Subject: Do assassinations not count towards blades of fury?

So, I recently bought ODST and with it I got the Mythic 2 maps, and figured that with reach coming out I would finish off my halo 3 achievements.

For some reason the Blades of Fury achievement is really becoming a pain... whenever I try to rush headfirst into people with the sword on heretic, I get stuck thanks to everybody spawning with sticky grenades.

Now a few days ago I played a game where I had six sword kills, all of which were assassinations, and not a single death in the game. I would think I would get the achievement finally but no, the game seems to disagree with me.

Link to game for those who want it.

So do assassinations with the sword not count? or does this achievement just hate me?

You have to get a sword spree, 5 kills in a row with a sword without dying, not just 5 sword kills.

I know, I got all six sword kills in a row without dieing, in fact I didn't die the entire game.

I don't know what to tell you, then. Either you had a grenade kill or something in between sword kills or the game messed up.

Alright, I'm guessing the game messed up, because I know I got all the sword kills in a row. Thanks for your help. Guess I'll just keep trying then.

If there's a host change then your spree restarts, so maybe that explains it?

The Spartan 1 Project, the biggest, best and most active group on Bnet.

Assassinating people with the sword shouldn't have made a difference.

It does have to be 5 sword kills in a row though,

sword kill+sword kill+sword kill+sword kill+sword kill = killing spree and sword spree (per pling)

sword kill+sword kill+sword kill+sword kill+[any other type of kill]+sword kill = killing spree and no per pling.

Same thing works for sniper sprees, shotgun sprees and the associated 10 kills with the weapons (sharpshooter, open season etc)

Hope that helps.
