Can you get an extermination without an overkill

A fact about the Extermination medal is that you don't have to kill the whole team, as long as they're all dead. Ex: You get an Overkill in a 5v5 match, and the other player is on the respawn; as long as all players are on the respawn, and you receive an Overkill and the Extermination, whether you were the one who killed the whole team or not, which can be useful in Big Team battles.

Inversely, you can also get the medal in a 2v2 match by killing both enemies twice, and spacing out the first 3 kills. This is commonly received on Team SWAT , as you only have to get headshots, where it is very easy to obtain in Halo 3 on Snowbound due to the fact that all the opposing team members will be close to one another. You can also do it on Orbital by camping at the top of an escalator and waiting for a team of four to run up the stairs, you should have the upper hand because you have an ambush set, if you do it right and with a little luck you will get 4 headshots along with the medal.

It is also more easily obtainable in Grifball , another easier way is to get an overkill in a 4v4 objective game, as the respawn time is longer, and if you aren't fast enough, you can spawn kill with a teammate as well. It can also be obtained by killing the person who is in a team consisting only of himself, four times within four seconds of each kill. In the event that you get an extermination medal on a Mythic Map, it also unlocks the " Have Fun Respawning " achievement worth 25G.

Abstract This note places mass killing in a continuum of actions that a ruling power can take to remove an unwanted group from a society; that is, it views extermination as a means to an end, and it assumes that rulers are rational and will choose the combination of means that can achieve their goal at the minimum cost to themselves.
