Am I the only one missing assassinations? I understand the concerns about them for multiplayer, but I would hope they would at least show up in campaign? It would be very sad to see yet another campaign feature removed because it isn’t popular in MP.
What do y’all think, would you like to see assassinations back in the campaign?
Yes, I’ll be waiting to play the campaign until it’s complete with assassinations
Yes, I’d love to get them back but they aren’t a deal-breaker
No, I don’t really care for them
No, I would actively prefer that nobody be able to do assassinations
I think they mentioned they were planning on working them back in at a later point for those who want them. Personally I did always enjoy the bit of flare from assassination another player or an enemy.
Personally I don’t like them. They are nice visual flair at first, but the novelty quickly wears off and they eventually become a frustration when I accidentally initiate them and get killed by my victim’s teammates as they patiently wait for my flashy kill animation to end.
Again, they were novel at first but since the days Reach first launched I don’t really bother with them in any mode.
I have no qualms with them existing if others enjoy them. I’d just rather have the option to disable them for myself so there is no chance of me accidentally triggering them.
If some people want it and some dont…why dont they just toggle it in the settings . or if not just do like halo 5 and apply ur favorite assassination and if u dont want to do an assassination just dont apply one and leave it blank
I want them back badly, but we know 343i is working on them.
Ideally we would be able to toggle unlocked assassinations on and off.
Or at least choose one assassination for each conditional assassination.
Buuut my guess is they’ll make assassination “sets” and sell them to us.
Apparently though we’re waiting on them having more utility, which will come in who knows what form.
I hadn’t seen where 343 said explicitly that they will come to infinite! Thanks for sharing that.
The sad thing is that they chose not to launch with this feature because their “data” showed that people were toggling them off. Of course this leaves out people who play campaign, and anyone who didn’t play much of Halo 5 and therefore weren’t in the “data.”
Which quite disappointingly means that the campaign will not be built with assassinations in mind. Personally I think I’m actually going to wait for assassinations to be included in campaign before I buy the game, 343 needs to learn that they can’t just remove features without consequences. Naturally I understand I will have zero impact on them lol.
Well, apparently they have been working on them and they were meant to be included, but they didn’t prioritize them because they were getting turned off.
Which is because they added flair but puts the user at risk. Just universally worse. So they’re looking into making them help the player, tactically. Which is no easy task.
If they implement a scoring system for XP, they could be worth a lot. But that doesn’t really mean anything in competition.
Don’t really care for them. But that is to say just because I didn’t use them I still thought it was cool seeing people assassinated me if that makes any sense.
You weren’t doing that In Halo 2 or 3. Cause odds are your mashing it to get the double beat down if they weren’t weak enough. Why y’all holding it for?
I’m a flawed human being who sometimes holds buttons for longer than necessary. What are you driving at?
I already said I am fine with assassinations existing for those who want them. I don’t want to ruin anyone’s fun. All I ask is that I can disable them for myself so that there is no risk of me accidentally triggering them.
There are moments in MP where I miss them. Mostly when taking out a sweaty camper or friends in customs. Currently a single -Yoink!- and educational smack does suffice.
In the campaign they were nice when taking out big targets but I didn’t care much for them being active on grunts and jackals.
Don’t doubt they will return, but I’m afraid it won’t be without FOMO/MTX
In campaign I can live without them but in multiplayer I would love them back because they were always a nice extra taunt for your enemy leaving themselves open to being assassinated. Of course there were times where I accidentally locked myself in because I held the button too long or the game registered my melee funky but in the end I don’t dip into ranked enough to be too concerned about how good I’m playing so its all for laughs in the end.
I don’t think any of those are good poll options, but I do love assassinations, and if they make your Battle Pass XP based on your medals, you would get more XP for a fully completed assassination animation without getting killed out of it, than you would for a back smack, so I would like that personally, since I was a Wetwork Venator in 4, and still go for Ninja medals and back smacks in Infinite. I’d like them added as an optional toggle like before, so people can just use back smack if they don’t want to assassinate.
