Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 9/6/13

Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the challenges? Post them down below! 

The Challenges:
Up Close And Personal - Earn 5 CQC Medals in a single match. - 2000 XP
CQC, or close quarters combat, medals in Halo 4 are very limited and only include the Melee, Bulltrue, and Beatdown medals. You would think that Grifball would be a great playlist for this challenge but Energy Sword and Gravity Hammer kills do not yield any CQC medals, which is somewhat idiotic. However, if you get control of the ball, you can easily score some Bulltrue and Melee medals. I was able to earn six CQC medals in a single game (as well as a bunch of kills and multikills) and get this challenge done in no time flat. As you might think, Grifball in Halo 4 will require some transition from Reach, but not much. Timing is about the same, so have fun. You can also try gametypes like Oddball and such to score these medals with some ease. Complete "Raise The Flag" first.

Raise The Flag - Win 5 matchmaking Capture the Flag matches. - 4000 XP
The experience points reward for this challenge as doubled, as I think they are doing some sort of effort to get people playing this again. Who knows. Regardless, it is great for anyone still doing the challenge and trying to level their SPARTAN-IV. 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 DLC, Team Doubles, and Team Objective playlists.
