    Yeah I earned most of my onyx medals. A lot of them were in private, but I still earned them.

    Good luck getting S 4.0 (we all know it'll be present at least with nother name) without at least 1 boosted medal.

    And yes, I earned most of my medals as well.

    I think there should be no medals at all in Judgement... Boosting is boring and I don't want to use weapons I dislike using in the game just to get an achievement.

    The private matches exists because not everybody has the ability to play mp online all the time; why should their gaming experience be limited (not be able to earn 3.0) because of what you deem legit?

    this is the better idea. I play Gears a good bit and have maybe 300 matches between TDM and Warzone. all other game types I have almost no progress. making us play 300 matches of a game type is really insane. I have a wife and a job, but in saying that I have completed Gears 1 & 2 and would like to complete 3 also. At currant rate it will not happen without boosting.

    Medals and ribbons.... Don't really care. If someone boosts they just have too much time on their hands.

    W/L
    And other unlockables by playing PRIVATE!

    Probably only 3% of the gears population got everything by actually EARNING them.
    Now when I just got my Onyx Headshot medal by actually earning it, I feel no recognition because practically everyone boosted it!

    Now I feel like all my hard earned ribbons, medals, and unlockables are just a waste, including the ratios.

    And what fun is a game when most of the players cheated their way through and the actual earners feel like they did crap.
    KD? Its against bots who gives a **** really....

    I have right now 18 onyx medals and like 30 more Gold ones very close to Onyx. I really don't care for S3.0, but if I get it before GOWJ, fine; if not I really don't give a s*it.

    I don't use the boosting method but I can see why it's very common, most of the medals require a pretty high number which may not be hard but it's time consuming specially if you don't play the specific game types or use specific weapons. I don't wear medals I unlock either because they have no personal value to me since they can all be boosted. I been wearing "Member of the Old Guard" since the game came out because it's the only medal I deserve to wear.

    They should be attainable in private, but also in horde, beast, campaign or overrun. Private because not everyone has xbox live, and the rest because not everyone likes to play versus. Does how someone else "earned" them effect you? If you think it does, that's kind of sad. Play the game how you want, and stop worrying about how other people play it. It bothers me when people think that they way they play is the only right way to play.

    It's a game, just play it how you find it fun, let others do the same. That's what games are for after all, fun.

    No, they will ruin the public games with other people in it, let them stay in private.

    No longer responding to complaint threads from people without gamertags attached. If you want to complain, fine. But own it. Don't make a new account just to complain.
