The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
Another Firefight Thursday for everyone! Not really a surprise, I hope, as it is like this every Thursday. Now, this challenge is not at all challenging, even a little. A standard game in the Score Attack playlist will usually yield about a hundred and twenty kills. You will be playing up to four games today for the "Heroic Court" and "More Like in Post" challenges. That means you will be getting almost five-hundred kills. Now, that is a much higher number than a hundred and twenty, obviously, meaning that these kills are taken care of and you are basically just getting free credits. Enjoy!

Heroic Court - Kill 150 enemies on Overlook on Heroic in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1125cR
I'm just now realizing, this should really be the challenge name for Courtyard, not Overlook. Wonder what happened there. Anyway, this is the lone Firefight Matchmaking challenge for today and will likely take you very little time to complete. Overlook is a mediocre map but playable with the right gametype. All though it can be annoying solo, your best bet for this challenge is the Score Attack playlist. Either 2X Score Attack or Gruntpocalypse will give you what you need for this challenge. Either gametype will net you a hundred and twenty or so kills, thirty less than what is needed for this challenge. That means you will need to do two games overall to complete this challenge.


Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 200 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
As you probably know by now, to score headshots in Reach, you need a headshot capable weapon. These include the DMR, the Sniper Rifle, the Magnum Pistol, the Needle Rifle, and the Covenant Focus Beam. Now, two hundred headshots will likely take a single game to complete since you can only score about a hundred and twenty kills per game. I would highly suggest that those games are Gruntpocalypse so you can easily headshot every single enemy you face. Complete "Heroic Court" and "More Like in Post" first as they will probably take care of this challenge for you.

More Like in Post - Kill 150 enemies on Outpost in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2500cR
So after you spend a game or two on Overlook, you get to spend a game or two on Outpost. Outpost really is not one of the better maps unless you have a full team of four, I think, since there are too many places to cover. Solo, it is not enjoyable but can work with the right gametype. Like before, I will suggest that you head to the Score Attack playlist and go for this map. It is the same deal as "Heroic Court" with you only getting a hundred and twenty-five kills a game so expect this challenge to take two games.
