Most of those featured in ''Halo 2'' 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]].
