Your Daily Dose

Reach: Weekly Challenge. Complete all of the Challenges for a given day - Complete.
20,343 cR.




They think that 343 thing is so cute.

Well, you see all the other things I had to do today to get this done. I quit a game to join another with just enough time to get my last Perfectionist Round in for the day and I finally got Hell's Janitor. Long day but worth it to get almost 100k cR for my Noble 6. Got to get him up to the top rank before the server shuts down in 2016. I know that sounds like a long way off, but it isn't.

Night.

Just Hold On

Reach: Daily Challenge. Complete 15 Rounds in Firefight Matchmaking without dying - Complete.
2000 cR.



At first I thought this meant 5 consecutive games without dying at all. I am very glad I was wrong. This took up a whole lot of today. And when everyone is hiding because they don't want to risk dying, then the Round does not get completed. I actually had to quit a match because I knew I would not get the ONE LAST ROUND I needed in time for the deadline. Hate quitting.

But getting this done meant I got the weekly.

Streaky Shooter

Reach: Daily Challenge. Earn 5 sprees in multiplayer Matchmaking - Complete.
2850 cR.




OK, now this is why I have this blog.
In matchmaking I never get sprees. I suck. I got one killing spree in 4 sets of SWAT today. Then I went to Grifball. We all know how it goes in Grifball for me. Then I went to Living Dead. Shot Guns and Swords, figured I had good odds. Nope, I was still sucking. Then, on the second to last round of the game I had decided was going to be my last for the night, I got lucky as shit.

I start Living Dead as Human. I got in two nice shots with the shotgun, and then I found two dead stick zombies. 12 gauge knock out for them. Then I see them pop up across the field. I pick them off with the .45. That gets me a killing spree and a zombie killing spree. I run over there to find them again and I use my shot gun, I get my shot gun spree and then knock out a couple more and for the first time ever, Hell's Janitor. Very happy with that even if I did have to use 6 kills on 2 dead sticks. I'm happy because I have never earned Janitor before and this will let me finish up tonight and get the weekly challenge of a daily dose. Going to eat some groceries and get back to the game.

Hey, seriously, I see 4 to 6 visits for almost every post. If someone is reading this and NOT just to turn it in to state's evidence, give me a shout, we should play.
Peace!
Wait... Peace???? Fuck it. WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cannon Fodder

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 100 infantry-class foes in the Campaign today - Complete.
2250 cR.




Another skewed quantity vs reward. I got it done in Noble Actual on Heroic.

Nightfall

Anyone else think this Master Chief collection is total bullshit?
Anyone else think Nightfall looks like some half assed bullshit that Microsoft is throwing out to milk Halo for all it is worth before we all flock to Destiny?

One Spartan Army

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 400 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - Complete.
2000 cR.




Well, for once the quantity was finally up to a challenge level, but the pay was just like 100 enemies. More disappointment from Halo.

Up Close and Personal

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 8 enemies with close quarters combat in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - Complete.
2600 cR.



This was a simple issue in Grifball. Once again, nothing but ball hogs who think it is funny to keep punching people with their super powers than trying to score. I got in one bomb, I feel good.

Light Fare

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - Complete.
3000 cR.




I have been way bad about this over the last 3 days. Have been getting stuff done, but have not been putting it down.
So this one was nice and easy. One round of 2x Score Attack on Holdout that I did not even live through and I got all the kills I needed.

The T. G. Opposition

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 40 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Shotgun - Complete.
2000 cR.



This took just a couple rounds. I like the shotgun, but it only gives me sprees in FF Matchmaking. I need sidearm and automatic kills now to get my commendations up to max. Glad this gets in the challenge rotation so I can have fun.


I'll post now that I did not finish the vehicle challenge. After a day at the lake all I could do was die watching TV. Thank the Gods my weekly is already done. Kat Out!

Survivor

Reach: Daily Challenge. Earn 9 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game - Complete.
2000 cR.




This was actually difficult. But when a FF match came down with just me and Desert Punk 762 I had more targets. Killing Sprees, Hammer Spree, couple Shotgun Sprees. Finally got it and got paid.

Blastin' and Relaxin'

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach - Complete.
2343 cR.




Not a bad day to get some headshots and then go ape shit in Firefight.

Got to tell you about this. Was playing Firefight with Desert Punk 762. He got splattered by a Hunter. I killed the Hunter and then started T-Bagging Punks body. Punk yells at me "DICK!" and at that precise moment my character of Buck takes a shot and replies "Yep, felt that."

Ride the Wave

Reach: Weekly Challenge. Complete 200 waves in Firefight Matchmaking - Complete.
15,000 cR.




This was simple enough, gods knows it is hard to get me out of Firefight. I already had Inclement Weather. Now all I need the credits for is making out my rank. As I start getting more and more medals into Onyx, that should pay out nicely.

Armory Completion - Reach

Reach.
I have finally saved up the 2 million credits and purchased the Armor Effect "Inclement Weather". I now have 100% of the armory unlocked and purchased. Including the bonus items form Halo: Waypoint that you get by completing certain tasks in 3, ODST and Reach.
Lament, because of when I bought my 360 and Reach I did not get to join with Bungie and get my name ribbon effects, flaming blue helmet, or shadow skull helmet. So be it. I have learned my lesson. I got some spiffy stuff with 4, but not Locus and I have just upgraded to Special Edition for Destiny. We will see what Halo does for us in the future.

Headshot Honcho

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 9 enemies with headshots in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - Complete.
2160 cR.



This did take a couple rounds to accomplish. As I said, today was an off day for me. But I got this done and finally got the 2 million cR I was trying to build up.

Clip it - Share it

Reach: Daily Challenge. Make a clip from your local files and upload it to your file share - Incomplete.
1cR.



I did not do this. There is a reason that there is a fucking achievement for doing this, so that people just getting the game will know it can be done and will look into how to do it and learn the process.
Why didn't I do it? Because of the same problem with Katanarama. I am not going to do this shit for the bonus of 1 more credit. It is just stupid.

Katanarama

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 1 enemies using the Energy Sword in Firefight Matchmaking (sic) - Complete.
2000 cR.



2k for one stab with a loadout weapon. Who thought this up? Why does this merit 2k cR? 30 Spartans for 2100 cR, 1 grunt for 2000 cR. The inequality of these tasks is a slight against the intelligence of the players.

Fire When Ready

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 30 players in multiplayer Matchmaking - Complete.
2100 cR.




This actually took a while for me today. I was really off and two of my matches ended with only 2 kills for me. Yuck.

Neuroscience

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 10 enemies with headshots in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - Complete.
2400 cR.



I was rather upset with myself when I spoiled my headshot spree with an assassination, but I just could not resist that stupid prick backing up towards me who was blissfully ignorant.

I will mark down here that I will not be attempting Deathless Package. I do not do Legendary without dying.

Pass the Rock

Reach: Daily Challenge. Earn 20 assists today in multiplayer Matchmaking - Complete.
1500 cR.




I gather that this reference is to basketball, or some such, but it feels like a drug reference. Even if it is the former, that is equally insulting. Keep sports out of my bloodshed you fucking whores at 343.

This was also difficult to accomplish in SWAT.

Shootin' and Lootin'

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - Complete.
2000 cR.




Since I am trying to get the 500 player kills for the week, most of this was in SWAT and Slayer.

Crap and Double Crap

Yesterday I completed all of the daily challenges for Reach, yet it took me so long into the morning today I failed to record them.
If I remember it was
Demon: 40 Elites
Blastin' and Relaxin': Kill 200 enemies
Light Fuse: Kill 75 enemies with grenades.
I could be wrong, but I don't care enough to dig into it. All told I make almost 150k yesterday towards my last armory item. Continue mission.
