Subject: c/d bungie got a little carried away making the medals for this game

in addition to several medals that are unobtainable, there are a lot of seemingly unnecessary ones. 15-kill streaks with a 4-shot laser and sticky grenades? seems like overkill to me.

"In Halo 3 not all 50's were good players, but all good players were 50's."

Your opinion is invalid.

Putting lots of work into areas of a game that don't require it is Bungie's specialty.

There are unobtainable medals?

The Laser one requires multi kills, or for you to pick up another laser. The sticky one also requires you to search for extra Plasma Grenades.

An infection medal is impossible to get.
Oh right yeah, my bad.

Brains is possible, although highly unlikely.

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

I thought brains was impossible? 12 players, 3 are zombies, so that leaves 9 humans up for infection.

you're right. it is impossible.

Yes. In addition to the infection medals, I believe some of the Bungie.net medals are broken or currently unobtainable. I know "Corrected" and "Sunburst" are possible, they're just too much to expect from a player in one life. I doubt anyone has ever gotten a legit corrected. Sunburst is easier done in Splockets but still ridiculously hard.

It's been too long since I played Living Dead, I thought it was like Halo 3 with 13 players. My bad... again.

I <3 Halo:Reach - amazingly fun and best campaign + amazing Soundtrack
I <3 Halo 3:ODST - best soundtrack + Firefight + Coastal Highway and Mombassa Streets, amazingly unique campaign.
I <3 Halo 3 - best multiplayer levels + Forge + best Custom Games + soundtrack
I <3 Halo 2 - amazing huge fun campaign + soundtrack + Fun multiplayer
I <3 Halo: CE - started it all

The infection ones are just Custom Game medals.

It is completely possible to get a Red Menace or Sunburst in Action Sack, and A corrected in Elite Slayer.
