It is also awarded if a [[Covenant]] [[Energy Sword]] or [[Gravity Hammer]] is used to kill an opponent with the right trigger. In ''Halo: Reach'', after killing an opponent with a melee attack, the message "You pummeled (player's name)" will appear.
+In ''Halo 2'' through ''Halo: Reach'' it is represented by an inverted five-point silver star with a dark green fist. In ''Halo 4'' and ''The Master Chief Collection'' the medal is represented by a silver fist in a blue circle on a gray four-point star. In ''Halo 3'' after you kill an opponent with a melee attack, a message appears on your screen that says: "You beat down (player's name)." In ''Halo: Reach'' the message "You pummeled (player's name)" will appear. In ''Halo 4'' the message says "You meleed (player's name)."
