Besides, I have never been killed by that glitch (Halo 1), ever. Why? Because the fucker who tried to do it was already out of shields and half health before he finally got into range to do it. He was then beat to death by my assault rifle butt.

In Halo 1, EVERYTHING had a counter if you kept your wits. In all the subsequent titles, you have set situations that you can't get out of even with creative thinking. Over-engineering. I think I've said this before.

Also, I love the assassination animations. Those have absolutely nothing to do with it.
