Many CC members have been posting what medals they would like to see awarded by the Admins, and I have already seen many posts by Andy saying that more will come later. So to better help them decide which medals that the community members would like, I am starting a list in this thread. I will try to keep this list updated, and if any moderators come by, please update the list if you see that it needs it.

To keep things smoother for me, please provide the following information for your suggestion:

• Medal Title:
• Medal Description:
• Why this medal should be awarded:

^^^from an old thread by Coleman

[Night Strike]

Ah, now I remember that thread. However, based on the current medals, lack designed them to be more hard-to-achieve game based rather than something that's quickly gained.

[AndyDufresne]

The next batch of medals (whenever that is...it could be a ways from now so don't get toooooo antsy, ) should focus on essential medals (I.E. though eliminating Lucky dice and the Double Kill/Running Riot etc are neat, they are more superfluous and can come later I think.)

[PLAYER57832]

Enemies Closer <Kill Your Own Teammate(s), Lose The Game You Did It In,
And Recieve Negative Feedback For It From A Teammate>
[Can No Longer Play Public Team Games]

Problem with this ... sometimes it is a needed and legitimate strategy (to get cards in escalating, for example), but you still might get negged... particularly from less experienced players or if you happen to lose (despite it being a decent strategy)

Live Long <Complete 500 Games>
And Prosper <Win 500 Games>

Cute, but 500 games is WAY too few.... should be more like 5000 or perhaps more.




ALSO, I definitely think there should be some kind of permanent award for anyone who gets conquerer ... maybe even giving the total points the person had at the time. (for this one ONLY, perhaps even a clickable "drop down" or "pop up" where you could find out who they beat, what map and what settings .. and the date)

[Ruben Cassar]

I don't like the way the medals are awarded. The way they are awarded now it doesn't equate to skill. If a player plays a lot of games he's bound to get the medals in the end.

Would it be better if they were awarded on win percentage? For example for doubles 50% wins - bronze, 60% wins - silver, 70% wins - gold. Of course if a player achieves a medal and then goes below the percentage this should not be removed and there should be a criteria of say playing 100 games in a specific setting.

[lt.pie]

I would like to see a bronze medal for 500 wins (ANY) ,silver for 1000 and gold for 2000. also a medal for winning a 4-8 player singles game from 1 army on 1 terr.

[FabledIntegral]

hard to get medals are stupid if there aren't many. Only successful medal type system I've seen from Halo, which are more so trivial out of the way things. The long listed posted earlier I really like. That's what made XBOX360 gamerscores so addictive to people. You can't deny that having 50+ medals would cause people to try to get htem all. i have ZERO incentive to try for any medals atm.

[JOHNNYROCKET24]

[JOHNNYROCKET24]

1) total wins
1,000-bronze- 2,500-silver- 5,000 -gold

2) winning percentage ( 1,000 game minimum )
70-75% bronze
76-80% silver
81%- Gold

3) win streak is another good one but this can be staged

[FabledIntegral]

Johnny - you care way too much about the "staged" factor. Who cares? The medal system is to get something for yourself, just as multis can abuse to get higher ranks. Should we not have ranks because of that?

My point is that things that are more so trivial yet you have lots of them is what makes players enjoy them. You state that players can start 1 for each type of map to get to 50 maps, is that a big deal? Then let them do it and have the medal. I guess you could change it to "win at least once on each of 50 maps," but hte point remains. As said look at Halo2, it wasn't hard at ALL to get a double kill, yet it was still awesome getting them.

You yourself only bash noobs/recruits to get your number of wins up high, should we implement a rule stating that those games must be 15+ rounds, or that hte rank has to be sergeant 1st class and up?
