One of the reasons I loved Halo Reach: lots and lots of spree medals.
In Halo 4 343 only included killing sprees, and a few others. What I liked about all the spree medals is that it was a good reward for getting kills with different types of weapons. Sprees gave me a motivation to use certain types of weapons or techniques that I would normally not use. And, lets face it, many of the sprees sounded pretty cool. Even though Halo 4 has a lot of medals already, I think bringing back all of the sprees (and maybe add some for new weapons) would be cool for Halo 5.
Yeah, I used to love getting sharpshooters.
I agree with this. However, we only need Reach’s weapon spree medals. I also like how they were implemented. Halo 3 required consecutive kills to keep a streak alive, while Reach only needed the kills to be within the same life, which made it a bit easier.
Though it was rare, I absolutely LOVED getting a “Be the Bullet” medal.
All of the 15-point sprees had cool names.
Be The Bullet > Sniper
Buck Wild > Shotgun
Cutting Crew > Sword
Wrecking Crew > Hammer
Sunburst > Splaser
Corrected > Sticky
Sunday Driver > Splatter
Road Rage > Passenger (As Driver)
Unstoppable Force > As Juggernaut
Thriller > As Zombie
Hell’s Jerome > As Human
Broseidon > Team Spawn
Second Gunman > Assist
I’d love to see them return with new ones.
Mmmh Brains in Reach’s infection was the best one
I would defiantly like to see the old spree medals. I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t really. Along with bringing weapon spree medals back, 343 should also scrap the medal awarded for a KILL. It’s analogous those sad plastic “winner” medallions people receive for participation.
Reach had the best medals of any halo by a country mile. Almost all implied skill, an the icons were bold. They were also easy to browse post-game
Halo 4 added too many inconsequential ones. Generic kills, assists for every kind of action… I blame the stupid points system. +5 for base capture assist means nothing for me… An certainly doesn’t deserve a medal. Nor does a rail gun kill, beam rifle kill, etc etc.
Bring back the sprees. Be rid of the common ones. Stop the points. I guarantee it will make for a more classic and enjoyable halo experience!

I absolutely agree! I think its a little overkill (no pun intended) to include medals like “rocket kill”, “generic kill”, “beam rifle kill”, or “binary kill”. I think 343 should get rid some of the kill medals or at least group them into one category (sniper weapons should only be awarded sniper kill).
Another thing I liked about Reach is how it showed the top medals of the game. Who doesn’t want one of their top medals to be shown on the carnage screen?

So long as first strike isnt one of them by default, Ive had many perfections not appear there because of that back in Reach.
