Does anyone know if they will be back in Halo 4? Any videos or pictures confirming it in or not?
Im really hoping they arent, they didnt really seem fair, espesially after the beta when they changed it to where the victims shields popped from the knife penetration before they died. It made them way to easy, and frankly cheap in my opinion.
The animation slows the game down. Yoinkers try to keep the pace going. If people don’t want to get yoinked, they should just do the normal backsmack.
ill bet you my LE (not realy) that yoinks will be in. but if your that worried you can just tap melee for a back smack, without having to worry about getting yoinked

No they don’t, they steal kills. And really? A 4 second animation slows the game down enough for you to whine about it?

In a team environment, there’s no such thing as kill stealing. Also, the guy doing the animation could put those 4 seconds to better use by teamshooting or putting themself in a better position on the map.
With assassinations come yoinks.
So, yes. They’re in.

Sorry but when I go for a “style kill” I should be worrying where the enemy team is not my own team too. Everytime I go for an assasination I should only worry about where 3 other people are not 6.
And come on seriously? ANY yoink is never earned. Your teamate already has the kill your not doing a favor by stealing a kill that is already in place.
I understand that it might slow down gameplay but so does T-bagging and its basicly the same principle. Humiliating your enemy.

Also I do agree with you in a team environment there isnt such thing as kill stealing. But in a team environment Iv never been yoinked by a friend unless it was an accident. And honestly do you really think 4 seconds is going to get someone into a better position on the map? Ya he could get to a teamshoot and get maybe 1 or 2 shots off but it really wouldnt affect the game that much.
Also on topic- Wetworks. This makes the assasination time even faster.

Okay, and that same time wasting by your team for getting the yoink could be used for doing the same thing. If I want to assassinate it’s my call if I want to humiliate the enemy. Not everything has to go like clockwork y’know.
Assassinations don’t slow the game down. If anything, the other teammates could make better use of THEIR time by moving onto another target instead of trying to kill the guy who’s inevitably going to die. Plus they’re satisfying. A bit of a morale booster watching your spartan completely manhandle someone else in a brutal fashion. Yes please.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t use the animation. I’m just saying that if they do, they should fully expect to be yoinked.
> <mark>I’m not saying people shouldn’t use the animation</mark>. I’m just saying that if they do, they should fully expect to be yoinked.
Oh, I felt you meant the complete opposite when it sounded like you were saying it was a waste of time. Anyway, I do fully expect to be yoinked, that’s why I assassinate isolated opponents, but still, I’ve never heard once of someone yoinking to save a precious 4 seconds of game time, when it gives them a kill.
Hopefully you still get the kill even if your teammate Yoinks it.

But why would I want to go for something that should be a humiliation tactic, when in turn it humiliates the assassin when he/she is yoinked? Do you know how embarrasing it looks when you start to get assassinated and your killed by a DMR from cross map, and you look up to the poor soul who was assassinating you? I can see the tears behind the spartans visor.
Yoinks arent fun for the person getting yoinked. And why would anyone want to go for a kill expecting the kill to be stolen? Thats just stupid.

Highlight made me laugh XD

Totally agree. Id be perfectly fine if you still got the kill and medal for the assassination and your teammate got an assist. An assist for doing just that. Assisting to kill an enemy thats technically dead.

But you know they won’t. The best we can hope for that atleast WE get the assist. Unless you already did? Remind me lol

So when I’ve one shot someone and I’m just about to put the last shot into him and then my idiot teammate tries to assassinate him. I don’t deserve that kill? Also you havn’t guaranteed that kill for the team when you assassinate, I’m just making sure we get it.
Its your choice to assassinate and there should be downsides otherwise they aren’t as meaningful when pulled off. However, I do think you should get an assist when yoinked.
> Yoinks arent fun for the person getting yoinked.
Getting betrayed for power weapons isn’t fun either, but these unfortunate things happen in Halo. People who get yoinked should get over it and move on while knowing that the kill could’ve been theirs if they had done a normal assassination.
> why would anyone want to go for a kill expecting the kill to be stolen? Thats just stupid.
Why wouldn’t you expect to get yoinked? That way, there’s no disappointment when you go for style and your teammate just wants the guy dead.

He’s dead as soon as the animation starts.
sacrificing half your team to kill a guy that’s already dead is a complete and utter waste.
