Wow, one thing i have noticed about this game is the number of assists (kills that get stolen from me)there are, it is fine sometimes but then if you are putting in loads of effort killing someone and you get the assist it can get annoying. Sometimes i miss being able to kill my teammates.
On a positive note i got a roadtrip medal yesterday, that was cool
When are people going to learn that assists in team games are more important than kills the vast majority of the time?
I never intentionally “steal” kills, and go out of my way to help fellow team mates if I can. But at the end of the day, it’s a videogame. Like everyone else, I’m playing for fun.
It’s a team based game. You don’t “steal” kills, imo. You contribute to them. Whoever contributes most to them in a given shield cycle, gets the kill. The alternative is assuming you’ll win, and risking letting you die, and then potentially dying myself as well. The optimal result will come from everyone doing what is best both for themselves, and the team, to the best of their ability.
In short, if someone is in my range and I can kill them, I will do everything in my power to kill them. Fortunately for players like yourself, I kind of suck. So that shouldn’t be a major concern lol. 
One time, I got 18 assists in a single match of slayer, and about 13 kills. That feel.
Many people(like me)like having at the end of the game a positive K/D.Means i did good,i avoided dying,also managing to get assists(every match i play i get a minimum of 6 assists)
Whoever says K/D means nothing is completely wrong.
In past halo games assists never worked properly, now in halo 4 if you put one bullet into your opponent you get a assist.
I actually enjoyed getting Assist no matter who gets the kill due to one of the Visor requirments Assistant Master =)
If the Assist actually worked the right way in Reach, you most likely wouldnt notice a thing now. I like assists now because they’re actually legit and finally give points at least. People take kills in video games and thats never gonna change. I dont personally but better than nothing.
Is this what gaming has evolved to? People complaining about being good teammates?
I much preferred how they worked in Reach. In this I get SICK of seeing “Assist” intrusively popping up in the centre of my screen every five seconds. Check my history, I think I was top assists three matches in a row last night.
When it impacts your final score line - when you have padded out other players stats at the expense of your own; it becomes VERY frustrating.
343i were wrong to change it. I’m tired of having a hard fought one-on-one battle with someone only for a team mate to turn up out of the blue and easily land the final bullet. Sometimes these guys get 20 kills and 3 assists by the end of the match, purely off the back of their better team mates. Instead of making me feel like I’m contributing, I ultimately feel like I’m being robbed.
For me, the assists are to Halo 4 what bloom was to Reach. Easily just as infuriating.
i like to get assists, because it shows me that i did something good for my team. i´m not a good player and getnot that much kills, but i like to play halo (includes the problems in H4 ;)). And if i go out of a game with 0 death 0 kills and 15 assists, thats ok.
BUT … i can understand you, sometimes it bothers.
> Is this what gaming has evolved to? People complaining about being good teammates?
Lol, that’s what I was thinking… You are supposed to assist eachother. The more assist your team gets, then more personal drops for your team. You also keep eachother alive meaning… Less personal drops for your enemies. Also, assist are easier to get in H4 compared to Reach. So keep on assisting eachother, it’s a good thing.
It’s frustrating, it always feels like my teammates are waiting for that one shot D:
I have had a game with 19 kills and 23 assists…I like the assists as it shows Teamwork. I have had plenty of games where assists actually outnumber my kills…still don’t care…it helped us win…again, Teamwork.
If there was a ranking system based on W/L no one would complain about getting assists.
Just sayin’.
Much more important than a K/D ratio is the K+A/D ratio.
If you don’t like playing as a team, play a FFA game type. Or work on your aim, I always get more assists than my brother because his aim and speed is a lot better than me.

Please, go play some other game.
I don’t quite understand why people complain about getting assists. If this were Reach, you would not get your kill and not get any points for an assist (since assists seemed quite few and far between). I help my teammates kill the other team, they help me kill them. Whoever gets the points, it doesn’t matter as long as we win, in my opinion.
There is no way for 343 to “fix” getting so many assists. As others have said, its an online multiplayer game and others will killsteal. Learn to deal or play FFA.
lol people ITT complaining about getting help.
Next time I’ll just let them kill you, and get to work on that Avenger commendation.
