Splatter
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Splatter medal (Roadkill in Halo 2) is awarded in Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, Halo 4, Halo 5: Guardians, and Halo Infinite multiplayer, Firefight and Spartan Ops and achieved for hitting and killing an opponent with a vehicle. It is also available in Campaign scoring modes for each game.
In Halo 2 it is represented by a five-pointed star with a tire in the center (this image was later used for Wheelman).
In Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach it is represented by a yellow diamond street sign depicting a person split in half at the waist, imposed on a bronze cross.
In Halo 4, the same yellow diamond street sign from Halo: Reach is now overlayed on top of a gray diamond.
In Halo 5: Guardians, only the yellow diamond street sign is used.
This medal is accompanied by the message, "You splattered (player)". It is also possible to splatter a player with an object by launching it with an explosive, using a gravity hammer, or by launching a large object through a man cannon.
Trivia[edit]
