Were you looking for the Halo 2 (Windows Vista) achievement of the same name?

The Assassin medal (Assassination in Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians) is awarded for performing an assassination on an opponent from behind in Halo: Reach, Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer. It is also awarded in campaign and Firefight in Halo: Reach, and in Spartan Ops in Halo 4.

The Assassin medal is represented by a knife on a circle in front of a stylized X. In Halo: Reach the circle is red; in Halo 4 it is blue. After the player kills an opponent by performing an assassination on an opponent from behind, a message appears on-screen that states: "You assassinated (player's name)."

Trivia[edit]

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.
The Halo Reach achievement That's A Knife is awarded when a player gains this medal in Campaign, Firefight, or Matchmaking. The phrase is a reference to the film Crocodile Dundee.
Performing an Assassination on an Elite to survive a fall that would've been fatal in the Halo: Reach campaign unlocks the If They Came to Hear Me Beg achievement.
Performing an Assassination on a player that has just exited Armor Lock in a Halo: Reach multiplayer matchmaking game on a Defiant map unlocks the Paper Beats Rock achievement.
Assassinating a Promethean Knight in Halo 4 Spartan Ops will unlock the Knight in White Assassination achievement.

-The [[Assassin Medal]] is awarded and achieved for [[melee]]ing an opponent from behind. It is available in all [[Multiplayer]] gametypes and has a [[Bungie]] difficulty rating of 2 out of 10. It is represented by a ninja face on a shuriken star after you kill an opponent by meleeing the player 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 in the Meta Game. It is a very common occurence in multiplayer.
-The victim can sometimes avoid this by turning around before the attacker has a chance to get a hit in, as it will count as a normal beatdown, though there are rare occurrences where this will still result in an assassination, there are also occurrences where direct frontal punches result in assassination, while assasinations sometimes result in beatdowns due to the attacker meleeing to the side. An assasination can be gained by hitting the right shoulder whilst hitting the left will be a beatdown and not an insta-kill.
+The '''Assassin''' medal ('''Assassination''' in ''[[Halo 4]]'' and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'') is awarded for performing an [[assassination]] on an opponent from behind in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''Halo 4'' and ''Halo 5: Guardians'' [[multiplayer]]. It is also awarded in [[campaign]] and [[Firefight]] in ''Halo: Reach'', and in [[Spartan Ops]] in ''Halo 4''.
+The Assassin medal is represented by a knife on a circle in front of a stylized X.  In ''Halo: Reach'' the circle is red; in ''Halo 4'' it is blue. After the player kills an opponent by performing an [[assassination]] on an opponent from behind, a message appears on-screen that states: "''You assassinated (player's name)''."
 ==Trivia==
-*In addition, a popular fake variant of armor going around on Halo 3 is Assassin armor, which is, in fact, a glitched [[Rogue]] helmet with the top pulled down over the rest of the face.
+*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.
-*In [[Halo 3]], even an invulnerable player can be assassinated by a player that can do 0% damage.
+*The ''Halo Reach'' achievement [[That's a Knife|That's A Knife]] is awarded when a player gains this medal in [[Campaign]], [[Firefight]], or [[Matchmaking]]. The phrase is a reference to the film Crocodile Dundee.
-*It is possible for two players to assassinate ''each other.''
+*Performing an Assassination on an Elite to survive a fall that would've been fatal in the ''Halo: Reach'' campaign unlocks the [[If They Came to Hear Me Beg]] achievement.
-*A funny way to assassinate someone is to jump right before he/she tries to assassinate you. Once you jump, you melee and you will assassinate the would-be assassin. This can sometimes be difficult to perform.
+*Performing an Assassination on a player that has just exited [[Armor Lock]] in a ''Halo: Reach'' multiplayer matchmaking game on a [[Defiant Map Pack|Defiant map]] unlocks the [[Paper Beats Rock]] achievement.
