*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}}.

*It is possible for two players to assassinate each other simultaneously, such as if they both fly out of gravity-ramps at each other on maps such as Avalanche and melee each other - this is probably due to the glitch mentioned above of meleeing the right shoulder counting as assassination and is, unfortunately, currently unsourceable.

Description

File:ReachMedal - Assassination.png
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.
