Subject: Overkill question

I have a bit of a question about the overkill acheivement. Last night I was playing swords on epitaph in lone wolves when I got a triple kill and then almost immeadetly another guy came and we both killed each other, but the kill was well within the timelimit. I was just wondering if the fact that I died during the kill may have something to do with it.

If it's anything like those times you beatdown a player front on and you both die, resulting in a assination for both of you, you wont get it.

Yeah, how do you both assasinate eachother? Youv'e gottabe behind them yeah, or atleast comin in on side. Its weird.

About your question tho, ive killed someone and then died at the same time on my next victim (I kno not an overkill but within time for a double) and i still got the double kill, even though i died exactly the same time.

the easiest place to get it is in a crazy king in the pit just dont go to the hill get the sniper and get on the turret you can also get killing frenzy and the sniper use it when you cant get someone with the turret this is how i got it yesterday

Sucks. I hate when that happend. I was player regular Slayer on Epitaph, too and I had the hammer. Got my tripple kill and hit a guy with a hammer and do you think he dies? NO, i manage to get his shield down and then someone kills him and me from behind. not cool.

I have a query about the achievment, is it 4 kills within 4 seconds or can it be kill 3 seconds kill 3 seconds kill 3 seconds kill.

Cause I have seen some videos and it looks like 6 seconds on the clock in the corner.

Or do you just have to have the medals still on the screen when you get the kill?

One kill every 1-4 seconds 4 times, the medals have to pop up to register.

lolwut

im sorry about that.

but if you get killed and kill the other person, its kind of like a tie game.
neither of you win or lose.
you did kill him, but died at the same time, tying it, meaning neither of you won (if you get my point)
and that means you didnt get to the 4th kill.

So it could be nearly 12 seconds between the skills, that is interesting to know, cheers

To assasinate eachother If your at the same spot but if hes over you or under you and hits the BACK of you with the sword or arm, u get the assasination. it happened to me in snowbound with assult rifle assasination even though he was in front of me I hit the back of his head.
