It probably would have made more sense to get this award if you got a head shot with the shotgun and they didn't die, but I still like it.

That's it, I'm soo getting an Xbox 360 Elite and the Legendary Edition of this game now. I could care less about the gameplay or the story, I just want this award.

don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of Cheney, but it's just a cheap joke, on the expense of the poor guy almost died in an accident.
what's next? GTA planes (choppers) flying into a big building in a quest called "Jihadmania"?
or are we going to make VT references?
I call it tasteless.

But in the WTC attack or at the VT shooting, innocent people died. See the difference?

Since Harry Whittington wasn't exactly Dick Cheney's opponent, this "award" would make more sense if your 10 kills were all the result of friendly fire.

difference here is that no one died, and they were both rich white republicans with political power.

Yeah it should definitely be friendly fire headshot with a shotgun. Everybody would have to do it once, so the first week of this game on Live would be hilarious madness, and then it would be over with.

Oh yeah, and it should be called "The Medal of Freedom", since that's what all Bush's minions get whenever they screw up real bad.

and apparently getting friendly fired on during a hunting isn't?
a game is SUPPOSED to be an escape of reality, let's not put real cheap jokes in it.
This just BEG Thompson to show his ugly face again. Now with Cheney's support.

Hey kingofwale, you said "and apparently getting friendly fired on during a hunting isn't?"
Isn't what? I have no idea what you're talking about. I said "See the difference?"

@AoE
Not sure what you mean. Am I being too political up in here? I'll try to tone it down a bit.

As a PC FPS enthusiast, I can't see why Halo is so popular.
Last year at a LAN center I helped run, we advertised a HALO tournament(we also had a table with 4 xbox's linked to a hub) and had about 30 people sign up for it. The winner walked away with a decent gaming tower.
After watching this tournament, halo sucks compared to Counterstrike: Source IMHO.
I have never played any halo and I never will.
But have fun with it I guess.

Wow, you've never played the game and yet you are judging it solely on something you saw one time. Let me call you out for a BS spewer.
But, I digress. I rechecked the medal and it says "open season," not Cheneymania.

In order to win a Cheneymania Achievement, wouldn't you have to shoot your OWN teammates?

Haha, oh Cheney.
I do appreciate Bungie's sense of humor.

Hahah.
I think it'd be awesome to fake an official achievements list for halo 3 before it comes out and put something like "Get 100 betrayals in Ranked Team Slayer" or something like that.
People would flip out.

Wow. What a lame attempt at copying the guys at Harmonix. I guess Bungie doesn't get the concept. I guess they should just stick to making crummy circle-strafing-jumping FPS games.

Matt I am the same way. I never "got" Halo, until maybe 3 days ago I was sitting there thinking, why don't most of my friends like FPS games?
1. Too many weapons, complicated weapons systems
Halo is the "dumbed down" or "realistic" take on this: only carry 2 weapons, only need 1 button for weapon switches.
2. Physics are brutal.
Halo: What physics?
3. Too much twitch reflexes
Halo: lets use da analogs
