Medals can only be earned in ranked play, and in games that you either own, are purchasing sessions with using the 40 MS point option, or on games that your console is licensed to (i.e. Someone else bought that game on your console). Medals can NOT be earned in demo play, classic play, or if you are using tokens to play a friend's machine.

There are three medal varieties:
Point Buster : These medals are awarded when you reach certain score targets.
Survivalist : These medals are awarded for surviving a set amount of time in a single play.
Time Spender : These medals are awarded for cumulative game play.

Every game has a Time Spender medal. Note that Time Spender medals can be earned in ranked or classic play, and are cumulative between game sessions. Most games also have a Point Buster and Survivalist medal. Medals "upgrade" as you progress. What this means is that if you have a Bronze medal and suddenly earn a Silver medal, you only have a Silver Medal. This will only count as 1 medal. Bronze, silver, and gold medals all count.

A chart of which games have which medals available, and the goals that must be met to get those medals is posted here:

Alypso ok, here some math for you:

to reach level 20 you need 380 medal points (you start with level 1). if you count now all available medal-points you can reach until now, you become a total of 350.
(20 games with 3 medals each and 10 games with 10 medals each. 70 medals total X 5 points = 350.)
how can it be, that some people reach that impossible achievement NOW?

Edward Hyena The only achievement which is currently unobtainable is the Level 20 achievement. All others are obtainable.

TheDarKnyht You can win medals from a friends arcade after demoing the game there. It will give you one free play of the game in Ranked Match form. After that you have the option of paying 40 MSP (50 cents) for another Ranked Match play. You can get Survival and Point medals this way, but not likely to get any Time Played medals this way.

Reabo This achievment has been marked wrong. You need to be online to do this. Can't do ranked matches offline...

Edward Hyena It is possible to unlock this offline because time spender medals can be earned outside of ranked play.
