Are there any maps or game types that lend themselves to the Halo 2 "Decorated Solider" achievement?

Get awarded at least 8 different medals in one non-team game.For anyone who has the achievement, do you know which medals you did it with?

Thank you!

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

You have to get one of each medal type in the game.

Ok. If I get, say, a Double Kill and then a Triple Kill, does that count as two unique medals, or just one? I would guess one.

The problem is finding a non-team game, that isn't just rockets, snipers, or swords, with vehicles, that lasts longer than a few minutes or 15-25 kills.

I guess I could create a limitless slayer FFA game on Coagulation, but then nobody shows up. What should I do? Do I just wait long enough, do I need to set up my own, "dedicated," Halo 2 server, or should I just start sending a ton of game invites?

Thanks...

Doulble Kill counts as one medal.
Triple Kill counts as one medal and so on.
Same thing goes for Killing Spree, Running Riot...

Thank you!

I just got the achievement a few minutes ago. There was a free-for-all slayer match on Zanzibar, and luckily it didn't progress too fast, so I had enough time to do what I had to do.

I got:

Double Kill (splattering with a Ghost)
Killing Spree (splattering/shooting with a Ghost)
Hijack (some guy tried to drive a Ghost through a very tight spot ... not smart for him!)
Splatter
Snipe (Zanzibar worked great for that)

Stick (Um, ha, the guy wasn't moving. At all. But people kept parking Warthogs and then getting in the turret position, so I probably would have just stuck one of them had it not been for him. Whatever, I didn't arrange for him to hold still while I stuck a grenade to his face or anything, so I'll take it.)

Beat Down
Assassinate

Again, thanks!

In my opinion the best game to obtain this achivement is a Capture The FLAG, in fact killing the flag carrier, stole the flag and sign a point are three medals easily (exept for the last one) to obtain
