Remember in Quake 3 Arena (for those of you who have played it), whenever someone would earn a medal, the medal icon would then appear over their head for a few moments? I think that would work awesome in Halo 3 as well. Imagine getting a Killtacular, and all of your slaughtered opponents still lying on the ground can see it too.

I can think of a problem with this, though: if someone was attempting to sneak around or run away from combat, they wouldn't want a bright emblem over their head.

Your thoughts/opinions?

If you just sniped someone, for example, the "snipe" medal icon would appear over your head for a few seconds, then disappear.

Hmm... it sounds like a cool idea, but like you said, it makes you a target. However, maybe if only people who are dead could see it, then it would work. For example, if you get assassinated, and then your camera shows your body, and then the person who killed you walks over you, a small assassination medal would be over his/her head. But anyone alive at the moment would not see it. Only people who are dead at the moment (on respawn screen), regardless of team association, should be able to see it.

Hmm. I wouldn't mind being able to see the medals in the corner of my screen.
But I wouldn't really want a Icon over my player model...
Tis Not a Bad Idea. But It would have to depend on the HUD layout of Halo 3.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Howbout it's only visible to teammates, or to someone in respawn screen (so your teammates will see as you teabag them)
