Subject: Why can't I get this achievement...?

I have been performing an assassination against an elite to survive a fall that would have been fatal and I am still not getting the achievement. I have posted a ten minute video on my file share of my friend and I attempting to achieve this and succeeding, but not receiving the achievement. Is there something wrong with my disc?

Same here, but I think this belongs in the Reach forum.

If you're not already, make sure you turn sprint off whilst in the air before you assasinate the Elite. It took me a few attempts but I got there in the end.

It took me a couple tries (less than 5) but I eventually got it. Try different levels of difficulty? I know I was on Legendary.

Something might be wrong with your disc or your hard drive is not functioning properly because the first time i did that achievement i got it with no problem at all. I am sorry that i can not really help you with your problem though.

Or maybe you need to try it on a different diffuculty or not on co-op mode that might help you out

I've been having a lot of problems with this one myself, but just got it today. What seemed to get it for me was to assassinate him without touching him, don't land on his back or his head, but just far enough away to get the assassination.
The assassination was where you put the knife in his back and then drag it across the body from left to right.
Hope that helps.

I got it my first try on Legendary so try turning up the difficulty.

the fall has to kill you, if you are using any armor add ones, turn them off right before you assassinate. I have a video on my profile. it took me like 20 mins.
