I find the removal of Kill medal is unnecessary and annoying. There isn’t too much of an indication as to whether or not you got the kill.
Sure, the killfeed is there, but it doesn’t really look the same as in past Halo games.
I personally feel the Kill medal should stay for Halo 5, or make the killfeed say “You killed ___” instead of “(Gamertag) (Thing that killed) (Gamertag)”.
I just want the Kill medal to be optional because I’d like to see it in the final game.
Maybe that’s just me. Anyone else feel that same?
I don’t know why they would remove them. I’ve never been playing Halo and stopped to think to myself, “man, I’d be having so much more fun if it weren’t for all these -Yoink!- medals”.

Maybe you haven’t, but I actually have said that many times. Adding more metals doesn’t Increase the value of the game in anyway. I feel it adds too much nose and tries to distract me from what I consider the game itself. Sure I am willing to agree to metals that outline important events in the game that you or your team achieve, but I don’t want something Congratulating me for everything I do. I personally think kills should be left for the “kill feed” along with other events that have been there in past games such as: players leaving/joining, team change, killing sprees of other players and any other environmental changes that may occur.

I completely understand your view on this. Going back to what I said in the original post, they should make the Kill medal optional.
If you don’t want it or feel that it’s useless to you, turn it off! If you don’t mind it at all, leave it on! I think 343i should just make it an option rather just ditching the medal entirely. I just don’t really like the killfeed of Halo 5: Guardians, either. It isn’t quite the same as in past Halo games. It would say “You killed ____”, giving you a crystal clear confirmation of the kill. Halo 5’s is different in the way it operates (Gamertag Weapon Gamertag), I just don’t feel it gives that confirmation other Halo games did.
I like seeing the medals in the games. In the beta, the medals that were there were fine. At times it was excessive, like having 4 medals for a single kill. I think one medal just for getting the kill is okay, and it is what I personally prefer.
Can I live without it in the game? Yes, but I would love to see it as an option in the final game.
I think this is so ridiculous. People were complaining that the kill medal was not necessary and it blocked the screen and made medals redundant. Now people want it back because they can’t be bothered to look at the kill feed and they decided they need the double instant feedback when they kill someone.
Just have a screen in the options menu that shows and explains all medals with a little checkbox where you choose if you want to see it. Also a “select all” / 'deselect all" option for quicker changes.
I suspect 99% of folks would just choose to see everything and that’s the default. More “particular” folks and go in and deselect the medals they don’t want to see. Problem solved, everyone wins.

Again, optional Kill medal. Those who don’t want it can keep it off.
