With the release and announcement of ''Halo 3'', medals have been given a significant overhaul, more so than ''Halo 2''. Most of those featured in ''Halo 2'' have reappeared in their original form, while many others have undergone a complete overhaul, and still more have been created. 42 Medals were introduced in the [[Halo 3 Beta]] and 56 were included in the final game. Medals were created for new gametypes such as [[VIP]] and to acknowledge special forms of kills, such as the kill with an [[Oddball]] or a [[Flag]]. Others are for scoring a point in an objective based game. Specialized spree kill medals were made to acknowledge kills with certain weapons, such as [[sniper rifle]]s, [[shotgun]]s and [[energy swords]]. In addition, special medals were created to be displayed only on [[Bungie.net]] showcasing certain achievements.This video shows the ''Halo 3'' medals with descriptions of each.

With ''Halo 3'' having multiplayer and campaign medals, medals were put into ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' in both the campaign and [[Firefight]] Modes. All medals that were in ''Halo 3, ''except the [[wheelman]] medal have been carried over into ''ODST'', and a few Firefight specific medals added. The [[Multi Kill Medal]] has also been removed from campaign in favor of using the same kill spree medals used in multiplayer. Receiving medals gives a boost in points that one would not receive if they were to just kill the enemy normally.
