Halo 4 Campaign Weekly Challenges - 10/7/13

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

The Challenges:

That's No Moon! - Complete Requiem solo on Legendary difficulty. - 3000 XP
I thought we were doing LASO challenges. They need to make up their damn minds over there so we can get used to playing through these levels on a certain difficulty. Personally, I think this kind of sucks, as we could get more interesting Weekly Campaign Challenges, but alas. Requiem is actually a decently long level and making it harder on yourself is not a great idea. All of this level is just facing your standard Covenant forces so there are no special techniques except to make sure you utilize you armor abilities and just take it slow. Another thing to be mindful of is that you use appropriate weapons at appropriate times. I.e. do not waste a rocket on a single Grunt that you can just go melee. As well, you can die as much as you want, so do not be afraid to fail and restart a section. This isn't LASO. thankfully.

Halo 4 War Games Monthly Challenge - 10/7/13

The Monthly Challenge:
To The Victor Go The Spoils - Win 50 matchmaking War Games matches. - 17500 XP
You knew it was going to come back to this challenge, right? Though, a month without it was rather nice, but I really just don't like the idea of Monthly Challenges that much. Just not a lot you can do with them. Regardless, here we go. Eighty games also means that you need to win about two games a day this month. That will put you at sixty as long as you play every single day. In reality, they will probably give challenges each day requiring that many games and kills, so this should be partially done for us.

Halo 4 War Games Daily and Weekly Challenges - 10/7/13

The Challenges:

Drop Bears! - Assassinate 2 Players in a single match. - 1200 XP
As usual, like every time we get this challenge, you will need to score two assassination in a single game. You can trigger an assassination animation by holding the melee button behind an enemy. The animation needs to mostly complete for it to count. Now, Team Slayer Pro had been the best playlist for me to get assassinations, but that is now gone so we need other playlists. I have had luck in FFA Regicide on maps like Haven or Adrift (more Haven than the other one) which means stick to smaller maps. Dominion might be worthwhile for some, but that maps are much larger so you will likely need to hide in the bases.

Exterminate! Exterminate! - Kill every member of the opposing team at least once in a match. - 1500 XP
This is what we call a poorly described challenge. When this says to kill every member of the opposing team in a match, it fails to mention that this need to be done three times. You can somewhat treat this like an actually Extermination from Reach, but just spread out over an entire game. As well, there is a commendation that tracks this. Now, you do need to kill every member of the opposing team, just not at all once. This probably happens more often than not without you even noticing it. You will want to stick to gametypes with a low number of players per team. This means Team Slayer Pro, Infinity Slayer, or SWAT. Each one of those gametypes has teams of four players maximum. I'm not entirely sure how people joining and leaving the game effect this stat, but most likely you will need to have killed every player who is on the team once the game ends. Will take at least three games to complete.
