Assassination: Difference between revisions

The assassination is a new gameplay feature in [[Halo: Reach]] that allows player to enter a third-person view while beating a player down. Note that assassinations are different from beat downs. A beat down occurs when Player A melees Player B by simply tapping the melee button. An assassination occurs when Player A presses and holds the melee button when directly behind Player B, resulting in an elaborate kill and will earn the player a special medal. Assassinations performed in multiplayer matchmaking also count towards the [[Rear Admiral]] commendation.
