Anyone worried there may be no assassinations…? We haven’t seen any from the trailers, and I am beginning to worry there may be none, considering that all the halos before this one actually had a trailer with assassinations in them. What do you guys think?

There’s been a bunch of topics about this, a lot of people are worried. The nature of assassinations being customisable and one of the ways they can really get inventive, not to mention being a fan favourite inclusion, I think you’ll definitely be seeing them return to help market the battle pass. I also think we will have pre-game/post-game poses too. The more customisation they have the better they can sell stuff.

I personally hope not but if they do at least give the option to turn them off or option to not do them in game. A lot of people don’t like them as they leave you vulnerable.

And have things for people to work for normally, not everything has to be about being sold - but yeah, another layer of things to add either way. I doubt they’re excluding it, since we’ve only seen like a small amount of the game and it was in a fast-paced intense sort of round. Assassinations would have taken away from that (Though Supernova or something would have fit in with the ‘flashy cool’ vibe at least…)

You can toggle them off in Halo 5 so nothing to suggest this won’t continue to be the case.

Yeah I couldn’t imagine them being forced, that’d be terrible.

Oh yeah totally agree, they are sure to have a bunch of stuff to work for as free, but they will make their most money on things like the battle pass so will no doubt hold over soke of the best items for that. A really creative assassination will no doubt be a part of that. As well as some of the better sprays. I’m hoping we can map a spray to the dpad. I wonder if this game will have a play of the game too where they show the best triple/overkill. It’s a very flashy feature, but it is cool to have especially when it is yours.
I agree with what you said about assassinations, there was a lot going on and this would have detracted focus as well. It has also produced a lot of discussion on the forums so it’s worked in that way too.

Absolutely! I’ve said it a few times in the hope it is already in, or they see it and can implement it. Please make it so we can change what triggers the assassination. As a highly competitive player, I have to set mine to off as sometimes I’ll accidentally trigger hold commands by accident. I would love to activate it by double tapping the melee button. I never press it twice in error, so this could mean I could keep it on and use it when I want to. I assume most pros have it turned off but they might even leave it on if it was like this and we could get some use it in tournaments to really rub the salt in. Would get the crowd popping off I’m sure.
I DO NOT want assassinations, and if they must be in the game, then it needs the turn off option. Being animation locked in shooters is horrible game design, being unable to respond to situations for even a short time gets you killed. It also makes the game feel sluggish, the more fancy animations you have the more delay between each action. Even the clamber and short delay after sprinting before being able to shoot all made the games from reach to 5 feel much less responsive than ce-3. Assassinations also prevent you from getting what could be multikill assassinations, where you sneak behind multiple enemies and could just hit 1, 2, 3 enemies with single quick assassinations, an animation would have you locked on the first person and then the other 2 see you and kill you. I think that its mostly social/campaign players that want this feature tbh, because most competitive players want fast, accurate and smooth gameplay, over flashy.

Truthfully, I am very indifferent about it. I wouldn’t be bummed at all if they where not in the game. Though if they are, that’s cool too. I believe my main request would be that I could “shuffle” my animations. Rather than being locked in to one, I could have all my unlocked assassinations moves being used. Lastly, if they are to come back, DO NOT make them as long as Call of Duty Warzone or Apex. Stuff takes waaaay too long.
I am worried that they’re not there. Although they can be added post-launch. People who don’t like them should just be given the option to toggle them off, then everyone’s happy. They can monetize them, make them Battle Pass tiers, etc. Zero reason to not have Assassinations that can be toggled on or off
