Linktacular

Linktacular is a Bungie.net medal given in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach Multiplayer, for playing in a matchmaking game composed entirely of Bungie.net users; meaning they have registered on Bungie.net by linking their gamertag to the Bungie.net profile. In Halo 3, each linked gamertag is signified by the Seventh Column symbol beside their gamertag in-game, while Halo: Reach players may choose among various nameplates. The image consists of a blue circle with the Seventh Column in the center. The medal does not appear in-game and can only be viewed on Bungie.net.

On March 31, 2012 Bungie.net ceased updating Halo game stats and player records, transferring all record-keeping responsibilities to Halo Waypoint. As Linktacular could only be viewed on the site, it is effectively no longer awarded.

Trivia

 * It can sometimes be hard to earn this medal, as many people are not signed up at Bungie.net, and you have no control over who is in your Matchmaking game.
 * This medal can be awarded if there are guests in the match, but only if the account is a guest of the player who has registered with Bungie.net.
 * A player is more likely to receive the medal if they are in a playlist with fewer people. Currently, in Halo: Reach, you can get the medal by signing up at Bungie.net and playing Score Attack; since you are the only player on the game, you are guaranteed to get the medal.
