- I just wanted to say thank you all so much for the crazy amount of support that I got on my last video. I never expected to get so much support, especially not in such a short amount of time. And I am really grateful for everyone who made that possible. So thank you all, and I hope you enjoyed this video as much as the last one!

"I don't like assassinations"
Tap for backsmack
Hold for assassination
Simple
Yeah. Thats how it has always been. i don't understand anyone who complains about it.
Shh don't tell them that. They need an excuse to get mad at when they're bad at the game
Or just toggle it in the settings, like halo 5, anyone who doesn't like assassinations doesn't have a leg to stand on
It should be a custom game and campaign thing
because they suck🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, favorite assasination in 5 was emile's reguards since it's quick, and subtle but stylish
I used it constantly
101 ways to die personally. brutal, and epic
Never understood that they took them out; they’ve been meaningful. It’s always been about bragging rights. And looking cool. Things that should take precedent over pro players that either don’t know the difference between tap and hold, or who didn’t bother to check the settings to disable them. And if you get assassinated, you had it coming because it teaches you to check your six.
Love this comment, assassinations was like T-bagging without T-bagging. Don't want to get assassinated? Watch your radar!
I've seen 2 reasons awhile back as to why they didn't bring the back. One was because they took too long and two is because ppl were accidentally assassinating ppl which I still don't understand how when you have to hold it 😂. I also think that they just didn't get around to finishing them because if you were there when Halo Infinite released there was only quick play and BTB. We also didn't have as much armor in the game hell even parts of the campaign were left out.
@@jonpapi_2247campaign released later after drop
Exactly that because they are too *toxic* for these modern audiences
@jonpapi_2247 those are stupid reasons
That's exactly the only thing what I need to come back into the game.
You don't know how much I love and miss assassinations on Halo.
Yoink
Im not buying this game because of it halo reach 4 and 5 are the only games that have it
Nah. The "competitive" players need to stop pissing and moaning about this and 343 needs to stop listening to them. Assassinations were always an optional thing. Tap for an instant backsmack kill, or hold for an assassination. If these players aren't skilled enough to know the difference between tap and hold, then they have no place being in the "competitive" scene in Halo. Halo Reach had a thriving competitive scene without people bitching about assassinations. These guys aren't as skilled as they think they are.
I completely agree, the fact that you could turn them off in Halo 5 should have been enough but apparently not.
They listened to them during development of multi... Turned out that it was a bad idea
@@IDoABitOfTrollinThey most certainly have not listened to anybody. Any pro would tell you how trash H4, H5, and Infinite's multiplayer is in their eyes. 343 getting pros involved is simply a PR move and they just ignore their input usually.
Agree in every single point, and also you know even if they still cry about it, there is a SIMPLE solution, add a god damn toggle, either to the player, or the competitive playlist and thats it, cry babies get what they want and everybody wins.
Lol the whole listening to pros is a coverup. Truth is they were just so behind in development that they couldn’t afford to waste time on less important things like assassinations
Remember folks whenever a video is titled with a question it’s answer is almost always no.
Sad but true in most cases. But I did make the video with the hope of a yes coming soon!
Making decisions about the game catering to the preference of the 1% of the 1% of players is horrible game design.
Competitive halo has become more than just 1% of players and actually has become majority. But their thought process on how those players don't like them just isn't true and they know that
@theserpx Google is free bruh. And the tremendous amount of ranked league players shows as well how much competitivers have gone up
Why do you think they got rid of Fem Spartan body types?
By catering to the 1% they've alienated the other 99% who enjoyed how it was before.
@@cvlcek144just disable them in ranked. Problem solved.
@@KollektorKahn Don't disable them at all. Again. The competitive scene don't hate them. They've always been around and there's never been complaints
When i started playing Infinite it felt so weird not having assassinations because it was something i grew to do so often in Halo 5 (since they were customizable) as it felt satisfying being able to sneak up behind someone and get rewarded with a cool cutscene… than again I’ve gotten used to it not being in infinite like i forget it was a thing but when i do remember 💔
I know right? I grew up with halo 5 too and seeing how different it was, was well.. shocking to say the least
reading this comment made me sad😓
If they add assassinations I hope we can use them on the Banished, on brutes, jackals, grunts, elites, skimmers, and maybe even brute chieftains.
I feel like that would be a given no? That's how the assassinations worked every other time, so if they just made them for Spartans... I think that would cause more backlash than anything.
Good video. If they add assassinations I’ll definitely redownload the game and maybe even make some videos on it.
Thanks for the feedback! Lets hope for the best!
Good luck getting used to all the added stuff... Shit blew up since I last played
Nice comment! I’d love if they brought back assassinations as well! -DaDickTreez @SneaksTSN
Just give us the option to turn them on or off like auto clamber. Everyone’s happy.
There was an option for that in halo five!
Really hoping they add this into Infinite. it was a fun thing to have
cool vid! exciting for sure, definitely hoping the leaked combat knife isn't just another weapon charm lol. maybe it's the flow of infinite but I feel like I get the least amount of backsmacks on enemies versus reach/4/5, so that being said if they're added in they'll be even rarer and hopefully cooler than previous. my favourite H5 one was emile's regards, classy with a huge showcase of the knife we're hopefully seeing soon.
Definitely a great choice of assassination, I had a lot of friends use Emile's Regards. And if the knife just turned out to be a charm I'd probably actually cry.
Nope there's a voice line that was leaked where your spartan say combat knife deployed, combat knife stowed
I think of the latest info that 343 gave was they simply didn’t do the rigging for the animations to be played out, so yeah they just scrapped them to make it to release date
FINALLY A NEW VIDEO!!!! YESSSS
What if assassinations gave you like half overshields or something
I think that would be a great idea!
@@itsNabezBrain damage
@@christopherrapczynski204 it be like that
Idk about that... I would rather keep them as something cosmetic, akin to an emote. Not a gameplay mechanic.
No, that would be annoying
Bring them back. You can always tap for a backsmack anyways. Add a feature in settings where you can toggle them off (even if you accidentally hold the button too long) since it matters so much to the super sweaty nerds.
That’s already a thing in all the other ones
my favourite was always the mid air dunk, or the energy sword. I really hope situation specific assassinations are beought back as well and it isnt purely a cashgrab to sell one offs.
I'm sure they would still keep the default/situational assassinations. They would probably just sell the custom ones anyway.
Or you do different slots for even more profit... i mean assassinations. Customizable air/air, air to ground, crouch, sprint assassinations.
I feel like they still need to turn back on player collision models for assassinations to feel good. It's jarring enough when a teammate clips through you then all of a sudden, your bullets are hitting them or your grenade bounces off them back at you... And it's still sad there's no way to unlock armor outside of the battlepasses without spending real money. At this point, if assassinations come back, I'd almost prefer they bring back the Lootboxes from Halo 5. Although it was random, at least everything was earnable through gameplay.
Those are just some of my thoughts, I do hope they come back though. Great video, I subbed.
Thank you very much for your perspective. I agree with you on a lot of things by the sound of it, but the sad part is I don't think that we're ever really gonna get the "Halo" feel back until we get a new release. There are just too many errors to cover in this game, and if they really want to get it right they're going to have to start over from the bottom. That being said I really would enjoy having them back for now at least, even if player collision didn't come with it. And you know what? A lot of people don't realize how much the req system actually did for us. Having different rarities of items incentivized 343 to create better versions of weapons that we've already had for years , like the blaze of glory shotgun for example. And if not better versions at least more fun versions, there are so many guns that I would love to see come back in the later releases but we probably will never see them again unless they bring back warzone as a permanent playlist. Thank you so much for the sub, and support! I really do appreciate it!
The amount of times I've killed myself with the rocket launcher on husky raid because a teammate ran in front of me is unreal I have to say
I was with you until: "And it's still sad there's no way to unlock armor outside of the battlepasses without spending real money" This is a blatant lie. I've gotten Many armour pieces, and customisations for free Outside of bought battle passes. and People have even made charts pointing out how much IS free.
@@facelesshalo5174I think the fact that none of that is registering is telling as to just how piss poor the customization model for Infinite is as a whole. Nothing is earned by playing the game outside of a battle pass (event passes are battle passes) aside from the Watchdog coating (which makes you play an entirely different Halo game to earn it). You want a diamond coating? Watch 3 hours of a Twitch stream. You want this event item? Go progress through this battle pass. The only other earnable item is the MC core you get for earning max rank. Achievement-based armor would solve this issue since it's not like every person who plays the game can be seen running around with that stuff. That wouldn't fit the participation trophy experience that gaming has wholeheartedly endorsed though
@@facelesshalo5174yeah I’m a free player and even though I joined during season 4 I don’t feel limited by the customization at all. I wish you could do a bit more with armor colors but I have enough coatings to make it work for however I feel. Items from the rank system other than chief’s armor would be cool but I’m happy with what there already is
The assassinations in Halo remind me of the finishers in Smackdown vs Raw 2006 because the animation is too slow but its so satisfying to pull off every time I pulled off an assassination in Halo Reach I felt like an badass
Tbh if they can add assasinations in bundles it’s definetly a very big money maker
I'd love to see it!
Idea: you know how the name of dead players shows up above their body and stays for like 10 seconds so your team can see who died where? What if assassinations stopped the name of the player killed from showing up like that? You’d just be playing and all of a sudden notice that one of the players is gone. You’d look around but you can’t find the body so you don’t know where the enemy that killed them is
That's a great Idea! Another idea that I had would be adding a longer respawn timer for assassinated players. Just a few extra seconds nothing crazy, but that would definitely incentivize assassinations over a normal kill!
@@SG_Exel Back strike is a quick kill so you can get back into the action quicker and/or be less vulnerable. Assassinations are flashier and longer, but give some kind of bonus besides just style points.
I hope if they do bring back they go the route of reach and halo 4 with direction based assassinations
Well if they brought them back, those would obviously be the default set like it has been forever. The non directional assassinations would be the ones for sale most likely
I hope they have them in because that I love them in Hallo Reach End Halo four and halo five so hopefully they do at Assassinations
Not only assinations. But also more crazy weapons like halo 5.
Maybe assassinations could make it so that persons death marker won't show, maybe it wouldn't be all to impactful with good communication but it's a good idea.
In Halo Reach you could do an assassination in the air. Air Assasination is what it was called.
You could also do that in 4 and 5.
W video man great to see you uploading! came from the gang up video 6 years ago! time flies man
Oh my oh my how awesome that would be! I really hope that they do bring them back as well as assassinations on enemies in campaign and firefight!!🙏🙏
They also said that they literally need to redo every character rigging (player and enemies) or something like that, so that assassinations can even work.
Right behind you! I can’t wait.
"everything is gonna be the new supernova"
did anyone else take this as a titanfall reference
Not how I meant it but I'll take it! TF2 had some killer executions too!
@@SG_Exel Just for context, supernova is the name of a widely used camo in Titanfall 2 popularized by one of the community’s most known creators
@@blockglock Thanks for the context! Funny how it makes sense both ways too!
i recently sold everything on halo 5 for req points for my final couple gold packs, after celling everything i managed to make enough for just 25 gold packs. Last pack i got 104 Ways To Die assassination, the fastest killtime for an assassination in the whole game. I can now die happy :)
Warms my heart to see people playing H5 still!
the combat knife on the screenshot says "throwing knife" in french, i don't expect it to have anything to do with assassinations
thank you yeah that took me a 30sec google search lmao wtf is this assassination talk
coutaeu de lancer means throwing knife, which means the Combat Knife is probably going to be throwable.
fusil a canon scie means sawed-off shotgun.
arme inconnue means unknown weapon, so Rancher for as far as we know, is unknown
im getting high off hopium that this video is true
not having assassinations is exactly the last feature i want to consider giving time to infinite.
Assassinations in Halo is my favorite thing ever.
I have a feeling you and I would be good friends.
Honestly Assassination is one of the simple features that are just *chef kiss* I hope to see it in the future. Honestly it’s something I’d spend moneybon
I would also definitely spend money on it for sure. It just feels so clean when you pull an assassination off.
>bring back assassinations
>add a toggle for them in the settings
Boom, balanced, simple
They should have had assassination since the beginning. And they better not hide the assassinations behind their shop. At least have them available in the battle passes or whatever they're called now.
Assassinations don’t need a competitive advantage, many companies players love the normal sandbox but just don’t use everything in comp play because did things work better for comp. And the ones that hate anything that they don’t use in comp are the ones kinda ruining stuff like this
I really hope assassinations make a return. Makes great for screenshots as well. Though with melee weapons, if the UNSC ever get their own, I'd say a combat knife would be great as a fast yet weaker weapon of choice which would be great. Maybe 2 to 3 hits. Another one that could work would probably be a Stun Baton? 2 to 3 hits for that too, slower than the knife but a bit faster than the energy sword for comparison. Especially since we've got elements they could add more to the shock section with that weapon
Cool content dude, you have a nice voice and tho you have 600 subs, I think you have the potential to be a great halo content creator!
Thank you so much! This is actually my first comment to address me directly, and it was a compliment! I'm gonna save your comment for the sad days when I feel like shit lol.
I’d love to be able to assassinate boss enemies if they’re low or 1% health like Warden Eternal from Halo 5. Hunters in Halo Reach and Halo 2 in the MCC can be boarded and you can beat them down or plant a grenade in them basically assassinating them.
I never knew you could board hunters, are you sure? I guess now I gotta go look it up because I've always wanted to do that but I never knew you could already!
retroactively adding Reach's assassination animations to the Reach-themed season pass would be cool.
Interestingly I'm Firefight sometimes an erroneous prompt will show up "Hold E to execute player". I don't believe it shows up in any other mode, it could be nothing, but it could be something
That would be for allowing players to deny a revive to the enemy team in other game modes where the revive mechanic is implemented. Why that shows up in firefight for you is beyond my comprehention.
assassinations need to come after networking is fixed, we've all felt how bad it is when you prestige someone with bad lag and weird stuff happens like they walk off while you're stuck in an animation getting pelted by the enemy
I definitely agree that the networking needs fixed, but they are working on it!
I suggest they allow assassination animations and in settings have a toggle button to turn assassinations on and off for your character
They had a setting in Halo 5 for this exact thing
Yeah, they had that in halo 5 so it shouldn't be an issue for infinite
bro legit my fav part of halo, all the glitches and tech you can do w em too, miss them lots
I'd love to have assassinations come back in Campaign too.
I would legitimately replay the whole halo infinite campaign just to do it with assassinations.
I'm ok with them making the Assassinations purchasable. As long as they give us the assassinations that came with Halo Reach, Halo 4, Halo 5, as default depending on what angle you came in like:
- Hitting the back from above
- Hitting the Right shoulder
- Hitting Mid-Air Assassinations
- Hitting the Legs
- Melee Weapon Specific Assassinations
- Game Mode Specific Assassinations
As long as we get the Default ones, I'm down to buying new ones that look cool and that cost $5 (500 Credits). No more than that or it's a rip-off.
I think that they would have to have a default set. Having assassinations as a pay only feature would probably be a huge problem.
heres how much i like assassinations, i grinded out the armour set in Halo 4 on the 360 and would aim for it in Halo 5, hell in MW2019 i would do it every chance i could, hell im still doing it in MW3 cause i spawn a little person to punch people in the nuts, i hope they bring em back for Infinite and can be done on more then just spartans but also AI.
When i was playing MW2 dmz. I couldnt stop thinking about how great the mode would be for halo.
Halo desperately needs more coop content.
As time as gone on it's become clear as day that all the times 343i said "X will not be there at launch" for Halo Infinite they actually meant "Halo Infinite will never have X"
Not entirely true. Forge, infection, customs browser, etc. We'll find out sooner or later.
Lemme get that Super Nova assassination again from H5
I'd honestly rather the store be filled with stuff like emblems, assassinations, stances, armor effects, and weapon/vehicle coatings than with actual armor and armor coatings. Nothing is worse than seeing a badass coating or helmet just to look it up and find out it's part of a $20 bundle filled with other shit you don't want. I'm definitely one of those Halo players that's more open to the franchise evolving and changing (Reach is my favorite), but I'll always prefer the old-school approach to earning armor that Halo 3 had. Even doing what Halo 4 kind of did and mixing Halo Reach and 3's armor chase systems is preferable to buying it in the store. If assassinations being added brings us closer to that future, then I'm all for it
I covered the store topic with all the bundles and bull crap in the video before this one. It's definitely something that I'm upset about too believe me.
Didnt halo reach basically introduce "Assassinations" now its in like every game? Except infinite? wth
I think my favorite assassination from 5 was called Beatdown, it was the one showcased when you talked about the knife, where the guy punches a few times first.
At this point, Assassinations are the only thing that will bring me back to infinite, and they better extend to PvE as well.
i was thinking about what they could mean when they say "add it in a meaningful way" They just haven't figured out how to fully monetize it yet. the knife is probably going to be a skin that you are equipped to use in your assignation. and you can change it out (buy) for different ones.
Terminal Velocity is the coolest assassination in slow mo, and you can’t change my mind
i can see, whenever this release, everyone playing trying to do an assassinations in every match
I know I tried it.
Wake me...when you need me.
Yk, there’s also the fact that they could just be in the new operations… the stuff that’s free. Also, I think a more important feature would be playable elites, which have been in just as many halo games as assassinations have been. 3.
The dance between two players hold more story than an entire match.
Moments forgotten when pleading for teammates to save them, team stealing the kill, saving your teammate, oblivious teammates as ones geeting killed next to them, etc. So many moments in a match. Halo needs more expressions
With assassinations comes Venator armor core!!! Lets gooo
I miss the Venator Armor set so bad, it was the first set I earned in Halo 4!
Some time ago I heard a theory that the assassination could use cosmetic knives, which instead of being due to defects
Soooo... I speak and read french (its my native language) The Combat knife says "Couteau de lancer" which translates to *Throwing Knife*. Don't wanna burst Your bubble but I don't think this will be for Assassinations, it might be a new "Grenade type" like if You take someones shield down and are reloading You can throw it really really fast (Much faster than other grenades).
Damn, you did burst my bubble but a throwing knife still sounds cool.
Thanks for the heads up, but I think a throwing knife would be a stupid idea. I mean we're in titanium alloy armor for god sake. The power and velocity you would have to throw a knife at to Pierce armor made out of that strong of an alloy would be insane even for a spartan.
@@SG_Exel I agree its stupid but that is the translation :( Hopefully 343i are just bad at french and made a grammar mistake.
@@115spt2 I really hope so too!
@@SG_Exel If it makes You feel any better the Falcon says the Mini Warthog of the sky, the Pelican says "The even bigger warthog of the sky" and the phantom says "The red version" also one of the maps says "A l"infinie et au dela" Which means *To infinity and BEYOND!* lol
I love Assassinations in Halo Reach Gun Game bc they demote someone's gun tier. Plus they're funny and cool. I hope after the Networking improvements, that they implement Assassinations next.
I hope so too!
"Huffing the Hopium" is my new favorite phrase.
I just got a new can on it for my inhaler
imagine removing a feature because you think competitive play is more important than 90% of your playerbase, but also releasing a game thats hardly "e-sports ready"
The day assassinations come back, is the day I and probably many others come back for good
Honestly, once i find one i like that fits the mental image of my spartan, it'll be the one i stick with and it would be nice if they launch the assassinations with a "Lone Wolves 2" since it goes with that aesthetic
Literally people who make the argument that “Assassinations” take too much time, what a joke. They can easily implement a button layout toggle them on and off.
Not to mention the average animation time for a kill was like 2.3 seconds lol.
im curious as to what the devs were thinking when they said they couldn't fit into the sandbox and then proceed to add the fucking cindershot
literally made me laugh out loud reading this. I completely agree, I hate that gun personally.
The Text above the knife says throwing knife translated
People complain about them getting in the way but if they do add them to the game you can just literally turn it off in settings. So it shouldn't be an issue unless you're too lazy to go to settings and turn it off.
No kidding, it would take two seconds to turn them off for yourself.
Its nice to see your spartan do something cool
I'd kill for assassinations to make a comeback, but they need to fix the extreme inconsistency of successful melee attacks. I am not sure if its a desync issue or the player collision stuff, but it ruins melee combat for me. Energy swords and hammers not landing hits or kills point blank, but someone can lunge at me with a sword from 20ft away...really stupid. Or someone backsmacking you when you phased through them halfway. If they could fix thise issues I'd be very happy to see assassinations return.
I could care less if competitive players cry about assassinations. I was Onyx or a rank below that in Halo 5 ranked all the time and I took every opportunity to use assassinations when I could. If people cant learn how to tap-kill or just toggle the feature, then they shouldn't be playing ranked or competitive matches. If you got killed by assassinations, thats too bad, thats the part of the game. Its likely 343 would make it a toggled feature in ranked anyway or for HCS tournaments. Halo is too sweaty anymore, I can take or leave ranked. Casual play is starting to get too sweaty anymore and takes the fun out of it. Having more fun weapons and assassinations are part of what bring the sandbox to life, and I look forward to any content that will continue to make Halo thrive and be the best game franchise to exist. Side note, I'd kill for Warzone to make a comeback and all the REQ weapons. We have a few but I want more, lol.
I think the halo sandbox might be my next video topic. A lot of people don't realize it but most of the fun stuff that we got in Halo 5 was only because of the req system and warzone, and I would love to see it all come back honestly. At least you could earn armor with req points and shit. You can't do that in infinite though, everything's ten dollars a pop or more.
If assassinations come back to Halo, so will I. Yes, getting tge smsll things done matters that much to me.
I used to run the "Aw Snap" assassination. I showed my girlfriend all the assassinations in H5 and that's the only one she was grossed out by. Mostly from the audible crunch from the elbow break lol
Dang man, hid w/ invis sword to kill me 😝 GGs man ~Risky
No fucking way you found my channel, did I tell you when we were hanging out?😂
“If they can add assassinations then they can add counters, so if they can add counter they can add button mashing, do we REALLY want this to be INFINITE?”
If they add assassinations back in, then if you’re equipped with the correct load out on BTB, you should be able to press buttons kinda like a mash but then there’s the whole “what if someone else walks in” but tbh adding that would take out skill basis
If they are coming back they’ll likely make them something you’ll either buy or earn in a season pass maybe.
I think having a combat knife in general would be a cool addition to halo infinite. Hoping for assassinations though.
video starts at 3:02
I liked the assassinations. Give them strategic use, so you can make a moment-to-moment decision to back punch or assassinate... for example... a successful assassination might give the assassin instant shield recharge or temporary overshield, whereas, if you just need them quickly dead and dont need a shield boost.. go for the back punch.
Actually assassinations "started" in Halo 3, just as a simple back smack with no animation. But still I was a little surprised that it was an earnable medal in multiplayer even if it had no animation. Just something I noticed when I was younger
4:30 Oh no... my worst fear has been revealed
Personally if they do come back and end up in the store there should be a preview of them so we know what to buy and don't buy
There will if they release them, similar to the armor effects. The one thing Infinite got right about the store is showing you exactly what you are paying for.
I think they would have to yeah, I hope they would do that for us anyway.
Very good point.
My guess it’s going to be equipment like the grapple hook, you have to have the combat knife in order to do an assassination, which is kinda lame cuz it means you have to actively go for assassinations while you have it, instead of an assassination presenting itself naturally. like you walk up behind a player but can’t do the assassination because you don’t have the knife? Hopefully it’s added by default
I’d hop back on halo if they did bring assassinations back.
Hell yeah.
Best way to introduce assassinations that get rid of all the negatives people have
Keep the old system of different assassinations depending on the angle, BUT, make them like battlefield 4 where they're both quick and in first person. Maybe even add the part where you steal their dog tags (emblem)
Interesting idea, but I like how they zoom out. Personally I would hope they do what Titan Fall 2 did and give us a cinematic angle to watch. I think that would be awesome.
@@SG_Exel True, shame we can't have the old styled ones but need to compromise
Just have an option to turn it on or off much simpler
My favorite from "5" has to be 'Shove It'
Reach assassinations were one of the last things made by Halo that were copied by every other shooter after it. Bring them back
Yeah. I hate that COD has them now and we don't.
@@SG_Exeli do the finishers every opportunity i get.
So many times ive let my team mates hanging cause i wanted to curb stomp someone i downed. Throwing knives are wack, no style.
There probably just using that style knife to b in halo themed cuz there not gonna use some random looking knife for halo. There gonna obviously use the classic reach knife regardless of assasinations coming or not
the solution to this would be adding a melee weapon (knife,blade) with assassination animations
I honestly wouldn't see that working at all. It's a fun idea for a game like The Finals where you can spawn in with only one weapon at a time, but for Halo? I can't see that working.
@@SG_Exel well we had it working on reach and halo 4 and 5 except it was on melee, pretty much same except its limited to knifes
@@Spartanlyra I completely understood your concept the first time I read your comment, I just don't see that working well is all. The knife would have to have a weapon spawner so there could only be one or two at a time, the strike damage would have to be good enough to incentivize picking it up, etc. I just don't see it working well. There would have to be some kind of added mechanic to make the knife usable outside of assassinations for it to even be viable during gameplay. You know what I mean?
@@SG_Exel I see, I guess to compensate we would need damage or active camo or speed increase, something like that.
Simple answer is: no. We are not getting them in Halo Infinite. They say it was on the table, when realistically it was in the trash since the beginning.
I hope the system leans more toward reach and less toward 5 though. I remember in reach and 4 what animation played depended on context and where you hit them. If a wide variety of animations exist for each context and hit region this could be amazing. If its like 5 where its almost always the animation you have equipped, I won't find myself enjoying this system nearly at all.
I'm right there with you, huffing hopium
They definitely just did not have the time to add assassinations for launch. Based on the state of release, I’m convinced this game must’ve had one of the bumpiest developments 343 has dealt with. They probably had so many setbacks. Whether it was because they were working on a new engine or what idk but i find it hard to believe they made that decision for any other reason.
Yeah I'm pretty sure the term they used was "Technical Dept" which basically means they had temporary employees coding the game. So essentially they didn't know how to fix a lot of stuff, or add new stuff for the longest time.
@@SG_Exel oh yeah I remember hearing that somewhere. Season 5 is the first season that actually makes it seem like they finally have things sorted out. Imo the game would’ve never been complete without firefight. Still really want assassinations though.
I kind of wish that Assassinations were at least available in PVE.
Right there with you bro.
It’s crazy that in the one live service game with micro transactions they didn’t add it. So much money could be made.
