Not having assassinations is disappointing

the reasoning from the stream about why they are taking a step back to evaluate assassinations makes sense, but it’s disappointing still. Reach pioneered assassinations and now most FPS games have them in some form thanks to Halo. Not having them is gonna be weird. I love assassinations and I really hope they get added back in because they are super cool and fun to use. Sure, I die half the time I try to use them, but when I do get one off it’s the best feeling.

What’s dissapointing is that you had to make yet another post to spam the forum.

No it aint

wait, people actually use them?, i turn them off because they literally just get you killed by another player

Not really, it’s just an animation

It’s just an animation, but I do agree they are very fun and satisfying and don’t really affect the game negatively.

I’m fine with them being out for the time being. Its great having a reward for placing your melee hits well but I strongly believe it isn’t critical to Halo’s gameplay. And this is coming from someone who loves them.

The only reason I wish assassinations were on is so I can steal my teams kills. Other than that, I always have mine disabled.

Assassinations look cool I’ll grant that, but they literally only hinder the player performing them. Glad they’re out.

I think the development team waiting to bring out assassinations later on after launch is a good thing. Which this being on the backburner but not out, they can focus on other pending implementations and still come back to this as promised.

Isn’t Halo Infinite a live service? They’ll add it in later if it makes sense to.

Edit: Why not punch their backs and then proceed to t-bag for 2 or 3 seconds for the time being. That’s what all of us OG players used to do before Reach gave us animations.

I think them introducing them in more meaningful way makes sense. I would be down for them to have assassination animations only as the last kill (and they can’t be interrupted).
