Yet another needless removal from H1 - the lack of campaign medals when you complete each level on normal or above. Not only does it look cool, but it's satisfying, and there's the fun of trying to get them all.

Sooo, let's have them back this time, eh?

I agree, you can prove to people you've completed it on legendary or not.

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

Yes, it was an essential bragging tool, even though I never completed Halo 1 it straight on legendary, only Heroic. Which I never bothered doing on Halo 2, even though its more fun on Heroic!

I want campaign medals back.

If you don't got it, you want it. If you got it, you want more of it. Of course if you don't know what it is, it's hard to get any in the first place.

The campaign medals were definetly one of those tiny little things which just help add that tiny bit of extra - pow! to fantastic game. Sure they were pointless, as they didn't do anything, and it's not like I needed proof to show that I beat Halo 2 on legendary. The medals just were a nice little something extra.

YES!! This was one of the things that pissed me off about Halo 2. The medals were a nice touch in Halo CE. The sence of acomplishment after you get em all was just great. And with the XBL gamer points they could do lots of stuff. Like 350 Gamer Point for getting them all. 75 for each level in legendary. Stuff like that. So you can just look at a persons achevements and know, " Wow! That guy got all the medals! What an awesome person!" I also agree with more detailed stats, like Libarate said.

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

I've beaten both on Legendary... it's worth the effort.

But still, unless you complete every level on legendary, there's no way of seeing which levels you have completed. And even then it's resigned to a small piece of text in an out of the way menu that rarely gets looked at. Medals make it much more obvious. And naturally there's the achievement thing I mention above.

Hey, maybe they'll have a medal for each level on each difficulty.. Some people do that.

The two aren't mutually exclusive. And I want to see it in game, regardless of whether I have live or not, instead of on my gamer profile.

The idea of tying it it into the achievements system/gamerscore is a good one however.

<~~~Beat both on legendary.

Halo: CE, I beat it several times in legendary without ever touching the shotgun. That makes the library a lot more fun.
