'''Medals''' are preset rewards in [[multiplayer]] 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]]. | |||
==Halo: Combat Evolved== | |||
Medals do not appear in their physical form in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', but some of their accomplishments are occasionally listed despite this. [[The Announcer]] will announce [[Double Kill]]s, [[Triple Kill]]s, [[Killtacular]]s, as well as [[Killing Spree]]s and [[Running Riot]]s. However, none of these medals have physical representations, and [[Xbox Live]] has no way of recording them as the game does not utilize Xbox Live. | |||
==Halo 2== | |||
Medals make 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. | Most of these medals can be viewed in-game when they are earned, and also after the game in the post-game carnage report. Though [[Bungie]] keeps a profile of many recent games, there has been 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 keep extensive records of player profiles and medals earned have grown in popularity. | ||

Most of those featured in ''Halo 2'' have reappeared in their original form, while many others have undergone a complete overhaul, and still more have been created. 42 Medals were introduced in the [[Halo 3 Beta]] and 56 were included in the final game. Medals were created for new gametypes such as [[VIP]] and to acknowledge special forms of kills, such as the kill with an [[Oddball]] or a [[Flag]]. Others are for scoring a point in an objective based game. Specialized spree kill medals were made to acknowledge kills with certain weapons, such as [[sniper rifle]]s, [[shotgun]]s and [[energy swords]]. In addition, special medals were created to be displayed only on [[Bungie.net]] showcasing certain achievements.This video shows the ''Halo 3'' medals with descriptions of each. | ||

With ''Halo 3'' having multiplayer and campaign medals, medals were put into ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' in both the campaign and [[Firefight]] Modes. All medals that were in ''Halo 3, ''except the [[wheelman]] medal have been carried over into ''ODST'', and a few Firefight specific medals added. The [[Multi Kill Medal]] has also been removed from campaign in favor of using the same kill spree medals used in multiplayer. Receiving medals gives a boost in points that one would not receive if they were to just kill the enemy normally. | With ''Halo 3'' having multiplayer and campaign medals, medals were put into ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' in both the campaign and [[Firefight]] Modes.
