Xbox and 343 Industries have confirmed Halo Infinite will be missing a fan-favorite feature when it launches later this year via the PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. However, the bad news does come with a sprinkle of good news, which is that it hasn’t been permanently axed, and will rather be added to the game sometime post-launch, or at least there’s a chance it will be.
More specifically, when you finally download and play Halo Infinite this holiday season, don’t expect to melee other players in the back and perform an Assassination, as they aren’t currently in the game due to gameplay reasons.
Word of the temporary cut comes the way of a senior mission designer on the game, Tom French, who reveals the feature has been cut because of the gameplay disadvantage associated with the move, noting that most players just turn them off.
“[Assassinations] are not in for launch….
