Um medals are awared for being the top 3 "scorers" in a game. Score includes Objective Points (capping flags) and Kills. Deaths has nothing to do with it.
Winning medals usually means your killing AND tackling objectives.
Scoreboard:
The little throphy is a combination Objective Points / Kills
The little stick man is Kills
The scull is deaths
Medals are awarded on the first.....
