The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
Well, I am somewhat on the fence as to whether or not this challenge will be completed today. The only other Firefight Matchmaking challenge is the "J.H. Death Machine" challenge which has you attempting to score forty enemy kills with the Grenade Launcher. Most likely, that will only take a single game but since it is in the standard Firefight playlist your chances of getting a hundred and twenty kills are somewhat diminished. Be ready to play a second game just to finish off this challenge.

Cook 'em, Clean 'em! - Kill 20 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking while you're jet-packing. - 2400cR
So, to score a kill while jet-packing, which earns you a specific medal called "Firebird", you need to be actively jet-packing when the kills is scored. Not just in the air and not falling, but actively using the jet-pack. For grenades, using the jet-pack when the opponent is hit, not when the grenade was thrown. Now, regular Team Slayer or Multi Team is likely your best option for this challenge since those playlists tend to have gametypes that allow jet-packs in the loadout selection. Probably take three or four games to complete. Complete this challenge first, as it is the most time consuming.

J.H. Death Machine - Kill 40 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Grenade Launcher. - 2000cR
So, this challenge will actually be challenging today. I know, shocking, isn't it? Arcadefight if your best option for this challenge as it features the Grenade Launcher as one of the loadout options. This will likely take at a single game to complete but, people will be stealing your kills all the time due to the slow fire-rate of the Grenade Launcher, be prepared for two games. Remember that the grenades have some bounce to them unless you directly shoot them into an enemy. Grunts will be the easiest kills for you to score so try and get them while they spawn.

The Magic Number - Complete 7 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 3000cR
Well, this challenge is pretty much alone today, sparing the "Cook 'em, Clean 'em" challenge up above. Completing seven games, however, is pretty easy and will not take much time at all. The choice of playlist and gametype are completely up to you but make sure you complete the "Cook 'em, Clean 'em" challenge first. Remember that quitting, disconnecting, or getting booted from a game will cause it to not count towards this challenge. As well, having this happen a lot can cause you to incur a credit ban so be careful. Just try to have fun and play with friends. Can't hurt.
