has anyone had this happen:
move into assassinate and not be able to enter anim, or enter anim and have it somehow cancelled out without the assassin or assassins target being taken out?
reasons?
Yes; poor programming.
Yes i have had it happen once and only once started to assassinate a guy then all of a sudden my guy just stopped can’t remember though if this was in MM or a custom though.
It’s a glitch.
It’s never happened where I would be assassinating someone, and then it randomly stops for me
But I HAVE had it happen the other way around, where someone was assassinating me, and it stopped
…and I ended up behind him and got a Beat Down.
I bet he wasn’t happy…
happened SEVERAL times.
effing sucks man
sucks it happens at all, but glad i’m not the only one. for a while there i thought i was just losing my marbles.
This is a good catch for an issue I’ve yet to see mentioned. It sucks not getting the reward of animation or full animation during assassinations. It makes the assassination seem quick and cowardly instead of sick and ninja. I feel like a jerk just stabbing someone real fast then standing back up without doing something cool too.
This happens to me a lot. Start assassination then it stops or it just becomes a beat down. It’s been happening since launch. I’m glad that it isn’t just my imagination.
i’ve had it happen a ton, and i’ve been nailing the forums like crazy the last 2 weeks. i’m surprised it isnt mentioned. it definitely throws me off my game. that and they look sweet, i don’t even mind BEING assassinated cuz it looks cool as -Yoink-. like, i got run through from behind by a sword, AWESOME! sucks being denied something you should have achieved.
Yeah they are pretty damn cool too watch i think the retribution assassinations should be extra special though lol 
happened to me but i was getting assassinated and it cancelled itself
This glitch only happens when the player your animating has has collided with some geometry that isn’t allowed so it resets the player to the closest spot available thus cancelling assassination.
Sometimes when they collide into a ramp they commit suicide so you don’t get the kill regardless.
It’s similar to Reach except it doesn’t insta-kill.
