It makes sense to be focused on medals all things considered, they already existed and are trackable, and a good measure of performance, I can see why 343 chose them

The issue is that there never were objective bases medals and I doubt they're going to add any

Simply going for kill medals to cap 8k on performance and assist medals to cap 8k on teamwork is not right. I've been playing Boomball TU FFA alot and simply going for assists and kills nets you more worth than playing the objective. Every game I'll end up last place with \~18k experience gained cause the system favors medals instead of actually winning.

*Who's the real winner?*

The experience system favoring medals over playing OB is wrong.
