The Bulltrue medal, awarded for killing someone in the act of a sword lunge.

Bulltrue is a Halo 3 Multiplayer medal that is awarded when a player kills another player who is in the act of an Energy Sword lunge. The lunge does not have to be directed at you, as you can get a Bulltrue when someone is lunging at another player. It is represented by a brown diamond with a silver outline and a bull's head in the centre. In the Halo 3 Beta, it was simply a red star, because the Energy Sword wasn't supposed to be found in the Beta's Custom Games and variants. It is easily achieved with dual Maulers or a Shotgun. If you are lucky, an Assault Rifle or duel-wielded SMGs or Magnums would even work, if the enemy dies right as the lunge occurs.

How to achieve the Medal

It is actually a very challenging medal to attain, unless you are playing Grifball and your opponent is not very experienced. This medal is slightly easier to obtain if you are a Juggernaut and you melee a person in the action of lunging at you. There is a good chance that you will both die, but you will receive the medal nonetheless. A very popular and hard way to obtain this medal is to hit the the sword user with a headshot by sniping with a beam or sniper rifle at close range.

Another easy way to receive this medal is if you are playing the save one bullet infection variant. You simply wait for the zombie to get close to you, and then shoot your shotgun at the last second. Even if the player who is wielding the sword is not lunging at you, you can still save someone's life and get the award at the same time, but make sure you do it at the right time if he has a shield. But if he doesn't, you're most likely safe.
