One thing I think that should be brough back would be assassinations. Leave the option to the gamer to choose whether or not they use it. Meaning, like it is in Halo 5, you can choose to turn assassinations off if you wanted to. Otherwise, I think that was a great addition when animated assassinations were brought into Halo. What reason is their really for eliminating animated assassinations? You die too often performing it? Well that’s the player’s fault for doing that instead of just a back-smack. It’s a simple tap of the melee button instead of holding it. So I do not see a good reason from removing them.
They are, just won’t be there at launch.
Yes probably being used as a vehicle to sell future battle passes. Not much more to say on the matter really.
Did they mention it and I missed it? I don’t call seeing anything regarding them coming back. I am hoping they are just working on the animations and trying to ensure there will be minimal if any bugs when performing them. I would hate to see them removed. Many many memories assassinating people and getting assassinated while pleading for your teammates to save you only for them to be a second too late. Loads of fun.
