I was thinking, with infinite being a “spiritual reboot” of halos 1 through 3, will there be assassinations? And if so, would it be the more knife-based ones of reach, being a spiritual reboot, or the more thruster based ones of 5, give that we will likely be playing as spartan 4s
what do you all think?

I’m happy with whatever assassinations come my way! My all time favourite is the ground pound assassination with the knife to the head finish!
It honestly just looks fantastic in game imo. I hope to see some fancy assassinations in Infinite!
I am sure there will be assassinations. I don’t think because it is a “spiritual reboot” that that would impact assassinations.
I would think similar to Halo 5 there will be a wide variety of simple and more theatric assassinations.
I would prefer if assassinations won’t be added to Halo Infinite as Beat Downs are an instant kill unlike with assassinations where there exist an opportunity that you may die in the middle of the animation.
In addition to that, it’s also so satisfying to smack a target in the back and get an instant kill.

Funny because it was always very satisfying to stick that knive into elites neck for me.(wow, that sounded quite sadistic

When I enter the assassination animation, I do always get a fear of being detected or being killed while you are stuck in the animation.

Yeah indeed. Personally even in H5 I try to avoid it apart from to get commendation
Given it’s been in the game since Reach, doubt we’ll lose it but allowing people to switch it off allows the choice

I have actually selected the option in Halo 5 which causes assassinations to be turned off.

Yeah soon as I hit the commendation I’m out
A lot of comments say there should not be because it takes too long and they could get killed.
to that i say, dont do it! Likely there will be a toggle for it though
Yea there’s definitely will be assasinations. I think they’ll have a mix of both new and old
I really hope there will be. I enjoyed the wide array of ways to assassinate in halo 5. Especially with them being over the top. However I understand not everyone wants it, especially competitive players, so a toggle for allowing assassinations is a must if we have them in infinite.
I think assassinations were a very welcome addition to halo. They are iconic at this point. Even in Halo 5, the assassinations were great. Ya they had some thruster ones that didnt make sense but every one of them was cool. From from flipping a dude over your back and snapping his neck to sticking a made to their face and throwing them, every one was bad -Yoink-. I hope they add a ton while bringing back all the previous ones.
Alright, i think it’s time to talk again. During the E3 trailers, we didn’t see a single assassination. There were even clear openings for it. When the spartan uses the grappler to trickshot noscope a dude, he falls back down and backwhacks a guy, no assassination. So, any changes in thought?

I feel like maybe they went with a beatdown there just to keep the trailer more fast-paced, maybe we could see one in the overview tomorrow. I honestly don’t think they would’ve removed them either, cause there’s always the toggle from 5 if some people prefer not to use them.

Sorry, what time (est preferably) is the overview?

11 AM EST. That part with the back smack makes me worried that Assassinations aren’t coming back. I hope it was just a simple back smack
I expect assassinations to be back. Not because they added anything to gameplay, because they did not. They’re another opportunity to monetize customization.

I’m sorry, I understand your point, and it’s totally valid, it’s just ironic coming from somebody with assassin in their username. Not trying to make fun of you or disregard your points, sorry if it came off that way
