Explanation

From Down to Town medal shows up unexpectedly. I've noticed this before, but always assumed I'd just been awhile without a kill (even if I hadn't died). I have a fairly nice clip of shotty snipes, with kills immediately before the kill that triggers the "FROM DOWNTOWN!" medal. Afterwards you can hear the announcer saying I've got 10 kills, so clearly I am not down at all.

It's a really annoying medal to get, because it makes it look like you were performing badly and ruins clips, so getting it more often than deserved really irritates me.

Its also reproducibly occurs when you've gone without killing someone for an arbitrary amount of time (my instinct is 20 seconds, but I've never measured it). I often get it when I've played on hill and my team mates have played so well off hill that I haven't had anything to shoot. Or if I just haven't found a kill in a short while and haven't died. I could be deathless and carrying, have a lull in gameplay and then get this medal.
