I may be a lone on this but does anybody feel the same way?
I personally think medals are fine once the game is completed; however, while in game I think it is getting ridiculous. Medals like “distraction medals, air assignation medals, comeback medals, etc” is just getting to be too much.
We don’t need a medal for everything AND have it be announced. Again…once the game is completed then sure go medal crazy. I think it is just getting old hearing all medals announced when they are essentially meaningless. Pretty soon it will be “Walking Medals!” “Jumping Medal” Switching weapons twice medal!. Over exaggerated but hopefully you get my point.
ps-There is an old call of duty video where it gave you a medal for everything you did and it was hilarious. I tried finding it but it was from probably six years ago so no luck. If someone remembers this please post it.
I’m actually with you on this. I’m finishing some matches with like 50 medals and I just don’t care. They kind of lose their luster when they’re just dumped on you every match.
easy fix, have it able to be toggled
Totally with you. I had to take off the MCC medals for CE and H2 because they were so annoying. H5 had wayyyyy too many medals and the fact that you had to announce snapshot all the time was just annoying.
SNAPSHOT!!! I have heard this wayyyy too much. Now don’t get me wrong. I still want to hear “double kill, triple kill, overkill, etc”. Other than that I don’t care to see any medals.
I think we should get a rare participation medal every 3 minutes, and a legendary medal for completing a match.
And YES — I am not being serious.

Real answer right here.
Each medal and announcement type being toggleable would be a wonderful feature.
I think the more medals the better BUT let us toggle off which ones we don’t want to see in match. I would turn off a ton of them but still like to see them in the post carnage report.
i actually like the medals
i just dont like it when its spamming me every two seconds for getting a sniper headshot
I don’t mind it that much
I do love medals but I feel as if it’s way too much now and for doing the smallest of things.
“Walker”-Walked 5 feet in a straight line
”Helljumper”- Jumped twice in a match
obviously an exaggeration but sometimes I feel like there are way too many pointless medals
As someone who doesn’t earn a lot of medals, I appreciate the little pat on the back and boost of confidence. Also, when I play splitscreen games with others who rarely play, they get super pumped whenever they see one on their screen. I can see why some people would want them gone, but a toggle option would be greatly appreciated.
I know I am almost 10 days behind but here is the video I referenced. It is a call of duty video but just understand where I am coming from.

Start around 39 secs if you like. RANK UP! RANK UP!
I’m one of those players who typically thinks, “More medals!” when it comes to Halo but I can see why players would get tired of it. If I fire a rocket at a distance, lob a grenade across the map, or cause giant blocks of ice to give a Spartan a whopping headache, a medal appearing on-screen is a nice way of letting me know I scored a kill without me having to check the score board.

Very very good QoL customization feature.

I actually think this is a good balance.
Less is more. In older games it’s way more exciting when the announcer is popping off, because medals are harder to get. If the announcer is talking non-stop, you’re going on a tear. There are several extremely redundant medals in Halo 5. Hat trick, Triple Double, Airsassination, Last Shot, Ally Oop, Longshot, Theres a medal for killing every vehicle type and an assist for each as well, BXR, Beam Rifle Kill, Railgun Kill, etc. There are several. Medals have more intrinsic value when they’re harder to get. Seriously I don’t think anyone would shed a tear to see the medals given for basic kills leave. I like the unique medals such as Fastball or Combat Evolved (though Combat Evolved should definitely not be awarded if the gun hits the ground). Medals are supposed to be awarded from skill, they stand out that way. How the hell is a Hammer Kill something worth a medal?
I like medals, but agree they should actually mean something. I’m not sure what game it is in, but one of the games gives you a medal for a kill when you don’t earn any other medals for the kill. That is more like a badge of shame for missing the head shots or beat down or whatever else. And come back kill? “Congratulations, you’ve died a lot in a row without a kill”
I think Reach was the best as far as the frequency of medals. I want to see medals for basic things like headshots, but not the nonsense stuff that 343 added in Halo 4 like vehicle kill, vehicle destroyed, or fuel rod kill. Halo 5 also had some great new medals like reversal, perfect, and combat evolved, but then simultaneously made the problem worse with completely useless stuff like banshee kill, banshee kill assist, and specific medals for all the A.I. like Elite kill, soldier kill, and grunt assist. Seriously, who wants that kind of stuff?
Yeah the medals kind of got out of control.
