No assassination because of needing an overhaul of the character rig is absolute BS. Unless they somehow butchered simple skeleton rigging, there's no reason they cant have it done in a day.

Idk about yall, but I don’t remember assassinations being “instantly loved” when it was first in halo reach. I remember a LOT of people saying they were gimmicky and unnecessary, especially old comp players.
This is correct. I was one of those people and didn't like the idea of doing assassinations that left you vulnerable during the animation. At some point it was learned/revealed tap melee if you want to avoid the animation. This voided any complaint because you could have it any way you wanted it. I still hate executions in Doom, it would only make sense if it was the last enemy in the room.
@@JohnDoe11VII I remember finding out about the tap melee and being completely stunned and finally content with the system after that. It was crazy how simple it was to avoid the animation yet I (and many others at the early start) seemed to have missed it back in the day lol.
I'll be honest here. We all know assassinations are going to be monetized out the ass. But - as long as we have a decent base set of assassinations to choose from, it won't upset me too much. Especially if there is true love and passion put into creating some really badass assassinations that I wouldn't mind spending a dollar or two on. But - back to reality here. I have no reason to believe anything like that will happen. We'll probably get one base *super* basic animation to start with, while all the others will go for around $10 a pop - no less than $5 at the very *LEAST.* I wouldn't value them at anything more than $2. But we know how it goes.

Perhaps controversial on this video, but did anyone else not care for assassinations? I didn't realise they were as popular as this video suggests.

"YOINK" was literally one of the greatest medals of all time. A shame 343 fundamentally misunderstood Halo and removed this great feature because its nOt ComPetItIVe
Fan since CE. I never once intentionally performed an assassination animation outside of the Reach achievement. If it’s brought back, it needs to be a toggle.
I have an understanding why it wasn’t in halo infinite, the hellish development caused 343 industries to cut so much, and unfortunately assassinations was one of them, if 343 has enough time to cook the next halo game in the oven, I think that assassinations could make a return!
Hope I’m wrong but Halo will literally never be a great game again. 343 just doesn’t have that vision for it. should’ve just cut it off after 5 and went all in on adding cooler shit to mcc. Say what you want about destiny 2 but bungie just knows how to make a better game man. Blame Microsoft or whoever but 343 has missed the mark in some way with all of their games.

I disagree with you on for because that game is basically Call of Duty with a Halo skin and you can't convince me all you have to do is just fuck around with a custom classes and it just screams Cod
I'm fine with missing out on assassinations, but I do think it's a letdown to not have them going forwards, especially for those who enjoy them. Although I'd rather not have them at all at this rate, because I know they're going to charge us for access to them.
I almost wonder if it was because of the rating. Assassinations have always been up close and personal neck snaps, stabs, short but violent. Of course, it's not like they're the gears of war level stuff, but esrb can be very nitpicky and it makes me think they might have decided to be better safe than sorry
I’m much more frustrated with the lack of animations surrounding vehicles in infinite. I should never jump into an enemy wraith’s turret when trying to board them, or the enemy just jumps out and survives while I’m defenseless.
YOU COULD ASSASSINATE THE WARDEN!?!?! And yeah, while I generally don't like MTX, it's sad that I preferred the Req packs over the overpriced BS we have in Infinite. At least those you were able to earn by playing. They coulda earned so much money from assassinations.
I thought it was such a wasted opportunity, since you could equip knives, throwing knives, machetes, a kukri, Tantos, cyber sword, wrist blades, and a Katana and yet you couldn't assassinate people. How awesome would it have been to have different animations depending on what blade your spartan had? Heck maybe even having multiple equiped could allow multiple possible animations. Such a waste.
Cool yes, efficient no ...... I can't count how many times I had a double or triple kill going only to be stopped by a unwanted assisnation animation. Did I do them sometimes? Oh course I did, when possible it's awesome. Just not efficient. In Reach it was supposed to be where if you held the button it'll perform the animation but it you tapped, it was supposed to back smack. It just never works how it's intended. Also the animation are too long. If Halo had a battle royal I could see finishers something similar to Apex Legends. In Halo Infinite has a hard time registering back smacks as it is.
Didn’t they promise before launch that they would be adding them in later? Should we just add that to the list of promises 343 have made without knowing that they would be able to deliver on said promises?
In the state Infinite is in now, 343 has a lot more time to develop the next game with everything we want in it without rushing it out the door. Hell I’m willing to wait 5+ years for Halo 7 or an ODST sequel or whatever they decide to make to come out, that’s how good the state Infinite is currently in.
Remember, one of the Infinite devs didn't like that the game had realistic guns. So this garbage is honestly not surprising. Its wild how low Halo can fall from grace.
Yes they should add it, matter of fact they should have had it to begin with and 343 did such a good job with H5s Gameplay,(the rest of the game SUCKED but the gameplay itself was very good) but then they disappointed us All AGAIN.
Come to think of it why have I heard people hating the gameplay when it was the only good part about the whole game, (besides the Spartan Ladies) H5s Gameplay actually made you feel like a spartan better than any of the other games combined, if they had a competent writing team and the devs were aloud to cook and if they used the ACTUAL HALO Art Style I would have gone bankrupt to get the game And the console. Hell I'm still waiting for Modders to add the H5 gameplay into OG Halo games, damn that would be so fun.
The crazy thing is that Assassinations are also VERY monetizable. So not it not only hurts the fans, but also hurts their bottom line. Just a lose lose to not have them.
@@Spendingryan Makes sense. It's obvious by now that the game was rushed out the door and that there were tons of management and hiring issues (plus COVID restrictions). Maybe they'll be in the next game and I'm hoping that the lack of Bonnie Ross and changing of all the other execs means that we'll have good run going forward.
I think the reason that no one remembers for assassinations not being in infinite is the games age rating, because infinite isn't M like the other games and assassinations might be too much for infinite's current age rating
This is why I am excited for whenever the indie game called "Murder Miners X" releases, as I want something new but has classic Halo mechanics. Features Halo-like armor with full armor color customization, Halo-like gameplay with assassinations too. It will also have map making, which features tarrain formation like Far Cry games and block building like Minecraft. And it has wall running like Titanfall and ledge-clambering like newer Halos.
@@LoremIpsum1919 It has Halo's type of arena shooter and armor aesthetic but with some extra games mixed in with it. So about 50% Halo(general gameplay, armor, assassinations), 25% Minecraft(blocky structures and block building), 15% Far Cry(terrain manipulation), and 5% Titanfall(wall running).
They should add halo 5 to pc. I doubt they will knowimg how 343/Microsoft is but modders potentially being able to add in custom assassinations would be DOPE! (and just mods for H5 overall)
Assassinations were one of the few new additions I actually liked in Reach, and they were a bit of a highlight in Halo 5, so I have no idea why they would get rid of the feature. Even if you want to argue that Infinite was 343 trying to go back to basics, and make a more classic Halo experience, I don't think classic fans are against the idea of assassinations in general, even if the classic games didn't have them. Really hope the next Halo game has assassinations, among other things like custom colors, playable Elites, etc.
As long as they're toggleable so I can disable triggering them on my end sure :) Personally can't stand them in Reach, they trigger when I don't want them to more often that I do
Your channel is becoming a 343 critique channel with expert level gameplay on the background. I get you’re trying to use this platform and the audience you’ve earned as a way to have a voice and to get our voices out there, but you should know by now that 343 doesn’t care about halo and confirmed as much after they told us they didn’t even like it YEARS ago. I miss when I would see an upload and it was a short clip of the most insane sandbox fuckery I’ve ever seen. Now when I scroll all I see is 343 please please please DOG…. They don’t care…. They’ve never cared. I will NEVER forgive Microsoft or 343 for what they did to my favorite piece of media to ever exist, My childhood, the very thing halo stood for, or the greedy, grubby, slimy monetization of the franchise. Halo used to be fun, pretty unique, and had an incredibly interactive sandbox. Now a days, it’s just another boring sweat fest of an arena shooter just like EVERYTHING is trying to be. Sorry for the tangent at the end, but yeah bro I would just do what makes you happy and stop pleading with those heretics.
Mtx is here to stay, so 343 in next halo if you need to monetize here’s a suggestion. 1. No color monetisation that’s crappy(people don’t notice them anyway because of highlights) 2. Armours(immersion nerds will hate this) they should be wacky or creative. An armor set that makes your Spartan look like a Viking. Sell it for 10-20$ and I promise you’ll be successful. 3. Weapon skins, bullet tracers, weapon skin animations(valorant does this good by giving guns animations and sounds) 4. Assassination animations. 5. AI voices(lmao if they hired some professionals like snoop dog they’d make so much $$. 6. Armor effects. Etc
Halo: Reach and Battlefield 3 assassinations were so popular that Call of Duty adopted them. Both games came out in 2011 and couldn't have copied each other, so they both get the credit in my book. Flash forward 13 years and Battlefield has gutted animations with 2042 and Halo has removed them entirely. Meanwhile Call of Duty steals the concept and has been running with "take downs" as a fan favourite customization option; selling microtransactions of the silliest kill animations in recent history. How did it come to this? Halo has been a forerunner (pun intended) of the 1st person gaming genre since Halo: CE, now it's been gutted and every other franchise has profited from it's pioneering. Microsoft and 343i have been fumbling the ball for over a decade.
I would love for assassinations to come back. But if they are gonna come back in any game i hope they do it similar to halo 5 with req packs. That was always so fun playing wjth the boys and getting mystery perks and random things to unlock. But after seeing the vid and knowing its a massive technical undertaking granted with Microsoft and 343's war with Halo not helping much either, i would like prior notice first, then i can atleast play the next game knowing it might be the one after or next one they might include it. I hope the new 343 and certain affinity are on the right page with the next halo game, because im keen to see what they do next, bring back assassinations and playable elites FTW 🤙🔥
no assassinations in infinite was a MASSIVE dealbreaker for me and one of the reasons i don't play it much anymore, there is no point in having customizable armor if you can't see your spartan assassinating someone. Also no helmet view in at least the campaign, i liked seeing bits of the helmet on the hud because it was immersive. P.S i still think Halo 5 should be added to the MCC as someone who likes to have complete collections its killing me not having halo 5 in the MCC on PC
One thing that really bothered me with H5’s assassinations is you could only select ONE animation out of dozens you’d “earn” via MT’s. Being able to pick and choose your favorite one is nice but why can’t I pick more than one? I wanna throw some variety in that department.

I thought it was such a wasted opportunity, since you could equip knives, throwing knives, machetes, a kukri, Tantos, cyber sword, wrist blades, and a Katana and yet you couldn't assassinate people. How awesome would it have been to have different animations depending on what blade your spartan had? Heck maybe even having multiple equiped could allow multiple possible animations. Such a waste.
Cool yes, efficient no ...... I can't count how many times I had a double or triple kill going only to be stopped by a unwanted assisnation animation. Did I do them sometimes? Oh course I did, when possible it's awesome. Just not efficient. In Reach it was supposed to be where if you held the button it'll perform the animation but it you tapped, it was supposed to back smack. It just never works how it's intended. Also the animation are too long. If Halo had a battle royal I could see finishers something similar to Apex Legends. In Halo Infinite has a hard time registering back smacks as it is.
not only do i want assassinations back but also want something like glory kills from the new doom games.
Being vocal doesn’t do shit. We were vocal about split screen and playable elites with nothing to show for it
Didn’t they promise before launch that they would be adding them in later? Should we just add that to the list of promises 343 have made without knowing that they would be able to deliver on said promises?
One of the parts I most loved about halo they removed for no reason. WHY
In the state Infinite is in now, 343 has a lot more time to develop the next game with everything we want in it without rushing it out the door. Hell I’m willing to wait 5+ years for Halo 7 or an ODST sequel or whatever they decide to make to come out, that’s how good the state Infinite is currently in.
I generally don’t buy microtransactions in infinite. I would buy different assassinations if they were in the shop.
Yes, they need to return and they need the M rating back. Blood splatters with the assassinations would be a perfect combo
I remember back when I was like 13 grinding for that Venator armor I think it was called, so much fun
Yes bring back
Though makes sense why Infinite didn’t have it. 4 & 5 was built for multiplayer and pros
Infinite was built for Microsoft
Oi eu sou do Brasil gosto muito do seu canal e de Halo também 😁🇧🇷
Remember, one of the Infinite devs didn't like that the game had realistic guns. So this garbage is honestly not surprising. Its wild how low Halo can fall from grace.
Yes they should add it, matter of fact they should have had it to begin with and 343 did such a good job with H5s Gameplay,(the rest of the game SUCKED but the gameplay itself was very good) but then they disappointed us All AGAIN.
Come to think of it why have I heard people hating the gameplay when it was the only good part about the whole game, (besides the Spartan Ladies) H5s Gameplay actually made you feel like a spartan better than any of the other games combined, if they had a competent writing team and the devs were aloud to cook and if they used the ACTUAL HALO Art Style I would have gone bankrupt to get the game And the console.
Hell I'm still waiting for Modders to add the H5 gameplay into OG Halo games, damn that would be so fun.
Nah im cool without assassinations tbh
Ugh, Req packs and Infinite's store... hopefully Halo 7 doesn't monetize that shit, but you know they will big time.
343 have all the information they need, they just need to listen to us and actually DELIVER! Lol, nice vid Mint 🔥
Now I like assassinations, but I think 343 sidnt add them to Infinite to make a Halo 3 esq playstyle
I miss assassinations. And Ricochet. At least we have Ricochet in Halo Infinite now
That thumbnail is down bad
"343 removed this from halo and people aren't happy" Mint, do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down.
i think its funny the fact call of duty doesnt even think twice for their assassinations anymore😂😂😂😂
This is not going to happen guys. 343 and Microsoft actively hate the Halo fan base.
The crazy thing is that Assassinations are also VERY monetizable. So not it not only hurts the fans, but also hurts their bottom line. Just a lose lose to not have them.
I've said this a couple of times but they probably disbanded the animation team, assasinations need an animation team to exist
@@Spendingryan Makes sense. It's obvious by now that the game was rushed out the door and that there were tons of management and hiring issues (plus COVID restrictions). Maybe they'll be in the next game and I'm hoping that the lack of Bonnie Ross and changing of all the other execs means that we'll have good run going forward.
@@MillionaireHoyOriginal for sure
I refuse to come back till they add it back. I ground out venator armor when it released because I live doing that to people.
I think the reason that no one remembers for assassinations not being in infinite is the games age rating, because infinite isn't M like the other games and assassinations might be too much for infinite's current age rating
Yeeeess bring these back
They should really return to Halo ASAP
4:53 that was my shit on H5. I miss playing that game if I'm being honest.
Y’all just asking for more micro transactions 🤦🏻♂️
Back breaker and Lawn dart were my favourites in Halo 5
Bro is running out of topics, the second content drought truly is diabolical
Pretty sure he been talked about this too when the game dropped 😂
I thought they didn’t do assassinations in Halo Infinite because they wanted to keep that teen rating.
H5 had assassinations and it was a T rated game
I recognize the animation in the thumbnail.
🤤
Mint knows what makes a great thumbnail
Alot of halo fans will watch this and say Hell Yeah 🔥
This is why I am excited for whenever the indie game called "Murder Miners X" releases, as I want something new but has classic Halo mechanics.
Features Halo-like armor with full armor color customization, Halo-like gameplay with assassinations too. It will also have map making, which features tarrain formation like Far Cry games and block building like Minecraft. And it has wall running like Titanfall and ledge-clambering like newer Halos.
...soo it's nothing like Halo?
@@LoremIpsum1919 It has Halo's type of arena shooter and armor aesthetic but with some extra games mixed in with it. So about 50% Halo(general gameplay, armor, assassinations), 25% Minecraft(blocky structures and block building), 15% Far Cry(terrain manipulation), and 5% Titanfall(wall running).
I just wish Halo was doing better overall.
The actual question is why did 343 remove split screen from halo mcc on pc. Im probly late but I just built my pc.
Was that a recent thing?
@Cyborg647 idk bro I just tried doing it with my nephew on pc because I wanted to play modded halo and it didn't work
No one gets left behind. We all in ?
They should add halo 5 to pc. I doubt they will knowimg how 343/Microsoft is but modders potentially being able to add in custom assassinations would be DOPE! (and just mods for H5 overall)
Assassinations were one of the few new additions I actually liked in Reach, and they were a bit of a highlight in Halo 5, so I have no idea why they would get rid of the feature. Even if you want to argue that Infinite was 343 trying to go back to basics, and make a more classic Halo experience, I don't think classic fans are against the idea of assassinations in general, even if the classic games didn't have them. Really hope the next Halo game has assassinations, among other things like custom colors, playable Elites, etc.
100% need them back!
I’ll do you one better should 343 be allowed to make the next game
As long as they're toggleable so I can disable triggering them on my end sure :)
Personally can't stand them in Reach, they trigger when I don't want them to more often that I do
Halo 5 mistake was creating a path of monetization for infinite
Microsoft really believe thatt milking a game is good
Whoa, my comment made it in the video! Thank you so much for covering Assassinations. The mechanic means sooo much to me tbh
Your channel is becoming a 343 critique channel with expert level gameplay on the background. I get you’re trying to use this platform and the audience you’ve earned as a way to have a voice and to get our voices out there, but you should know by now that 343 doesn’t care about halo and confirmed as much after they told us they didn’t even like it YEARS ago. I miss when I would see an upload and it was a short clip of the most insane sandbox fuckery I’ve ever seen. Now when I scroll all I see is 343 please please please DOG…. They don’t care…. They’ve never cared. I will NEVER forgive Microsoft or 343 for what they did to my favorite piece of media to ever exist, My childhood, the very thing halo stood for, or the greedy, grubby, slimy monetization of the franchise. Halo used to be fun, pretty unique, and had an incredibly interactive sandbox. Now a days, it’s just another boring sweat fest of an arena shooter just like EVERYTHING is trying to be. Sorry for the tangent at the end, but yeah bro I would just do what makes you happy and stop pleading with those heretics.
Rumor 343 said it disrupt gameplay even though you were able to turn it off in the settings in halo5..
how about instead of asking and being vocal about assassinations, we just ask for a full complete game at launch. that would be neat
Ive been waiting for you to make this vid since halo came out
Mtx is here to stay, so 343 in next halo if you need to monetize here’s a suggestion.
1. No color monetisation that’s crappy(people don’t notice them anyway because of highlights)
2. Armours(immersion nerds will hate this) they should be wacky or creative. An armor set that makes your Spartan look like a Viking. Sell it for 10-20$ and I promise you’ll be successful.
3. Weapon skins, bullet tracers, weapon skin animations(valorant does this good by giving guns animations and sounds)
4. Assassination animations.
5. AI voices(lmao if they hired some professionals like snoop dog they’d make so much $$.
6. Armor effects. Etc
Halo: Reach and Battlefield 3 assassinations were so popular that Call of Duty adopted them. Both games came out in 2011 and couldn't have copied each other, so they both get the credit in my book.
Flash forward 13 years and Battlefield has gutted animations with 2042 and Halo has removed them entirely. Meanwhile Call of Duty steals the concept and has been running with "take downs" as a fan favourite customization option; selling microtransactions of the silliest kill animations in recent history.
How did it come to this? Halo has been a forerunner (pun intended) of the 1st person gaming genre since Halo: CE, now it's been gutted and every other franchise has profited from it's pioneering. Microsoft and 343i have been fumbling the ball for over a decade.
I would love for assassinations to come back. But if they are gonna come back in any game i hope they do it similar to halo 5 with req packs. That was always so fun playing wjth the boys and getting mystery perks and random things to unlock.
But after seeing the vid and knowing its a massive technical undertaking granted with Microsoft and 343's war with Halo not helping much either, i would like prior notice first, then i can atleast play the next game knowing it might be the one after or next one they might include it. I hope the new 343 and certain affinity are on the right page with the next halo game, because im keen to see what they do next, bring back assassinations and playable elites FTW 🤙🔥
no assassinations in infinite was a MASSIVE dealbreaker for me and one of the reasons i don't play it much anymore, there is no point in having customizable armor if you can't see your spartan assassinating someone.
Also no helmet view in at least the campaign, i liked seeing bits of the helmet on the hud because it was immersive.
P.S i still think Halo 5 should be added to the MCC as someone who likes to have complete collections its killing me not having halo 5 in the MCC on PC
One thing that really bothered me with H5’s assassinations is you could only select ONE animation out of dozens you’d “earn” via MT’s. Being able to pick and choose your favorite one is nice but why can’t I pick more than one? I wanna throw some variety in that department.
