The '''Assassin Medal''' also known as the '''Assassination Medal''' is awarded and achieved for performing an [[assassination]] on an opponent from behind. It is available in all multiplayer gametypes. In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', there are two medals that are awarded to the players for meleeing an opponent from behind, which are the '''Beat Down''' and '''Assassin''' medals.


==Description==
The Assassin medal is represented by a knife on a circle in front of a stylized X.  In ''Halo: Reach'' the circle is red; in ''Halo 4'' it is blue. After the player kills an opponent by performing an [[assassination]] on an opponent from behind, a message appears on-screen that states: "''You assassinated (player's name)''."
The Assassin medal is represented by a knife in front of a stylized X. After the player kills an opponent by performing an [[assassination]] on an opponent from behind, a message appears on-screen that states: "''You assassinated (player's name)''." In ''Halo: Reach'', the Beat Down medal is represented by a ninja on an eight-pointed star, previously called Assassin in ''Halo 3''. It can be acquired when [[Campaign Scoring]] is activated and also in multiplayer. There are some occurrences where direct frontal punches result in an assassination, while assassinations sometimes result in beatdowns due to the attacker meleeing to the side.
 
The requirements for the Assassin medal have been altered for ''Halo: Reach''. If the player melees an opponent from behind, the Beat Down medal is awarded. However, if the player assassinates an opponent through the third-person animation mode, they are awarded the Assassin medal instead of the regular Beat Down medal.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*If a player assassinates three players on a [[Legendary Map Pack]] map in [[Halo 3]](at either [[Avalanche]], [[Ghost Town]], or [[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 [[Assembly]], [[Orbital]], [[Sandbox]], [[Citadel]], [[Heretic]], or [[Longshore]]).
*Starting in ''Halo: Reach'' and in subsequent games, what was a "beat down" in ''Halo 3'' is now a "pummel." What was an assassination (or a melee in the back) is now a "beat down," and an "assassination" is now holding the melee button and going into third person for an intricate death.
