how to sort out assassinations stealing

if you are assassinating an enemy teammates cant shoot him and steal the kill.

if you see an enemy assassinating your teammate you can try to save your teammate.

Thats the point though, do you tap melee and get the kill instantly or go for the flashy finish and risk having it stolen? That’s where the “yoink” medal came from, assassination kill stealing is kind of an intended feature, though it doesn’t make it any less frustrating. The only “fix” I could see working is simply giving the assassin the kill once the animation starts, instead of when it finishes so people can’t steal it and that’s only if 343 wanted to change how it works.

no. if it is given the kill when the Animation starts the victims team has 0 Chance to save their teammate. the kill should be awarded the moment the Fatal attack is inflicted. such as the knife entering the body the first time. or in nice try’s case when the player upside down is dropped on his head. essentially when the shield’s Pop. and if the shields are Poped before the fatal attack is inflicted the assassination is cut short and ends right after the fatal attack is inflicted since hes already Injured enough to be killed.

Three words my friend…
LET
IT
GO
There is no amount of complaining or forum posts or anything else that will stop it.
I’m sorry to say it but either turn them off or suck it up.

If I did the majority of the damage to the guy, I’m going to take the kill.

If not, I let the guy have it.

But I’m a nice guy. so it’s uncommon.

That but if the enemy has no shields and assassination can’t be performed so people can keep their hard earned kill

No, if you want a flashy kill, you risk being denied of “your” kill. Assassination stealing has been in Halo since Reach, a freaking medal was created for it…

just a warning, if you assassinate someone in my presence, you’re getting YOINKED! My Halo tradition for 5 years! :wink:
