming ships as they can wreck the Mantis quite easily.
