'''Medals''' are preset rewards in [[multiplayer]] or in the [[campaign]] that showcase special achievements that a player makes through the game, usually by killing opponents in a special way, a certain number of opponents at a time or in one life, or by achieving some objective. Medals appear in all Halo games except ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo Wars]]''. | '''Medals''' are preset rewards in [[multiplayer]] or in the [[campaign]] that showcase special achievements that a player makes through the game, usually by killing opponents in a special way, a certain number of opponents at a time or in one life, or by achieving some objective.

Medals made their first real appearance in ''Halo 2''. There are 23 medals available to win, which fit into four general categories; "Consecutive kills" are the streak of medals which acknowledge a number of kills within four second of each other. Double Kills for two, Triple Kills for three, Killtaculars for four, Kill Frenzies for five, Killtrocities for six, and Killmanjaros for seven kills. "Spree" medals are awarded for a number of kills a player achieves without dying. Killing Sprees are given for five kills in one life, Running Riots for ten, Rampages for fifteen, Berserkers for twenty, and Overkills for twenty five. The third Category is "special kills" and these are awarded on the basis of special ways a player kills another player.

There is an award for killing players with [[Sniper Rifle]]s, [[Plasma Grenade]]s, vehicles, and [[melee]] attacks from the front and back. There is also a medal for making [[Carjacking]]s. | ||
Also, there are objective medals available in special [[gametype]]s. The [[CTF]] gametype has a medal for taking a flag, killing a person who has a flag, and returning a flag to your base. The [[Assault]] gametype has a medal for when a player plants a bomb and when they kill someone holding the bomb. | Also, there are objective medals available in special [[gametype]]s.

Most of these medals can be viewed in-game when they are earned, and also after the game in the post-game carnage report. Prior to the termination of [[Xbox LIVE]] support for the original [[Xbox]] console on April 15, 2010, [[Bungie]] kept track of the games played and medals earned, though there was no official record for players to keep track of how many medals they have earned throughout their careers. Because of this, sites such as Halo2junk which kept extensive records of player profiles and medals earned grew in popularity. Following the discontinuation of original Xbox online support, Halo 2 service records, both official and third-party, ceased to be updated. | Most of these medals can be viewed in-game when they are earned, and also after the game in the post-game carnage report.
