Subject: Anyone ever had a Perfection but not won the match?

I got my first perfection medal yesterday, yeah, yeah, I know. Big Whoop. But here's the issue.

The description of the medal clearly states: WIN a slayer game without dying and at least 15 kills. My team lost 50-47, but I went 20-0.

So is it an oversight? As in when the game was made they made the reasonable assumption that if someone does perform well enough to go at least 15 and 0 then their team will win the match. I suppose it's a fair point. I certainly did my best to win the game, didn't betray, didn't steal kills or yoink and helped my team mates out where I could.

My point is, it doesn't feel right being awarded a Perfection medal when the requirements weren't actually met. It's hardly a 'perfect' game if your team didn't win the match! Obviously it's not a huge complaint, but there you go.

its been like this the whole time. not sure if it is an oversight or not. However I like the fact that it rewards me even if I didn't win, I still most likely did a lot of work to stay alive and get the kills.

Well yeah, I get that. It's not easy to go 20-0. It just feels a bit wrong. Put it this way, I'd much prefer to have won the match as well.

oh, no doubt. I would rather win a match and not get a perfection than get a perfection and lose.

congrats on your first perfection btw

I've gotten perfections in rumble pit where I got second.

Yeah, but technically in rumble pit top half counts as a 'win'.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Yes. I hate playing with randoms but whatever I just tend to deal with it.

Most of my perfections are in losses I think.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

I would have had one in Halo 3, but the medal worked the right way back then and didn't give it to me. Not that "rewarding even though you lost" crap.

You've never needed to win to get the medal, you can lose a team game and still get one.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

This. Mainly because it's much easier to get a perfection when your team isn't getting any kills themselves (therefore it's a more target rich environment), and are mainly only serving as cannon fodder and good for the occasional grenade. I don't think I've ever gotten a perfection playing with really skilled players.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

I think I may have 1 or 2.
