So some of us may hav noticed that in the recent Gamescom footage there were none of the medals for just regular kills (torso shots and the sort) being awarded. The Master Chief Collection does this and I love it! Makes me that much happier whenever I’m doing well. However, whenever I get a kill in Halo 3 with the spawned-with assault rifle, it’s just kinda, “Eh, whatever”. Makes dying way more infuriating than killing (or perhaps I should say doing well so I don’t sound like a murderer) is fun or rewarding.
Now I understand that there’s supposed to be something special about medals and too many would mitigate their purpose. For instance, Christmas every day would ruin how special it is. However, there are other smaller holidays throughout the year that are still fun to celebrate that don’t ruin holidays. Our Halloweens, Veterans Days, and Presidents’ Days (if you’re in the States) are always a blast to come around, and they don’t ruin birthdays, Christmas, or Independece Day at all.
Of course the comparison that I’m making with that is that the small “Kill” medals don’t ruin Killing Frenzies, Killtaculars, Assassinations, and so forth. Keeping the "kill medal in is just another thing to lift our spirits when we’re having a bad day or even just a bad game. Please put this back in 343! I’ll love you even more!
No I’m glad they changed it. You’ll notice a lot of people, including me, have been complaining about having too many medals. It made them worthless. A quick “too many medals in Halo 5” search on Google will confirm this.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again there are already multiple things that confirm a kill, red x in reticle, ping noise, and the hit markers change for the final hit(at least in the newest warzone footage). People asked for 343 to take the clutter so they removed a medal that had no use whatsoever. In my opinion all medals are clutter, but they are nice to see. However it makes sense to take away the kill medal when you have visual and audio feedback for a kill already.
If he wants a medal for every kill we get, then I want a medal for every step I take. Will make me feel a lot better walking across blood gulch.

It’s not as much that I need it to confirm the kill (which it is also pretty nice for that), but it also gets some nice consistency to the whole game so that regular kills don’t totally suck to get compared to a headshot or melee kill, which are often just as easy or even easier to get than a regular kill.
