While I don't think this feature is necessary it would increase the usability of the Service Record by a lot. The idea deals with the Medals Chest (ranked and social alike). When you hover your mouse over the medal it tells you a description of the medal. Well why not be able to click the medal and it take you to a list of the games you got that medal in, too? Sure sticks and snipes would be dime a dozen, but more "rare" medals would be good to go back and find those game's stats for quick access.

Thoughts? Input?

I nominate this idea for the "we actually did what T_U told us to" award. Thumbs up from me for sure.

Wait, what do you mean actually? I'm a plethora of brilliant ideas.

For the lesser educated, T_U is me. True Underdog is an old handle of mine that I don't use, but it's stuck. I'd rather go by Mr Mousetrap, considering it's my gamertag, but whatever.

The Most Obvious Use for the "X" Button

MALSH

Dude, Pimps at Sea is like Halo, going 30 knots in a harbour, being chased by clippers and Man-o-war. And the Man-o-war are firing.

TU, this proposal is far too political for anyone else to touch. For one, anyone supporting this will lose the entire Flood vote, and they can kiss their standing in the Underground polls goodbye.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

You'll always be TU in our hearts.


At the risk of going off topic, I like this idea. There are a few medals for which it would be nice to look at the game where you got it.

If news got out that Ninjag is really TU, and Mr. Mousetrap, it would crush his standing in the Septagon.

I had a name before TU that many of you don't know about.

Also, the reason I got this idea is because I honestly have no recollection of getting some of the medals in my medal chest (Slice N' Dice - I'm rarely a sword whore), but I'm far too lazy to look them up. I figured for those much, much more skilled than me, this would be more useful (as they probably have more "rare" medals).

Is this really a topic we should be discussing in front of the press?

Great idea, hope it happens.

You say tomato; I say potato.

I think it would be more useful to implement a favorite games section. Why not have a section where you can put 10 of your favorite games to be seen on your service tag home page?

Why not both?

Indeed. The two ideas would actually complement each other well. You see a medal that you're impressed about, click on it to find out which game you got it for, then add that game to your favorites. I can see people doing that for something like a steaktacular medal especially. I'm sure there are some other really cool medals that would be good to display the game for too... but I'm not good enough to actually have any of those. D=

After talking to someone that knows a lot about this stuff, this idea would be pretty hard to do (even though it's a good feature). Because of it's difficulty, it's probably not something that'll be implemented anytime soon, but one can hope, can't they? It had something to do with having to indexing every game you've ever played or something like that. I'm pretty illiterate when it come to all that web development jargon. :P

You could always just bookmark the game. Not very practical but it serves the same purpose.

Well the whole point of my idea is that there's a few medals I got that I don't remember getting.

Also,

That is a great idea. Especially after we get into the thousands with games played. Theres no way to search all those games on our own. I hope this gets added.

The thousands of games you'll have played will be the reason it probably won't get added. The guy I talked to said that it's actually a pretty tricky feature to implement. Maybe if he has time, he can post a reply in here that fully explains it.

Of course I'd still love to see this feature, but if it's too hard to implement, it may not be worth the trouble.

sounds about right... its a good idea, but i think would be to time consuming to implement, ontop of the fact that it will take forever to load if uve played like a thousand games.

I wish I could click on each medal and see maybe a list of the 100 or so players with the highest amount of that medal...mostly I want to know if anyone is a bigger Banshee whore than I am with 264 kills
