Assassination without animation

When you turn the assassinations off, and you hit someone in the back of the head for a one hit kill the old school way, it is still an assassination. I just realized that if you turn off the assassinations you do not get to work on that commendation. this is pretty ridiculous, its also ridiculous i didn’t really notice i was never getting a medal. basically its just a melee kill unless you use the useless animations. i for one do not want to get killed while breaking someone neck, and don’t want my kill stolen while I’m doing it. does anyone agree with me that it should still be an assassination when the animations are turned off? i mean come on, id be done with my assassination commendation by now otherwise…

Does it count towards the CQC Commendation?

That’s what makes getting the assassination commendation such a challenge! Getting the Spartan Charge was so easy simply because it’s a half-second animation that’s an instant kill. If you manage to get that many, full animation assassinations to earn the commendation, it’s commendable. It’s supposed to be tough.
