    You don't "stop" assassinating, you can only assassinate when a guy would have died from a normal melee attack. That's the only time it engages. The fact that these guys are shooting you means they had too much health to be taken down from the front.. It's not a power attack, it's purely a visual treat that has no impact on gameplay, other than possibly leaving you vulnerable.

    Edit: So wait from the shields to pop and then assassinate?

    You can only assassinate from behind. You cannot assassinate from the front, it doesn't work (from what I know!). There are 3 animations, one if you're both in midair, one if you're landing ontop of him, and one if you're both at ground level. You have to melee, make it connect, and hold down the melee button.

    But in a video you see a player get punched in the stomach - Of course it may have been removed, but I don't see why

    If you go look at the Bungie feedback forums its sad. People think Beta means free game. You should have to take an intelligence quiz to play the Beta.

    I thought they explained that as being the tail-end of an assassination: having hit them from behind, and spun the enemy around to finish with a gut-paunch.

    Re: The Upcoming: Halo Reach

    I could have sworn I did a couple of head-on assassinations in the 8-10 matches I've played. Times where I'm in a close-quarters fight and I wind up pulling an assassination unexpectedly. Maybe I just got lucky, but it seems unlikely that a guy I'm trading bullets with would turn his back on me. Oh well, it's really not worth all this consternation.

    Re: The Upcoming: Halo Reach

    Played a couple rounds yesterday with a friend. Was pretty awesome. It still feels like Halo, but it does feel fresh with the abilities. Expected a bit more, but it's still beta so it could be that much better at full release. Was pretty funny; had my friend baiting people into a room with an over-hanging area, I'd then drop down behind and assassinate them. Lulz ensued between us.
