Description

File:ReachMedal - Assassination.png

The Assassination Medal in Halo: Reach.

It is represented by a ninja face on a eight-pointed star. After the player kills an opponent by meleeing the opponent in the back, a message appears on your screen that states: "You assassinated (player's name)". The Assassin Medal is also a medal in the Halo 3 campaign when Campaign Scoring is turned on and activated. There are some occurrences where direct frontal punches results in an assassination, while assassinations sometimes result in beatdowns due to the attacker meleeing to the side. An assassination can be gained by hitting the right shoulder whilst hitting the left will be a beatdown and not an insta-kill.

Trivia

If a player assassinates three players on a Legendary Map Pack map, either Template:Levelname, Template:Levelname, or Template:Levelname, the achievement "Came...From...Behind" will be unlocked for 50 Gamerscore. Similarly the achievement can be earned on a Mythic Map Pack map, either Template:Levelname, Template:Levelname, Template:Levelname, Template:Levelname, Template:Levelname, or Template:Levelname.

-The victim can sometimes avoid this by turning around before the attacker has a chance to get a hit in, as it will count as a normal beatdown, though there are rare occurrences where this will still result in an assassination. There are also occurrences where direct frontal punches results in an assassination, while assassinations sometimes result in beatdowns due to the attacker meleeing to the side. An assassination can be gained by hitting the right shoulder whilst hitting the left will be a beatdown and not an insta-kill.

-*In [[Halo 3]], even an [[Invincibility|invulnerable]] player can be assassinated.
+*If a player assassinates three players on a [[Legendary Map Pack]] map, either {{Levelname|Avalanche}}, {{Levelname|Ghost Town}}, or {{Levelname|Blackout}}, the achievement ''"[[Came...From...Behind]]"'' will be unlocked for 50 Gamerscore. Similarly the achievement can be earned on a [[Mythic Map Pack]] map, either {{Levelname|Assembly}}, {{Levelname|Orbital}}, {{Levelname|Sandbox}}, {{Levelname|Citadel}}, {{Levelname|Heretic}}, or {{Levelname|Longshore}}.
-*It is possible for two players to assassinate each other. This happens mostly when one player jumps over the other, the other one below looks up and melees whilst the one flying over looks down and melees. If timed well, they will assassinate each other.
-*One way to assassinate someone is to jump right before they try to assassinate you. Once you jump, melee and you will assassinate them. This is sometimes difficult to perform, but your radar can be a useful tool when attempting this.
-*If you hit the right shoulder of a player it will count as an assassination, but if you hit the left it will act as a regular hit.
