I actually had to make an account specifically to reply to this. I was just discussing with my brother how retarded it is that killjoy and first strike are considered top medals. Now, a lot of my friends and I met over the first halo, 11 years ago. So please understand that I've played this game a good bit. I can tell you that first strike doesn't mean ****.
"Oh man, I'm SO going to get first strike in every game tonight!" -no one, ever.
First Strike! Who cares? Within the last 4 days, I've gotten 2 Perfections, NEITHER of which got on the top medals. Does it effect anything? Not exactly. But if you play a great game, you want other people to see it (braggin' rights and all). So when your Untouchable gets replaced with a First Strike, you get kinda pissed. Frankly, I can't even figure out why First Strike, Killjoy and Reload This are even medals. Unless everyone suddenly works out their differences and decides to share the flags, SOMEONE will die first, and the first one to make that kill could be a complete newbie or someone who dreams in first person.
Killjoy? Congrats, you got a kill? It's not like someone with a spree gains extra power. Hell, chances are he's wounded anyway.
And Reload This? I just... I don't even understand this. I GOT YOU WHILE YOU WERE RELOADING, I'M THE GREATEST EVAR.
I think the problem is that there are so many frivilous medals that really don't mean anything.
