Anyone else besides me miss medals that were given in past Halo games? My two favorite medals of all time are “Kill Joy” and “Revenge”. It was always a sick pleasure to know you ended someone’s spree, or kill the jerk who you had the audacity to kill you. Hearing Jeff Steitzer’s voice was probably one of the best things ever.
Is there any other medals from previous Halo games that you think should have been added originally or should be added in an update?
Killjoy
Slice ‘n’ dice and the other sword sprees (I loved the way he said Slice ‘n’ dice in Halo Reach)
Yoink
I’d like to see Splatter Spree come back. As for the others I’m glad 343 removed them. Killjoy and Revenge promoted targeting, and Yoink promoted kill stealing.
The reason kill joy was removed, is because the dev team said that for a medal to be in, you have to be able to know how to get it. There’s no way to know when another player is on a kill steak, so it’s a medal that has a degree of randomness to earning it.
That’s not the best explanation on my part. They talked about it in The Sprint season 1 way back when.
I liked reload this.

Splatter spree was good. I’d disagree that Kill Joy and Revenge would promote targeting, at least for me anyways. But isn’t that part of the game? To kill the enemy team? I wouldn’t start targeting, but I would be thrilled to kill the enemy that just killed me or ending someone’s spree who was repeatedly killing me or my team.
I’m still puzzled on why “Hell’s Jerome” didn’t return for Halo 5’s version of Infection.
Kill Joy is the real MVP

It didn’t return because it was a reference to Bungie’s head of security Jerome. Now that Bungie is now longer making Halo games the reference doesn’t really work.

I had to look this up but it seems somewhat legit. Below is the link that I found that sheds a little bit of info about it. It would still be a cool throwback to have it. To me, it is remembering where you came from.

Any ideas for new medals that should be created or added to Halo 6?
I miss laser spree and kill joy. Its weird that we don’t have kill joy, thats one of the most iconic medals, but im sure you guys know that.
for new medals, i think they should make medals for gun goose kills
Round ending medals like steaktacular.

Is there really no metal for laser spree? I don’t use the laser too much so I guess I didn’t notice it missing. I agree that the gun goose should have some sort of medals associated with them. What would you call the medal? I think duck hunt (gun"goose")

I haven’t thought about steaktacular in years! Like Kill Joy and Revenge, getting a Steaktacular is so satisfying. It reinforced all the hard work of the game and made me feel like a bad -Yoink-
I would settle just to have the medals I get pop up in game when I get them not just the select few they picked

What medals don’t pop up in game when you get them? I feel like there are a lot of medals that pop up in game, just not the ones I want.

well back in the beta all the medals would pop up but I believe people complained that it was to many so 343 toned it down

As others have stated, it’s named after a Bungie security staff member it would be weird for 343 to continue using it don’t you think?

I remember the Steaktacular! That was always a pleasure to earn. Good for a laugh.
