75% chance no 24.9% chance hell no.1% chance maybe. I don't want to buy anything with Microsoft's name attached to it after this year's E3 if I can help it. Plus there's that whole thing with Halo games where you really only own the full game for the first month or so, then you've got to start paying extra or your going to get cut from playlists. There's still been no word of an acceptable solution to their melee system woes, in fact they actually added a lenghtyassassinaton animation, just pointless flash and show that detracts from the game's actual playability. Been there, played that, bored of it.

Agreed. They need to make it so you can access all playlists without downloading maps. Um what melee woes? The BXB will be gone(double melee) that was a glitch, and the melee itself is even less powerful than it ever was. If you have a shield(even 1% shield) it will kill the shield first. You'll still have to melee them again if you want to kill. Assassinations are from behind kills and that's more than fair game for an instant kill. I fail to see how it hurts the games playability. The melee system they had to implement in leiu of dedicated server support. The one where the game doesn't even attempt to discern who activated their melee first and instead awards you both with the hit, and sometimes the kill too. It's the dumbest thing ever, and it doesn't happen in any other FPS I can think of. Have you ever stabbed someone in COD while at the same time getting stabbed by the player you're stabbing andthen both of you dying? No, because a system that stupid isn't functional. Unlessit's a Halo game, I guess.Assassinations should be insta-kills, but in Reach they aren't. They lock you into an animation, removing your mobility and thus making you vunerable. If I got rewarded for taking someone downby somebody else coming up behind me while I was immobilized and then assassinating me, that would be the end of Halo: Reach for me. I can already see it happening, and it pisses me off, just the concept, the idea that the situation is such that this is even a possibility, it infuriates me. I am infuriated.
You don't HAVE to do the animation, you know that right?
They implimented it as an extra measure of ownage. It's like tea-bagging in previous Halo games, or the taunts you can do in Team Fortress 2. Purely optional. If you're doing the animation while surrounded by enemies that's your own fault if you get killed.
