Subject: How do I complete the "If They Came To Hear Me Beg" achie...

Today is a good day to be a Spartan

FYI...you CAN get the Achievement on Nightfall, Legendary, and jumping on the Elite below the one you assassinate.

There is no difficulty in being stealthy, and lining yourself just above him, and then jumping down to get one of the hardest Achievements in this game.

The PoA cliff isn't the only place to do the achievement, just the one most widely used.

I found 2 vids to get it on Nightfall. I haven't tried the 1st http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLUDu-7gVCI but have on the 2nd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivZQVxUjlOs and that doesn't work either. Which is better?

I want my elephant back.
Give it to me now!
(Please?)

Me.

lol

Personally what I did was, on my first PoA attempt, just jumped off the cliff for fun, and didn't realize it was a huge jump. Of course, the Elite had postitioned himself right under me, and I got the achievement.

If you can't seem to get the timing right: Get a friend and have him position himself on the edge. Once the friend sees the Elite walking towards the bottom right spot, make a run for it and jump at the end of the cliff. Turn off sprint halfway down, and it should give you enough momentum to land on top of him, or behind him.

If you can't seem to get the assassination: Just try, try again. Melee as soon as your reticle is red. If sprint is still on and you assassinate, it won't work. It is more preferable to land right behind him so you don't bounce off of him, but whatever works, works.

Immortality: A toy which people cry for, And on their knees apply for, Dispute, contend and lie for, And if allowed Would be right proud Eternally to die for.

@Devil Ownpag Yeah...Tried everything. In including this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLUDu-7gVCI and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xjt9D5IJC4&feature=relate d

No matter how I try, no matter what I do, no matter how many times I get the assassination it will not give me the achievement. The only other thing I can think is, do I have to be on LIVE to get it?

Don't do anything you wouldn't want to have to explain to paramedics. Trust me, I'm a pilot.

It just takes patience, OP. It could take one attempt, or it could take several. I don't think I got it until the sixth attempt. In any case, start on PoA. Check where exactly the Elite is, line up, and sprint off the cliff. As I (and many others) said, it may take a few attempts, but you can get it easily with some patience and practice.
