Which ones are you stuck on?
For me, any that are kill x number of enemies, usually Score Attack and SniperFight.
Most of the finish x map with x skulls on, I do on the very first mission.
If its get x number of points on a mission, I use Mission 8 New Alexandria and kill Banshees and Drop Ships with all skulls on.
MP Challenges, I usually go to SWAT for x number of kills, Team Slayer for AA challenges and Invasion for Assists.

I tend to go to the same levels and gametypes to get challenges done. Unless they make me go for another level, I will do whatever is the fastest legitimate way to get the challenge done.
I tend to get the FF ones done quickly. The MP ones, especially the assist ones can drag out a little bit too much. Depends on luck too.
Just did the weekly for a 19k cR game, just barely pushing me to Colonel G3 with 415 credits to spare. http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/default.aspx?player=Mr Kwatz
I have all the armory pieces I want now, so I'm just buying up helmets. Should have them all by the time I hit General G1, or before.

Thanks!
I'm alive, it wasn't the worst storm ever, and definitely an oddity for November, but bleh, tornados are common around here.
Now to get these dailies done sometime today between cooking, eating and farting.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone who lives in the U.S, for everyone else, happy Thursday!

Thanks!
I love the clips of sniper shots where you just shut someone up that should have killed you.
I have one coming where I just turn after killing a guy no shields and just blain a kid instantly like his head was a huge magnet. Feels good man.

After all these challenges and points I'm still on Colonel... Damn this is a drag.

I am not American, but in the spirit of the day, and against the spirit of negativity that so often chokes the goddamn life out of this and other HaloGAF threads, here are 7 things I am thankful for:
1. I am thankful for the Arena, both for the thinking behind it and for its slow development into the best available playlist.
2. I am thankful for the grenade launcher, the Reach magnum, and the DMR, three weapons new to this game that I cannot imagine now doing without.
3. I am thankful that Reach's campaign is the best in the series.
4. I am thankful that the MLG playlist is just around the corner.
5. I am thankful for Countdown, the clear and standout winner of Best New Map.
6. I am thankful that there are three proper real actual noble new maps coming on Tuesday, and especially that one was built for 4v4 and another designed at least in the spirit of Valhalla.
7. I am thankful for HaloGAF and all who sail in her, even the cranky ones who complain all the livelong day while ploughing hour after hour of their lives into the online play they apparently resent and despise so very much.
Big kiss!

Shake Appeal likes everyone from HaloGaf NANANA! Shake Appeal and the HaloGAF community are sitting on a tree kissing.Shake Appeal said:
Finished all daily todays. I only have to do 7 more Dailies to get the 16000cR woot!
My daughter appreciated today's Challenges very much. She played through Winter Contingency on Normal and got a 4k+ cR payout - her largest so far - and got promoted to a Warrant Officer. She's saving for Cortana as a Firefight voice, so this got her a decent chunk of the way there.
Today's are a nice mix, I really like the daily variety like this. And slaughtering Moa is always fun. :lol

I'm 8/16 towards the weekly now. Hopefully the rest of the week is easy.
I like having ain't variety in the challenges, instead of simply going into standard matchmaking.

Big love in. <3
HaloGAF is awesome, and I am very thankful for the years of enjoyment everyone has brought me.
Fun games tonight, but I'm unhappily surprised by the fact players can get up onto the very high mountain edge to the left of blue-base (as you face it) on Haemorrhage.
The kill roof should prevent that or it there shouldn't be a standable ledge there at all.
Made for a satisfying kill-joy mind you.

Agreed.
Elite Slayer should permanently placed on larger maps like Boneyard, Spire, Paradiso, and Hemorrhage. I played one on Hemorrhage and it's more enjoyable than getting it in places like Zealot or Swordbase where it becomes sticky central. The amount of Ghosts and Armor Lock blasts makes it comical, but everything seems basic.

What the hell, how did I never know about Green thumb controller setup before. Aside from jump being on A it's awesome, jumping doesn't seem as important in reach as prior Halos anyway.
I think I found a new control scheme to get used to.

It seems like it may take some getting used to, but the bumper is right there. I'm still getting accustomed in campaign, I'll see how it works in practice here soon.
MMaRsu said:Please please please put in a playlist without any fucking forge created maps. They are shit, I am sick of them.
Need this mappack NOW
Who am I kidding, this will never happen. Nevertheless I am sick of them.
They wouldn't be so bad if the spawns weren't complete shit in them.

10/16, and I don't think I'm going to be able to get at the box with the family here. I'm away tomorrow, so this challenge is going to be close.

Yup, even if we disagree, I'm glad there's a place we can all come to break out Halo gameplay mechanics into frightening detail.

13/16 for the week. So I'll knock off the weekly tomorrow or Sunday depending on the MP Challenges.
Had a good time romping through Campaign missions today killing Grunts. Unique ones like the Moa slaughter are a lot of fun. (Jetpacking is what I skipped though.)
Nah. I got enough jepacking trying for the MP version the other day. It's not fun so I'll skip it. I just need 3/8 over the next two days so I'll wait for more appealing ones.Alienshogun said:

Just refresh the part in Exodus where you first get the jetpack killing grunts and Jackels 3 times. It went really fast, 14/16 here.

I have to say that I'm thankful for the challenges Bungie put out today, they were nice and varied and fun.
Earlier today, the 360 gave an error message (E71) when I booted it not a good sign.
A call to Xbox support and a session unplugging and plugging in cables later, it worked again.
Just now: RRoD. It's dead, Jim. Third time, and it's finally well outside the warranty period. Time for a slim.
So now I'm scouring Black Friday ads for the best place to pick up a system. Might end up hitting Wal-Mart at midnight.
The best part: I had a spare HDD transfer cable laying around until about six months ago when I pitched it, right before the new 360 was announced. Ideally, I'd like to find a system and a transfer cable. Do stores have them?
I'm going to get this Weekly Challenge if it fucking kills me. :lol
Edit: Fred Meyer at 5am, here I come. :\
