Overkill is a multi-kill medal in the Halo series, awarded in multiplayer when one player defeats four opponents within a short window. In Halo Reach, released in 2010, the medal is announced by the game's multiplayer announcer, whose deep voice became closely associated with the series' competitive matches. Clips of the announcement later circulated on soundboards and in fan edits, where players reused it to mark impressive streaks outside the game itself. Its continued use comes from that instant recognition among Halo fans, who hear the single word and immediately understand the scale of the play.
