==Description==
[[File:ReachMedal - Assassination.png|150px|thumb|The Assassination Medal in ''Halo: Reach''.]]
It is represented by a ninja face on a eight-pointed star. After the player kills an opponent by meleeing the opponent in the back, a message appears on your screen that states: ''"You assassinated (player's name)"''. The Assassin Medal is also a medal in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' campaign when [[Campaign Scoring]] is turned on and activated. There are some occurrences where direct frontal punches results in an assassination, while assassinations sometimes result in beatdowns due to the attacker meleeing to the side. An assassination can be gained by hitting the right shoulder whilst hitting the left will be a beatdown and not an insta-kill.

==Trivia==
*If a player assassinates three players on a [[Legendary Map Pack]] map, either {{Levelname|Avalanche}}, {{Levelname|Ghost Town}}, or {{Levelname|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 {{Levelname|Assembly}}, {{Levelname|Orbital}}, {{Levelname|Sandbox}}, {{Levelname|Citadel}}, {{Levelname|Heretic}}, or {{Levelname|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.
