The '''Steaktacular Medal''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' online [[multi-player|multiplayer]] medal.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/stats/halo3/CareerStats.aspx?player=Ske7ch%20&social=false&map=0</ref> As this is a [[Bungie.net]] medal, it will only appear in your online medal chest, and not in the postgame report.


The '''Steaktacular Medal''' is a [[multiplayer]] medal awarded in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', and ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. In ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' a Steaktacular is earned and achieved by winning a slayer match with at least 20 kills more than the opposing team. In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', it is awarded to the winning team of an online matchmaking game if the losing team's score is less than 60% of the winning team's score, and the score to win is at least 50.
==Background==
===Requirements===
The ''Steaktacular Medal'' is earned and achieved by winning an online [[matchmaking]] game with a score of 20+ points/kills more than the opposing team.


In its first two appearances, the medal was only awarded for online [[matchmaking]] games and was a [[Bungie.net]] exclusive medal, meaning that it did not actually appear in-game and could only be viewed in the player's medal chest on the site.<ref>http://halo.bungie.net/stats/halo3/CareerStats.aspx?player=Ske7ch%20&social=false&map=0</ref>  In ''The Master Chief Collection'' it appears in-game for the first time, is also available in custom games, and can be earned in all five versions of multiplayer. The medal's description on Bungie.net, 'Luke owes you a steak dinner.', comes from a [[Hump Day Challenge|Bungie Hump Day Challenge]] in which [[Luke Smith]] bet 'a fantastic steak dinner at a real classy joint' that he could beat another team, led by [[Frankie]], by at least 20 points. Luke's team won 50-21. Another match was played for bragging rights, and they again won, this time by a margin of 50-27.{{Ref/Site |Id=SteaktacularArticle|URL=https://web.archive.org/web/20141013170348/http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12557|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie.net : Humpday Challenge: Steaktacular : 6/21/2007 4:45 PM PDT|D=29|M=7|Y=2022}}
In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', it is awarded to the winning team of an online matchmaking game if the losing team's score is less than 60% of the winning team's score, and the score to win is at least 50.


On March 31, [[2012]] Bungie.net ceased updating ''Halo'' game stats and player records, transferring all record-keeping responsibilities to [[Halo Waypoint]].<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=32028 Final Transition for Bungie.net Halo Services]</ref> As ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: Reach'' Steaktacular medals could only be viewed on the site, it is effectively no longer awarded in those games.
===History===
The description, 'Luke owes you a steak dinner.', comes from a [[Hump Day Challenge|Bungie Hump Day Challenge]] where a fat cow was bet over a game, in which [[Luke Smith]] bet that he could beat another team, led by [[Frankie]], by at least 20 points. Luke won 50-21<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12557</ref>.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Upon ending statistical updates, Bungie calculated that 382,330,491 medals had been awarded in ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST.'' With an average steak of 12 ounces, this equates to  490,167 cows required to satisfy the debt.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/stats/reach/online.aspx Bungie.net's goodbye to ''Halo'']</ref>
*Steaktacular appears in the bottom row of your medal chest, next to [[Linktacular]].
*In ''The Master Chief Collection'', the medal's description incorrectly specifies it can be unlocked in a "matchmade slayer game", despite the fact that it is also awarded in custom games. It also states that the medal can be earned in ''Halo 3'' matches, but in reality it is not.
