The '''Assassination''' is a gameplay feature that allows player to enter a third-person view while elaborately taking an enemy player down with a close combat weapon usually a [[Combat knife|Combat Knife]], [[Energy dagger]], [[Energy Sword~~]], [[Gravity Hammer~~]], Ball/Bomb or their hands, knees, legs and feet. Note that assassinations are different from beat downs and pummels. Pummels are kills from a normal melee attack; a beat down occurs when Player A melees Player B by simply tapping the melee button while behind them, resulting in an instant kill. 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 have been featured in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', and ''[[Halo Online]]''. Assassinations performed in ''Halo: Reach'' [[multiplayer]] matchmaking also count towards the [[List_of_Halo:_Reach_Commendations#Rear_Admiral|Rear Admiral]] commendation; those performed in ''Halo 4'' matchmaking and [[Spartan Ops]] advance the [[List of Halo 4 Commendations#Assassin|Assassin]] and [[List of Halo 4 Commendations#Backstab|Backstab]] commendations respectively.
