Anyone ever had a Perfection without winning?

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.

Would you mind telling me what game mode you were playing, TU Team Slayer, TU Slayer DMRs?

I’m gonna test this.

It was Slayer DMR’s on Asylum. Not title updated, I don’t think?! Check my match history if you like, it’s not far down.

Odd, just tried to replicate it now using the Matchmaking game mode, no dice, do you have a film of it by any chance?

well known occurance, was all over b.net in the early days of reach, been in games myself where the other team lost but one guy on the loosing team got a perfection.

game doesn’t appear to check if you win, it sees the 15 kills with 0 deaths and hands it out.

I have it on my fileshare on Reach. However on here it says no recent files?! If you search it on your xbox you’ll find it. GT Bowden99

And yeah fair enough if it’s been that way since the start. Suppose I’d be pretty annoyed with my team mates if I missed out just because they were horrible.

game in question, there, no need for video hunting.

yea, the medal description shouldn’t mentioning winning though, or ,could just be a bug with MM.

Yikes, only problem I ever remember with the Perfection medal is in the beta, you could get it in Objective games.

thank god that didn’t stay around, would cause even more objective boosting .

Maybe I can help. I got a Perfection once in multi-team and my team finished in 3rd place. I don’t know if that still counts as a win or not, but I got the medal.

All my perfections I recall from halo 3 and Reach were all from wins.

That’s interesting. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t know since I haven’t ever gotten a Perfection. :frowning:

Hey Bowden i dont know if you noticed but you got 20 kills in the game but didnt get a Rampage medal either. Maybe it the Perfection was a consulation prize for not being awarded the Rampage.

Huh, all of my Perfections were on the winning side. That’s really odd!

Lag switches reset sprees. So it’s possible to have two killing sprees and no deaths.

I understand that Shanez. I just thought it was odd that he got a killing spree, Frenzy and running riot but no Rampage. Maybe they had a host migration after his running riot or after his first couple of kills but he didnt indcate that. It is a shame the game stats dont show “best spree” like the Bungie ones used to.

Does anyone know if Blackscreens/Host Migrations can reset a Perfection. I wouldnt think so because they are calculated as the game ends based on your stats for that game.

Nope, it’s simply calculated on at least 15 kills and no deaths!

I have never gotten one when losing BUT I Have seen one before that was on the losing team .

Its probably because kids in Halo 3 were like

" why cant I get one just because my, team sucks im the best "

Okay my team score was down by 7 and then the other team won I haven’t died yet,I was hiding when the other team won then I got a perfection medal…

Yes, I did a perfection in BTB (almost all my perfections are in that playlist) and we lost for 13 points.
