If you're asking would it prevent the instakill beatdown from behind, no. It simply prevents the animated assassination.

That bug from Halo 3 was fixed in Reach

Take one for the team medal.
Sticky detonate a teammate and have him rush into enemies or stick an opponent and let him find his buddies for massive damage.
This is what I love about this game. Even when I'm not playing I'm constantly trying to play with the mechanics in my head. I can't pin point why it happens, but the game really encourages you to explore.
Also, you guys need to experience the fuel rod. When a projectile goes past you it sounds like a giant bug zapper. Definitely my favorite sound in the game so far.

What the hell are we talking about now?
The topic was about a wanted toggle that prevents you from accidentally going into an animated assassination.
Oh, ok, then 343 should make a separate option called "immune to beat-downs" then, the assassination-specific one should sate these people's appetites.

How can you answer yes when there is no toggle? (or is there one in custom?)

I was watching that Walkthrough Cyren posted earlier in the day, and the videos clearly show that you don't get knocked out of the scope when shot.
This, of course, leads me asking one question: What steps has 343 taken to ensure that the DMR with its 3x scope – and more significant, the sniper – don't blanket the map with bullets? If you're not getting knocked out of the scope when shot, that's one less reason to close ranks with your target. Has there anything been added into the game that pushes players closer to each other in lieu of this?
Edit: I also see Cyren posted the Campaign/multiplayer panel. I'll give that a look tomorrow, most definitely.

Which reminds me of the great bug from the Reach beta, where you could perform the assassination animation on your own teammates.
Reach has one in customs. Halo 3 had the option too but it was bugged and did not work.

Old build, there is "scope health" now.
Ok, but that's just for backsmacking right?
We are talking about animated assassinations, that's all people want a toggle for.

I think we're talking about different things. Over, Shogun and I want the ability to personally never perform the assassination animation while Fyre and zoojoo are talking about the ability to remove assassinations from everyone in a custom game.

Yeah, exactly. I knew somewhere this went sideways.
Yeah I think this is what is going on. An option would be pretty nice. Section 8: Prejudice has a toggle for it (they call the extended melee kill "fatalities" in that one..)
Oh, fuck, i understand now. In that case, i'm guessing that you will just have to tap melee and hope for the best. :/

Junior, we got an assignment for you.
Switch to a PolyPhasic Sleep Schedule like the uberman:
and report back to us with your finding's if you haven't died of exhaustion in the process.
We'll have our own little version off a "developer crunch-off"
Be sure to listen to lots of Skrillex when you feel sleepy.

It's not that hard to understand: in reach, a tap of the melee button will do an instant-kill assassination while holding it performs the animated assassination. What we want for halo 4 is a player option (in the same menus as controls, player tag, sensitivity) do personally disable the ability to perform animated assassinations so that an accidental one is literally no longer possible.Accidental Sincere Troll:
sorry guys

this article is old, and not sure if already posted but it's too funny to ignore
Did Halo 4 rip off the Dark Knight Rises?

Monster, I'll ask again but when do we have to have our second round games played by?

He's at work at the moment, but I'd guess at the same time as last round since it seems no one's done their game yet.

Hopefully it means time remaining to next episode, as I believe there was a comment of anyone being able to jump on Spartan Ops from the beginning.Question Regarding Spartan Ops:
It say 14 hours remaining in upper right hand corner, what does that mean exactly?
Can you still replay missions from Episode 1, weeks later?
What happens if you are away for a week and you missed the episode?
