Look up Mint Blitz on YouTube, OP, and then come back and tell me that literally anything is impossible in Halo.

Scorpion on BTB last week.
No, mostly just luck. And a good team. I probably should have died twice before I got my running riot.
Once you play long enough theyāre not that crazy. I can get them pretty regularly in H3 BTB on MCC. I got one in the wasp earlier today in Infinite.
Just takes experience tbh
Iāve gotten a a couple on Xbox One. Social playlists, mind, but itās not impossible. I usually just play very conservative and to to get in a zone, using my teammates to help control the game. Yes, they are giving me a lot of assists, but Running Riot is far from the hardest thing to do. I think Iāve logged a Perfection (might have been a bot playlist though).
My controller isnāt ideal either (got a couple, but either the movement stick or the aim stick is a little messy). I wouldnāt even be able to tell you how to program the extra buttons on this thing, let alone get a cheat program.
Heās already admitted to messing with SBMM so that he can get the games he uses for videos. Have you not seen how braindead the people he kills look? If he was going against a team with my skill level, heād hardly get a killing spree.
What do you think luck is? What do you think Iām referring to? How is it not luck to say āonly when SBMM ***** up can you get a running riot and dominateā? How are you saying, ānah, itās just luckā¦ā, as if Iām not claiming an occurance thatās luck based? SBMM ******* up is a luck based occurance.
Again, I should have died twice. That is a portion of the luck. The other half, is SBMM. But I did get lucky in other aspects. Such as: getting to safety with no ammo, being able to escape with my shields (and health) completely shot, and also being able to be inside of the middle area without anyone throwing in a couple 'nades.

Cool story bro. Ur skillz are unmatched Iām sure.
Setting Mint Blitz aside altogether (havenāt heard any āadmissionā that he cheeses SBMM but donāt really care to defend him either way), a Running Riot is absolutely possible, just like any other medal in the game. All a player needs is a great individual match and they can net basically whatever. SBMM has some definite sway over the likelihood of achieving some of the harder medals, sure, but it doesnāt make anything impossible. Even amidst players of comparable overall skill, there are match-to-match discrepancies that will see some players absolutely dominate in any given game on their best days.
A player of middling skill like myself is very unlikely to net a Running Riot even when Iām playing at the peak of my ability, but itās still possible. For a megachad like you, itās all the more likely.
Iāve played over 300 games and there has not been a soul in any of my matches that has gotten above a frenzy. In fact, I canāt recall any opponents to my teamates that have aquired a frenzy. I donāt let people get frenzies or above because Iām not a bad player. Therefore, assuming SBMM failed, someone would have to be playing against people much worse than themselves to even have a chance. Thatās a fact.
Iāve had two running riots.
One was against bots where I took the ghost around Behemoth and ran bots over to get the legendary metal achievement.
The second was on Launch Site with a tank. Think I ended up with 19.
Iām pretty sure youāre incorrect.
I genuinely donāt understand why people think that using m&kb is easy street. When I get challenges for perfect kills I have to plug in my controller because itās almost impossible with a mouse lol. if the magnetism was consistent with that of controller, I could probably do it, but thatās not the case unfortunately.
They are rare (itās an legendary medal for a reason), but it is something that definitely happens from time to time.
Best option ofcourse is Bot Bootcamp if you want the achievement. But if you want to do it in PvP, then i have been the most succesfull in BTB, Quick Play and Fiesta (last one only with the tanks on Launch Site).
My longest streaks per playlist:
- Ranked: 9
- Tactical slayer: 8
- FFA Slayer: 7
- Team Slayer: 9
- Quick Play: 18
- Big Team Battle: 24
- Fiesta: 20
- Bot Bootcamp: 23
- Featured: 25 (was the Fracture Fiesta one with a wraith)
Perhaps that list might be a bit of a help wich playlists are the easiest to get that medal.

Itās been so long since Iāve stopped playing the actual game, that apparently, I have 3 running riots in quick-play and 1 running riot in ranked. Surprisingly, Iāve only played 10 games of ranked. I also have a rampage in BTB. None of this detracts from the fact that itās completely luck based leading upon the idea that SBMM must fail. You canāt get those streaks unless the other team SUCKS.
If you have a lot of running riots/rampages, youāre playing against a bunch of idiots who canāt win a gunfight. Looking at your silver rank, I can imagine that your SBMM has you placed against people who donāt know what theyāre doing.
I also have win rate of 54.7% so the SBMM is actively trying to lower my rate down to 50% by pitting me against higher level players CONSTANTLY. Every game is a sweat fest. I wish I had your win rate of 40% because, in that case, Iād be matched against people who are meant to lose against me.
That just means youāre better at controller. Why is that so hard for PC users to understand?
I got that rank in week 1 when aim assist for controler was still not working (fixed 1 or 2 weeks later), when the game reguraly kept crashing (wich hurt your starting rank ofcourse, because games you didnāt complete did count for your rank) and when i didnāt had a MMR yet, soā¦
And after that i havenāt played much ranked yet, so that rank doesnāt say much. And the few matches i played after that (when i played a lot of social matches already and had a realistic MMR) showed that that silver rank was misplaced, since i kept being put against platinum players and almost always stayed positive. 
And sometimes i do play with and/or against bad players, but likewise i also play against very skilled players. SBMM is not as strong as you seem to think. SBMM mostly tries to get the team averages close (but often fails in that too), not the individual players. Skill gaps between individual players can be huge.

I know for a fact that the SBMM is strong because every game I play is way too sweaty. Either the only people playing Infinite are pros or this game is somehow, and inherently, much sweatier than the MCC. Iād absolutely dominate in MCC but I hardly ever needed to sweat for it. This game is a different breed when it comes to SBMM.
Though, that could be explained away with the challenge system as most players want to complete their challenges within the 1-hour time limit that their 2X XP boost gives them (This forces the player to try as hard as possible to get as many challenges done in as little time as possible or the bonus is a waste).
Either way, gameās way too sweaty to get the medals that Iām capable of. I play casual for a reason.
Well, i have had that argument with people before and every time i checked there recent matches, most ended up not to be that close.
So lets do it again (perhaps you were just the unlucky one?). I am checking your last 4v4 matches (excluding bot bootcamp ofcourse):
- Fiesta: 50-47, yes that is obviously close.
- Fiesta: 30-50, not close at all, since itās a steaktacular-match.
- Fiesta: 41-50. Pretty close
- KOTH: 3-1 not that close (one player even went 13-3)
- Slayer: 50-36, not that close
- Slayer: 50-45. Pretty close
- Team Slayer: 23-50. That is just stumping
- Team Slayer: 50-49. Extremely close
- Slayer: 49-50. Extremely close
- Slayer: 50-41. Pretty close
Okay, I have to admit your last 10 matches are a bit closer then most that complained about always getting close matches. But still 4 out of that 10 are not close at all (the others i check where around 7/10 not close for reference). In you last 10 matches you have only be unlucky that the non-close matches where in favour of the other team in 3 of that 4 cases.
But with an average k/d of 1.61, i think it is safe to say you have had a decent amount of matches where you were much better then other players. Otherwise you wouldnāt have that k/d.
So youāre apparently just in an unlucky streak where you have been put against better players (that too is a signal of a weak SBMM). I have been there too, but after a while you will be on the other side of it too.
A lot of those games you cited, those being my latest ones, have been littered with desync issues. It wouldnāt be very accurate to look at those stats. Ever since this season started, desync/connection has been making my bullets hardly register and people rubber banding everywhere. Taking a list of ten from December or maybe January would be more accurate. Those games I got stumped on were egregiously bad, even the close ones were bad.
I can explain my KD with the fact that Iām consistently the person that carries the game. If I play poorly, the chances of winning are extremely low. Almost every game I play, thereās at least one teamate who goes horribly negative. I donāt have many bad games, tho.
Another note, the fact that the stomp matches you saw are in favor of the other team is exactly my point. If the game fairly matches me, Iām almost guaranteed to win, but it keeps throwing in SOME games where I get stomped. Those games are often followed by severely close games, but as I already said, matches from the last 2 weeks arenāt really representative of my experience since I only recently started playing again.
