Quake III Arena Medals & Awards
As you frag your way through opponent after opponent, you may hear the occasional "excellent" or "impressive" echoing around you. These accolades are accompanied by medals - symbols that will appear over your head to show off your mad skillz to everyone on the map. Your earned medals are displayed at the end of the game and tallied up. Here's a guide to the different medals you can earn.
Accuracy:
Kind of like a sharp shooter medal, this is awarded when your percentage of hits-to-shots is more than 50%.
Excellent:
If you make two frags within two seconds, you'll receive this medal and a resounding "excellent" by the announcer. It's very gratifying and helps to prod you to furthur prowess by racing your ass off trying to find smeone else to frag!
Frags:
You'll see the special frags medal if you're talented enough to get to a frag count of 100. This usually only happens when you're surrounded by a mix of good players and noob fodder between you and your major competition you tend to rack up the frags.
Gauntlet:
Since it's difficult to actually frag someone with the gauntlet, you'll receive this medal if you humiliate someone by doing just that. The gauntlet's useful for defensive corners and windows/doors. When in q3ctf1, one finds themselves racking a few guantlet frags each round.
Impressive:
Everyone knows that the railgun requires the most skill. That's why this medal is awarded for making two consecutive hits with it. Anyone punchin out multiple hits with the rail while surruonded by good competition is worthy of reward.
Perfect:
You'll receive this medal if you've managed the almost-impossible task of winning an arena without getting killed once yourself. Best of luck, you need it. Whetther online or off, you've got to be talented to be getting one of these medals.
