Hey Community, Happy Friday! I hope you have a fun, Halo-filled weekend planned. I bring to you an idea in two parts: assassinations with bonuses.
1.) Catch! An assassination, during which the player tosses the assassinatee towards the nearest enemy. Would be entertaining, and could provide a tiny distraction that could be useful if you just can’t resist assassinating in a crowd. Of course, the corpse would do no damage and would have no mass like the current corpses, it would just be a distraction/briefly obscure the assassinator. Mythic Req.
2.) Be Mine? A simple throat-cut animation, but you get to keep the assassinatee’s corpse as a body shield. Details: the bodyshield does not protect the assassinator’s head from headshots, the player’s movement is restricted similarly to when carrying a turret, and only a pistol can be used. The body is dropped when it sustains damage equivalent to 4 BR shots. Pressing “Y” or equivalent weapon-switch button can drop the corpse early. Would provide a nice little bonus for getting the assassination in a base-contest situation. Mythic Req only available for use in Warzone.

Maybe.

I dont think anyone was ever complaining about the assassinations being imbalanced. Maybe if there was a complaint, but they’re just fun and cool animations that are rewarding to watch
Turn Back!: An assassination where If you get assassinated you can hold in the melee button and a jet on your arm activates while a ground pound sound starts and you shove the knife through there visor.
This idea is inspired by The Expendables 2 (I think) Swan Lake: The Assassin kicks the enemy forwards, then flips his knife into the air and (perhaps in the style of Ballet) kicks it into the enemy’s back as it falls.
It would also have the description: Those lessons really paid off
I think that assassinations should need a bonus besides satisfaction but I think that it should be get a slight speed boost after or something like that
While new assassinations would be pretty cool, the main point of assassinations are literally just to laugh at the other guy getting the snot beat out of him.
