Because it’s good to know you’re guarenteed top medal for getting the first kill.

I agree, the ‘First Strike’ medal isn’t anything to really brag about.

I miss the MVP that was awarded in Halo 3. It was cool to get that, because there was some bragging rights there. How about an MVP medal for Halo 4? They should consider that.

Its simple, really. they wanted to make bad players feel good about themselves. What i want to know is where my mvp went.

I don’t mind it being a medal. It just has no reason to be a “ToP” medal. I long for the return of MVP especially in Objective game types.

Yeah, I agree. That would be nice. But considering that objective games provide little to no incentive for actually going for the objective and winning because you only get credits for killing and not scoring the flag, for example, I don’t think that MVP would work except for slayer games. Maybe it would be a little different if medals such as Bomb Planted and Flag Score were top medals, which they don’t seem to be.

First Strike medals are few for me, but I do enjoy seeing my name in lights, and having my 15 minutes of fame, when I do manage to destroy the first Spartan of a game.

I wish it was all or nothing in Objective. If you win you win. However if you lose you lose (no credits). I think it would also be cool if, say you win by scoring two flags or planting 2 bombs you get double the credits and for 3 you get triple. I think it might spice up the objective games a bit.
