Were you looking for the similarly named achievement from Halo 2 for Windows Vista, Bonecracker?
The Bone Cracker (Beat Down in Halo 3, Pummel in Halo: Reach, Melee in Halo 4, and Melee Kill in Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Halo 5: Guardians) medal is awarded for killing an opponent with a melee attack from any direction other than from behind. Melees from behind will result in either a Beat Down or an Assassination.

In Halo 4 and The Master Chief Collection the medal is represented by a silver fist in a blue circle on a grey four-point star.

In Halo: Reach the message "You pummeled (player's name)" will appear. In Halo 4 the message says "You meleed (player's name)."
In Halo 3, ODST, and Reach it also awarded if an Energy Sword or Gravity Hammer is used to kill an opponent with the right trigger. In Halo 4 these weapons award their own medals.
