I have been ninja’ing since Reach, and am trying to do so in Halo 5, but I can’t assassinate in the air without charging a ground pound. Is there any way to change this or get around that? Thanks in advance.
I have the same issue. But I see people airsassinating do I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
I had a guy jump backwards as I was jumping towards him and I just held B when it was perfectly lined up. Not really sure, you may not be lined up or close enough.
tap the button don’t hold onto it

But I don’t want a beatdown, I like the style points for assassinations.
Never pulled one off I actually forgot you could ground pound until earlier today actually I did it on accident also forgot you could slide
If you are at sprinting speed (where the reticule is replaced by the arrows on either side of your screen) you will use Spartan Charge automatically, even if in midair. Thats the only thing that should interfere with assassinations. Maybe you’re too far away? That happened to me a few times until I figured it out.

I’ve never had trouble with spartan charge as it usually goes away when you turn around, but thanks for the input, I appreciate it. I’m still getting used to the new controls and whatnot. It’s a bit clunky if you ask me.
It has got me killed before (jet noise caused my target to turn around and kill me with a shotgun) Usually I can get air assassinations by holding the button as soon as my attack connects
Your timing is off. You’re probably pressing it too soon.
Don’t ground pound (it sucks) and turn assassinations off
/thread
You need to be in just the right spot or yeah you trigger a ground pound. Im getting similar issues with spartan charge too, most of my assassinations were the product of sprinting and now i have to try and evade into melee which sucks and i keep messing it up. Which sucks because i love assassinations.
Assasination is like 0.5 seconds of holding down, while ground pound is like 1s.
You can go to custom games to try to figure out the actual timing.

This pretty much
