H4 - Killing spree.png

The Killing Spree medal is awarded for killing 5 opponents in a row without dying in multiplayer and Spartan Ops. In campaign and Firefight it is awarded for killing 10 opponents in a row without dying. In Halo: Spartan Assault the medal is awarded for killing three enemies in a row without being hit.

It is represented by a steel 4-sided star with a cyan target in the middle. In Spartan Assault it is represented by a stylized shield. When a player gets this medal the announcer will shout "Killing Spree!" to the player that received it. In Halo: Combat Evolved, because there are no medals, if a player kills five opponents in a row without dying, they will still hear the announcer, but instead see "Killing Spree!" in the upper left of the screen.

Trivia

This is most likely because 255 is the maximum value representable by an eight-digit binary number, and therefore the maximum representable by an unsigned 8-bit byte. [1]
