Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 7/13/13

The Challenges:
The Kingslayer - Earn 20 Regicides. - 2000 XP
I hate Regicide, just absolutely hate it. Whenever these challenges come up, I cringe and try to pretend that 343 doesn't hate us. Doesn't always work, though. Now, Regicides are earned when you kill the King in a Regicide match, whether Team or Free-for-all. Unlike other days, you will need twenty Regicides rather than five or so. Whether you play standard Regicide or Team Regicide, slaying the King should be a regular occurrence, though less often in Team Regicide because you have an entire team to contend with. If you find it hard to come by King kills, head to the standard (FFA) Regicide and you can easily rack up the Regicides needed in two or three games (it is not uncommon to get almost ten Regicides a game in Free-for-all).

Raise The Flag - Win 5 matchmaking Capture the Flag matches. - 1500 XP
So, about two weeks ago, this challenge for two less wins was worth almost four times as much experience points. Way to hit us when we are down, 343i. Not only do you make it harder, but you reward us less. Come on. You can do better. 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. You will need to venture into the Capture The Flag playlist for this challenge, obviously, but games can also be had in the Castle DLC, Team Doubles, and Team Throwdown playlists.
