Lord Takaa Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 So why is First Strike a Top Medal? I mean really? That an my three "Reload This"? Seriously this needs to change up a bit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockGazm Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Why does it matter? There's no point saying "Oh, I want them to change this" since NOTHING will ever happen. First Strike is a perfectly fine medal, the first one to get a kill gets a small medal reward, as to say "Well done, you've got the first kill for your team".

Azaxx Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I find it annoying how first strike is there ALL the time, not one game is it not there, like seriously someone has to get it so its not special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unease Peanut Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Do you mean top medal in game summary? Because those top medals are based on how rare they are and since you can only get the first strike medal once a game it's pretty rare and thats why its in top all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Biggles Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 he made a valid point @Lord takka also, i think some medals like killing spree shouldn't be high up, killing sprees are very common, and things like overkills are not in the top medals, doesn't make sense.

Ccup-mann Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 As first strike can only be awarded once in a game, it is quite rare and therefore it is top medal. Where as killing spree and double kill are quite common, there under first strike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaxx Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Can i say this, actually why am i asking for permission??? First strike medal is in every match at least once, some times more for CTF/assault or lag outs and invasion. While on the other hand big sprees like frenzy/riots are hardly ever put up and big multikills such as a overkill and so on arnt shown, also i have seen perfections not be in the list wtf, theyre legendary awards, thats what Bungie classified them as... so i think the top medals were good in Halo 3 (dunno about halo 2, didn't play much) but reach's just annoys me SO damn much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carts Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 H2 didnt have medals, but H3 had a way better system for the top medals in Reach. Large multi-kills and long sprees sometimes lose a spot for first strike... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockGazm Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Oh he does? An what would his point be? You can't change something for your sake, and the fact it's a pointless thing to find annoying in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarchy Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I don't actually see anything wrong with either of these being a "top medal." I'm actually good at getting first strikes so I have no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iиversiσn Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I agree Halo: Reach needs better top medals, I would say that killing sprees are pretty popular among many different playlists. However, I would say otherwise for the "Perfection" medal, I would say that they are very rare, but whenever I get them they do not show up in the top medals. Also, for your opinion on the "First Strike" medal, I would say that it should not be a medal shown in the top medals section, but it should be just default. Right before the top medals post-game portion, there should be something that says, (for example), First Strike: xPrO o MaGIIXz (me). -MaGIIXz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Director Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Idk what playlist your playing or how horrible your game went if a "reload this" medal came up, but when you get a killing frenzy it's on the board. Unless someone gets a running riot or higher, that is. Some medals that may not be on the board that should be is the perfection medal or the extermination medal though. I think that 3 killing sprees also deserves some attention. The medals are based on rarity and difficulty in getting them as far as I'm aware. In certain playlists it's almost impossible to get a perfection. Things like Sword Spree and Shotgun Spree shouldn't make the board though, because it's easy to get a spree with a power weapon. As far as first strike goes, the reason it's up there is because only one player can get it once per game, and it's fairly difficult to get. You are competing against the opposing team for the kill but you are also competing against your teammates for it. Killing sprees are difficult to come by for inexperienced players as well. The only way someone who is bad gets one is if they are against someone who is worse. Multikills are up there because they are a combination of luck and skill. The luck part is finding two players close enough together to kill them within four seconds of each other, the skill part is being able to potentially take on two or more opponents at once and come out on top. If no one in the game gets a killing spree or a multikill, it shows the "lesser" medals instead. And that's the way the "Top Medals Board" works.

star_waffle Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 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.

SkItZo1041 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 The medals are stupid in reach Yes, good point. You really contributed... >.> I love how First Strike was worth more than any Extermination, Perfection, Invincible, Be the Bullet, etc.. Considering 4 perfections in my Reach career, and probably thousands of First Strikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinx Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 A medal I've noticed that never gets top medal would be the Legendary medals.. Seriously, someone got a killionaire yet it didn't get top medal, but Killing Spree, First Strike and 2 assassinations did. smh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I don't even look at the top medals once I've finished a game, I merely just look at my stats and what medals I have achieved and take no notice of the top medals. I obviously thought wrong when I thought others did the same, although I find that the top medals usually are shown from the top player of the game.
