halo 4 assasinations. yay or nay

> They should make it so that is toggle-able or you have to hold down a button combo to do one.

I think it should be tap, and then hold the melee button. Tap for the lunge, hold for the animation, that should help to get rid of unwanted assassinations.

I dont mind them as long as theres a way to toggle them off in options, Im sick of thinking i tapped the button and ending up in a 3 sec animation instead.

45 yays!
were so close!

Yay X 55?

If not just yay.

NO. No button combos. I would be extremely mad if there were button combos for stuff like that. I’m all for new ideas, but a button combo for assassinations (or anything else for that matter)? A definite no for me.

Simple solution: Don’t do them if you have a problem with assassinations. I will give you that they sometimes occur accidentally due to lag, that sucks >.<

Since they are optional and left to the discretion of the player, i am for Assassinations for Halo 4. After it is optional…no one is forcing you to do them. If you get yoinked, it’s your fault for showing off. High risk, High reward (if showing off is your thing).

Others will see it as a gimmicky feature and i agree to a certain extent. However, it was one of the few new features Reach added to Halo liked.

we… are… alomst… to… 50!!!

Yes, but it needs nerfing. First of all, I can’t even remember the last time I got a simple smack to the back on someone. I always end up assassinating them, but I don’t want to! I literally just press RB, then it starts the animation. Then I begin to rage “Oh, for f*ck sakes” as that guy’s team mates come running toward me and I’m stuck in some stupid animation of me ramming a knife into someone, when I could have ran away to safety if it simply let me get a quick smack to the back on them.
Also I hate getting yoinked.
How this can be fixed:
-If you choose to go for the animation, then they need to make it so that as soon as you press RB, you get the kill.
-The animation is activated after 0.05 seconds of holding RB, you then have to continue holding RB for the rest of the animation to play through.
-You can stop the animation at any time by simply releasing the RB button.
USE MY IDEAS PLEASE, IF YOU DON’T THEN THE ASSASSINATION ANIMATION IS A NAY FOR HALO 4! <3

I say Yay

yay

yes assasinations are cool

> yes assasinations are cool

yes, yes they are.

I love assassinations, but I hate doing them when I dont want to, and I hate seeing teammates do it in… say Arena.

left trigger + right trigger hold should work. or melee right trigger, but people accidentally press both of those at once more.

There should be something in the start menu where u can select different animations and you unlock these animations by performing assassinations and there should be an option for no animations :slight_smile:

I say Yes, yay, I want themlol! and I would like to see them be customizable to a certain extent, like choosing knife type, or even if your guy uses a knife, etc.

Yes i want them in Halo 4. There amazing and makes you seem like a Ninja!!

Yay.

And the medal should be the same, not two separate ones. All they are is an extension of the smack-to-the-back, no need to make people who are against it to have to use it for a medal they wouldn’t have gotten other wise.

I personally love assassinations in Reach & i think they are by 1 of the best things added.Didnt like how there were 2 assassinations medals either. They also changed the beat down medal to pummel medal WHICH IS HILARIOUS because the way people play Reach & use Spartan IIIs to punch so much its like pummeling because they can’t shoot like a Spartan IIs so they have to pummel their opponents to death lol. Im all for assassinations in Halo 4, but they need to think of a new name for it or the old assassinations & it has to be an epic name…maybe we need to come up w/ a name for 343 industries. Also someone said an option for assassinations you want to do. Maybe 5 different kinds for each direction, left, right, top, under, also if crouched from each direction has at least 2 kinds then 5 more different kinds while in air. I would like to have a choice of which one is done, but also taking more ideas from Gears maybe each weapon would have 2 different kinds of assassinations which would mean 52 types of assassinations w/ each weapon.

Double yay.

> Who wouldn’t want new assassinations? Easily one of the only good new features in Reach, and it would be even better in Halo 4…

Fix’d for my opinion.

I agree with OP, assassination animations should be back, I think you should be able to turn them off for custom games to prevent accidental animation activation in Gamebattles, CyberGamer, MLG, ACL etc matches.
