This is just some wishful thinking but here it goes.
They already have the assassinations down (not that I’m saying it shouldn’t improve, which it should) what I want to see is a quick fist fight. Instead of the rifle butt melee or punch like what we have seen in all the Halos, I’m not saying get rid of it they are still going to need it for what I am thinking. When the Chief gets close to an enemy and you hit the melee button and hold it down like an assassination then there will be an animation where say against a shielded Jackal, the Chief puts a boot on its shield, presses down, pins it under its own shield and finishes it off with a stomp or a bullet to the head. Or say against a Brute- a quick little flurry of fists to stun then unloads a couple of rounds into its chest or head. If they put just solely only the next one in I will love 343 forever is the Chief going toe-to-toe with a Hunter. I’ll leave the imagination up for that one.
Most of those require ammo to do, so if you’re out then it will go back to the typical melee or a knife kill whatever. Also the Chief will win every time because he’s an F***ing Spartan. Yeah I know it will be very complicated for them to do and what’s to stop everyone from doing that the entire campaign well I’ve got some ideas for checks and balances too. What I think everyone wants to see is for the AI to be smarter and more organized. If you have read the books then you’ll know that the Jackals use a Phalanx maneuver where they overlap their shields for more cover and that all the others hide behind them. Also a big thing I want to see is point blank range bullets and plasma are a lot more damaging and the closer you are to the enemy the more trigger happy they are. Think about it it’s more realistic that if you were to run up to one of the phalanxes or any enemy they are going to unload on you because you’re right in front of their face they shouldn’t miss. So what you’d have to do is either throw a grenade into their mix disorganize them, or a stun grenade, that would be a way for them to put that into the game, so it would be easier to get into there to take them on.
That’s my Halo 4 wish list I put some thought into this so I hope you’ll put some thought into your post thanks for reading.

Only…ONLY if they go first-person for this. Halo; Reach did an appalling job with assassinations. I don’t care “how it looks”, I want to see my hands break their necks, put the knife in the neck…I want to see my Spartan climb on the back of an Elite!
They do this, than I don’t care what else they do, I’ll be already pleased.
P.S. Assassinations was one thing that Reach did right.
If it wastes ammo, it is unecessary. Without it, I wouldn’t really mind unless they take as much time as a melee because I don’t want to be shot at while waiting to finish off an enemy because I accidentally pressed the melee button longer.
true but it makes you use startegy more
> true but it makes you use startegy more
Please give me one example how it is more strategic?
They should mix it up, and should have the option to replace melee with a Spartan kick. It has to have something significant in it to stand out from your basic melee, other than the animation…

its so that you would have to stay back and shot more then finish off the last guys istead of running up to them its just an idea you dont have to troll on me

And now give me one example where I trolled you? If I disagree, I’m not trolling good sir.
And what would be the purpose of it if we have to stay back and not melee?

Agreed. I’d rather just have a simple melee and finish off my enemies quickly because I find that more badass than doing a Cpt. America and decapitating something with a Jackal’s shield, but that’s just me.
I’m all for throwing in some other kind of assassinations if MC doesn’t have a knife though. My point is, an assassination should be quick and silent, hence the name. A simple neck-break will do.
