I was thinking about this recently, but when 343 returns the assination feature would you guys like to see them in 1st person rather than 3rd? Or a mix of both? I for one, would love to see a bunch of 1st person assassination animations.
Doom-esque slaying assinations? I’ll take it.
first person all the way. gamecheat13 gave us a rough idea of how it’d look. victim pov needs to be 3rd person though.

I love it. It really goes a long way in making combat feel immersive!
That was cool… but probably not so good in real time.
And it still leaves you open to being shot or having your kill stolen - so people are still going to turn them off.
I would like to see a final kill of the game / assassination though… shown in slo-mo to everybody.

Yeah, as long as its toggleable i think everything’ll be fine. But assassinations do confer you a nice reward for a nicely placed “blackslap,” so being more vulnerable is a nice tradeoff for just attempting to be stylish.
I’m down for final assassination killcams, i guess. Although i do feel it would be a bit redundant.
When 343i said assassinations won’t be in the game for launch, they talked about how it doesn’t flow well with halo combat and how many people toggle it off. I believe they are trying to find a way to bring them in without having the same negative impact as before so more people would use them.
That said, doom esque ones are not bad because they are much shorter but can still give the cool factor that comes with assassinations. However, unlike the third person assassinations we are used to in halo, I don’t think you can move around the camera while in first person. I think it’s tricky to get a good way to have assassinations and keep them viable.

someone in the comments of the video says the video is in 40% so you could just play it at double speed for it to be normal right?
also who actually cares about kill stealing, it counts for the team either way?
I always though that would be really dope, and less jarring than taking you out into third person. The only issue is that you might get the CoD effect with just a lot of nausea-inducing jerking and bad animation. BTW: Assassinations*
Have to say, I prefer 1st person way more - but not ontly there, also as the sidemate of a warthog driver like in Halo CE.
