Give Zealots and Battlewagons the ability to

assassinate, I’d love to see Prometheans and Elites able to assassinate the friendly AI and me to make it more challenging, the Zealots could use Active Camo to sneak behind you and kill you, the Battlewagons could teleport behind you and assassinate you, it would just be a nice little feature which is there

Well…it would certainly make it a little more difficult for sure.

I could certainly see it making you more alert. Having to watch out that an enemy doesn’t sneak or teleport behind you for a quick take-down could keep you on your toes.

Watching your allies have an Energy Sword plunged in their gut or back could enhance the game-play experience as well.

imagine trying to LASO…oh god…impossible…

They could make them 1st person for campaign to add extra effect. For example this could add more effect to the promeathean helmet split.

Yeah, I’d like that, it’d be cool if you assassinating enemies was in first person (like in SpOps Episode 6 Ch 1)

Definitely it should do this in multiplayer too since it would be cool.

Maybe as an option? Same with vehicles.
Definitely would be something cool.

I’m all for this idea

it most defiantly would be

I’m too. That will be awesome to see. The Zealots needs more abilities(they’re weak in Halo 4)

Speaking for Sliding Ghost right now:

No, it wouldn’t be a good idea. We already have the ridiculous Needler supercombine which makes easier difficulties chores to play as well.

It would, however, work well as a skull effect.

This would be a great addition to campaign, and would not make these things just regular AI that have better shielding and weapons.

First, they need to make Zealots look like Zealots. That is, make them gold!

Needler deaths are very rare in campaign even on higher difficulties and the could make it so they only assassinate you very rarely and if you do get assassinated it’s mainly down to them sneaking up on you.

They’re not that rare, mainly due to the fact that you don’t descope when you’re shot, but I digress.

I think it’s a cool idea! It would certainly help with keeping the player on their toes, as well as add to the gameplay.

If not in as default, then at least as a skull. It could be called the ‘assassin’ skull.

You want to make the Battle-wagons even more cheap? 0_o

Seriously though, only if they sneak up on you and you are not paying attention, otherwise it would just be really cheap and annoying.

I want the AI to be changed, remove the Battlewagons scattershot to make up for this ability,and make them more rare to appear in battle, however that’s another topic for another day

The bad AI makes the scattershot spam from them seem much worse, never had much of a problem with them myself.

This, this so much.

Zealots look awesome now, but they lack the gold that made them scary awesome.
