+'''Linktacular''' is a [[Bungie.net]] [[medal]] which was awarded in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' [[Multiplayer]], for playing in a matchmaking game composed entirely of [[Bungie.net]] users; meaning they have registered on Bungie.net by linking their gamertag to the Bungie.net profile. In ''Halo 3'', each linked gamertag is signified by the [[Seventh Column]] symbol beside their gamertag in-game, while ''Halo: Reach'' players may choose among various [[nameplates]]. The image consists of a blue circle with the Seventh Column in the center. The medal does not appear in-game and can only be viewed on Bungie.net.
-'''Linktacular''' is a medal given in ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Multiplayer]] for playing in a matchmade game composed entirely of Bungie.net users. The image consists of a cobalt circle with the Seventh Column symbol surrounded by six smaller columns.
-== How-To ==
+On March 31, [[2012]] Bungie.net ceased updating ''Halo'' game stats and player records, transferring all record-keeping responsibilities to [[Halo Waypoint]].<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=32028 Final Transition for Bungie.net Halo Services]</ref> As Linktacular could only be viewed on the site, it is no longer awarded.
-This medal is easily obtained in a playlist with a low amount of players, such as [[Head_to_Head|Head to Head]] or [[Team_Doubles|Team Doubles]].

+==Trivia==
+*It would sometimes be hard to earn this medal, as many people were not signed up at Bungie.net, and the player had no control over who was in their matchmaking game.
+*This medal could have been awarded if there were guests in the match, but only if the profile was a guest of the player who was registered with Bungie.net.
+*A player was more likely to receive the medal if they were in a playlist with fewer people. In ''Halo: Reach'', players with linked Bungie.net accounts would earn the medal for every game of [[Score Attack (Halo: Reach gametype)|Score Attack]] they played; since they were the only player on the game, they were guaranteed to get the medal.
