I understand that now that most people prefer the one hit assasination. I don't have a problem with that. I was just thinking of an idea that would make things more interesting. I'm not trying to say it has to be. But in self-defense there are ways to compensate for those so called flaws.
First just like when you pick-up a new weapon your primary weapon is dropped. This would occur in the weapon steal process.
Second, if you are weaponless Master Cheif could have a lunge melee attack, much like the sword, that could only be performed while weaponless that would allow him to steal back his weapon or one of another opponent.
There really are no flaws that couldn't be easily compensated for and allowing for interesting gameplay.
Ok, so picture this scenario:
I'm in a firefight. You come up behind me holding dual SMGs. You steal my weapon. Guess what, I had a half empty needler. Isn't that gonna make your day?
I think the other poster was right, a good reward for sneaking up behind someone is killing them with a satisfying, crunchy, blow to the back.
That's when you make a decision and think to yourself, "hmmm, would it be wise to steal that puny little needler he has or best to just unload my SMG's into the back of his head."
Requires thinking.
Picture this scenario:
An unwitting opponent runs by you without notice. You run up behind him and as you push the action button you animate similar to boarding a vehicle. He has an BR, in animation you reach to his side, bat down the battle rifle while grabing it with your right hand, your left arm comes back up from the bat and elbows him across the face, all this happens in a matter of a second. At this point his sheild his down and leaving you face to face you take one shot to the head and he goes down. NOW THAT'S AN ASSASINATION!
But you have to be careful because if his secondary weapon is a rocket launcher or something else dreadful he can pull his trigger before you get the head shot and blow you to bits, or if he doesn't have a weapon he can lunge forward take his weapon back leaving you with no shield and bust a head shot. NO THAT'S SKILL not a back wack attack.
