The '''Roadkill''' or '''Splatter''' in [[Halo 3]]) Medal is awarded and achieved for hitting and killing an opponent with ''any'' kind of vehicle. It is available in all [[Multiplayer]] gametypes where a vehicle is available and has a [[Bungie]] difficulty rating of 1 (out of 10). It is represented by:

*Halo 2: A five-pointed star with a tire
*Halo 3: A cross with a person's waist snapped apart


After you hit and kill an opponent with a vehicle, a message will appear on your screen that says: "You splattered (player)". This is also a medal in Halo 3 campaign. It is also possible to splatter someone by launching an object at them with a explosive, or using a [[Gravity Hammer]] to perform said task. You can also splatter someone by launching a large object by using a man cannon. Plus it is possible to splatter yourself. Another way is to be squashed by an object, often a vehicle.
