I came across a link yesterday but I can not find it at the moment but it showed the options for Halo 5 and I must say one setting option put a huge smile on my face…
DISABLE ASSASSINATION ANIMATION = YES or NO
I have been asking for this the first day they introduced assassinations and it’s finally happened! There is no reason for all the extra wasted time and annoying problems they caused. Many times simply tapping the melee put you into an animation that got you killed.
Really, that’s cool, I never knew people didn’t like the assassination animations O.O

RUL confirmed this in one of his videos.
And yes, they do listen…

It takes too long and can disrupt the flow of your (the player’s) game. Sometimes a quick backwhack is more efficient and saves you a couple seconds.
Glad to see i can remove it for arena.
Yeah is good that they are doing this, I no doubt will disable when I am playing seriously in arena, when I am playing social/warzone however I will probably turn them on, worth the risk of dying in this case just for the sheer humiliation to the other player and some of the assassinations look pretty sweet.

I Guess.
Ive always liked then, but sometimes I will tap melee and assassination animation starts. So glad I can take it off if I want to.
You can not assassinate someone if you get the timing down for your melee.
I love the assassination animations but many times I just opt for a quick smack to the back of the head in a heated situation. There is nothing like the feeling of sneaking up on a Lone Wolf from behind and gutting him/her though.

I found the assassinations to be awesome. However, there were many instances where you accidentally went into the animation among an enemy team. At that point they got a showstopper or just a free kill. I like having the option to turn it off. Personally, I’ll probably keep it on for the fun factor.

Not so much that people didnt like them, more so that they were a massive inconvenience for players. The possibility of getting trolled and yoinked is ridiculous. Plus in competitive play you had to be careful with the paddy-whack back smack due to accidentally getting caught in an assassination (sure you can have your team help and yoink you, but why the extra effort?).

I get that some people prefer it off for competitive purposes but saying it’s a waste of time? assassinations are one of the only good things that came from Reach. Nothing is more satisfying than sneaking up on a poor -Yoink- and brutally snapping their neck.
And I surely cant wait to pull a John 117 Cena on someone

Are you kidding me? I can’t wait to pull off that assassination!

Oh my christ. I knew it would happen.
Isn’t assassinations only when you hold melee? I never had a chance to play the beta so I’m unsure. If it’s hold I don’t see the big hype around the setting

Sometimes people accidentally hold it a bit too long. And sometimes, it doesn’t register you only tapped it. There have been plenty of complaints that it is too touchy, and they want to have the ability to turn it off/on. So it was added. I’ll be turning it off.

Thank you, more understandable now.

Same
That’s very nice to hear. The risk of doing an animated assassination is high when playing competitively, so it’s annoying when you don’t want to initiate it but it happens anyways. To me, doing a full on assassination shows you’re very confident about the ennemies’s positions. They’re extremely rewarding but it’s better to have the option to disable them.

Same. I think I’ve accidentally assassinated when I intended to backspace only once in all these years.
