why i have been waiting forever and i do not want the 5 minute halo 5 ones the 2 second ones from halo reach

Because as far as weâre aware, no one is working on assassinations. Itâs not on the radar and I havenât heard anyone talk about it.

maybe the same reason why there is no firefight game mode like in halo 5 and reach.
same with some other game typeâs like griftbal and living death.
for one thing i know for sure that a lot off stuff from the other halo gameâs people wane see return in halo infinite and are still waiting if there return at all.

It was talked about before the game launched that it wouldnât be ready in time even after infinite was delayed a year. 343 did say that assassinations weâre going to be added at some point after launch, but they didnât have a time frame, it wasnât part of any roadmaps and it wasnât high on the âto doâ list since they wanted features like co-op, forge, firefight, and many other big pieces of content brought into the game first.
If I remember correctly, there was an open discussion that took place and a rough estimate of time for getting the feature into the game was to be a minimum of with or after season 3, but keep in mind, this convo took place a looooong time ago, long before many of the delays and before they started going back on planned features & altered a ton of the roadmap stuff⌠and before they gave any indication that they were falling behind schedule with all the things they messed up on, so really, if the feature is still on the list of planned content (but hasnât been given a timeline yet), I bet we wonât see it for at least another year. Itâll probably get lumped into a content release alongside things when they add stuff, like a content drop that adds a new map, weapon, armor core or when they make all coatings universal. But it def wonât be added all by itself. And thatâs a big IF they decide to follow thru with releasing assassinations.
Long story short⌠it was mentioned long ago. It was planned for release at least 3 seasons after and that was before all the trouble and delays were made public. Now, itâs prob a year or whatever away and thatâs if they donât go back on their word (again) and scrap the feature. But it was planned to be added eventually. That was at least true.

Because theyâre not remotely important to the survival of this game. They add just about zero value to the game, unlike other things missing from the game.
Theyâre going to prioritize important things first before adding those in.

i think notting newâs will help to survive the game at this point.
there need to start with fixing the big mess is for a once good like adding a lot permante playlistâs, have start is with a good contant flow by adding more maps to play on and most off all fix a lot off systems problems we have for a long time.
like to keep the item shop good up to date and the battlepass?

i think that the stuff you call like firefight and other things have a big trouble now since you know really good that there is a big trust problem between the developers and the communety since there promise first at the E3 we get Co-Op split screen and almost close from the release its been remove.
and its not only assassinations people wane see return its the same with a lot off armorâs and weapons and vehicles and maps.
and then i have not talk about the game typeâs list people wane see return in halo infinite from other halo titels.
there is a giga big wish list people wane see return in halo infinite but first there most fix the game good and restore the trust in the game since without trust you have almost no playerbase at all to add new stuff in the game from other titels.
Bruh, they just barely got Forge as a Beta out the door ⌠Like the rest of us have come to terms with this game not being complete until like 2025.
Just do what the rest of us did. Found other games to play for a few hours of the week. Instead of HaloâŚ
Ingots No man Sky, MW2, I also have Warzone 2 and Pokemon Scarlet dropping soon.
Take a break from Halo, or just go and make random stuff in forge. I have a whole map thatâs just a test build area⌠built a shooting range with Bots and combination weapons. I got a Needler that shoots explosive roundsâŚ
At this point asking why isnt this or that in the game is pointless. I mean they posted a roadmap where they had report players in game as its own bullet point, that could have easily gone under Quality of life tab but they wanted to add Fluff to that roadmap to make it seem like itâs a lot ⌠remember that for the next 6 months too.
Because there are still a heap of improtant things ahead of them in the âto doâ list.
If they implemented assassinations now people would be raging about all the things still missing or broken that should have been sorted out first.
The other context to the discussion was trying to work out how to make them relevant again.
They mentioned that most people simply turned them off anyway. I guess to avoid being getting yoinked by team-mates. And/or being exposed for the trade.
They would make a great addition to the BP or store - so fingers crossed.
How you gonna have assassinations in a game where two people somehow trading back smacks is not an uncommon occurrence? So the answer is desync.

Personally, I think there are many much more pressing non-aesthetic issues to address since the game is still not finished. Thereâs still no grenade indicators or anything to show if a thrown grenade or projectile is friendly, which is a big issue with no friendly fire. The progression system is jsut finally being sort of overhauled and still needs lots of work. The customization system is still far from complete. And lots of key features that shouldâve been Day 1 standard elements and just starting to come out of beta.
Iâm glad there are no assassinations. They are utterly pointless and waste time.
The only way having assassinations would make any gameplay sense is if back smack was removed, which Iâm sure would cause even more people to whine than the removal of assassinations has.
waaaaaaaaaay low on the priority list my dudeâŚwaaaaaaay low, as in not happening in infinite low
if there are pointless why are the assassinations one of the most commen requestâs people have post on wish list threads there wane see return in halo infinite.
All assassinations were was just flashy annoyances. I say good riddance

I personally never liked them. Nothing like going for a simple back smack just to be put in an animation that makes you a sitting duck. Listen I get killed plenty, i do not need extra help.
Would be funny to see clips of two people doing the animation to each other, not gonna lie.

I agree, assassinations are fun. I hope they add them back in. As far as monetization goes, it would make sense for them to add them because people would pay for the premium ones. For a game that is now relying on in game purchases they didnât really think through all that stuff. Its almost like theyâve never played their own games.
Well, yes. Though are things that actually are important to the game now. Even if they only put recycled stuff in, they need to keep the shop moving.
so you tell that the item shop is more important then fixing the mess this game has now?
this game has so much troubleâs and problems that a lot give no crap about the item shop at all or the battlepass.
the important things there need to do now is only focus on fixing the problems since its a compleet mess that only becomeâs more a mess with each update so far.
if players leave the game since its so broken and a mess then the item shop is compleet pointless and the battlepass also if there are no players to buy it.
and what is the reason why players leave is that the multiplayer is so broken and a big mess so fixing it in more important then any item shop stuff at all.
They did say early on that at some point they would be added i canât wait cuz that was one of my favorite things to do!! I think they should do it a diffferent way then just holding it down because when coming up behind especially with camo there were times that i went for a back smack to kill the first person and assassin the other it started to perform the assassination and it blew my cover and i was killed. Maybe have it be a two button combo to activate the assassination idk regardless I hope for it to come back along with warzone and firefight Iâd love to see classic weapons return or different variants like they did in H5 guardians that was one thing really enjoyed from the game which i hope and pray that one day all those things return
