Instead of the assassinations with a knife, a Assassination of melee, Like:
1.Kneeing someone in the back, and breaking the Spinal cord.
2.Sweeping the leg, and A step on the head that crushes the players skull/helmet.
3.Neck breaking.
4.Takeing whatever weapon you have(Aside from Rockets) and Shoveing the barrel in the back of the enemy and Shooting.
eh, there are a billion ways to kill someone, you can come up with a near endless amount of assassinations as long as the are optional, and you can turn them off.
Why would you want to turn them off completely? They are already optional, just don’t hold the melee button if you don’t want to do one.
There are quite a few melee assassinations.

Doesn’t stop it all the time.
Press the button, my spartan decides to go for the full assassination instead of a quick bump in the back. Wish I could just turn off the fancy animation.
Assassinations were a nice touch of embarrassment in Halo Reach. But you should really be able to toggle whether you want them to be possible in Halo 4, not just in Customs, but as a Controller Option in the Menu. It’s annoying when you try a quick backsmack, but press the button a little too hard and get dragged into an animation in the middle of a firefight.

Exactly, It just fails to work all the time, I used to play MLG and I would get killed occasionally due to it, when your in the situation where every death counts and it causes your death. YOU WANT TO KILL THE SOB WHO INVENTED IT.
I want headshot assassinations.
I know it sounds crazy, but what if you could tap RT right after holding RB (melee depending on your controls)
and when the assassination started, if you had a sniper, you knock your enemy on the ground and blast his head off, same with shotty,
spiker gets a cutthroat.
hammer knocks enemy on the ground, hammer mashes his chest in
sword decapitates or knocks limbs off
BR/DMR hits enemy in the head like a baseball bat
pistol whips and a bullet to the dome.
If there were to be assassinations…I think every weapon should have its own set of unique assassinations…like putting the shotgun to the back of someones head and just blowing it off…
Personally I want more visceral and spartan efficient methods of assassination perhaps stealth assassinations eg covering the opponents mouth whilest doing it so he/she is quiet while dying
Have you considered the high possibility that the assassination system wont be in H4?
It was absolutely awesome in Reach,but I don’t think that theyll have it for both canonical and gameplay reasons

Now that I think of it, I don’t thin it would be that hard for 343i to wright a few lines of code so it’s more of a player’s choice vs game type settings, just make it so there is a option in the settings menu under game play, that lets you pick rather or not when you mash the melee button when you assassinate some one, it starts the the cool assassination move, or just does the normal quick kill. It makes every one happy, all most, people who have it off will still have to deal with the animation if some one with it on kills them.
Also, the endless amount of assassinations isn’t endless if you factor in gore and stuff, also the list of assassinations get short if have to deal with laws. >.> I wish Halo could be as gory as FEAR and Dead Space. :3

Reasons such as…?
What would canon have to do with performing a assassination?
why would they remove it from gameplay? Your suppose to use to discretion when your using a assassination move. Shouldn’t be trying to do it in the middle of a firefight.
As long as they bring back assassinations I’ll be happy.
