Another easy, but highly unlikely, way to get "Overkill" is to play on a map and when the whole enemy team respawns but the game stops and you're right there, when the game restarts you can easily kill the team. Also, on Team SWAT it is easy to get if the whole enemy team is in one area and you kill them all with headshots within four seconds of each other. An easy way to get this medal is to destroy a full [[Warthog]] with a [[Rocket Launcher]], and kill another enemy immediately afterward.
