Are you playing on easy? You need to be playing at least on normal difficulty.

It's not glitched, there's just a lot of variables taking place in the act that may prevent the achievement from unlocking. I attempted it about 20-30 times, getting about five or six actual assassinations in before I got it. A lot of times I landed on the Elite without killing him and without taking damage, in cases like that the game probably didn't consider it a "fall that would've been fatal", so had I nailed the assassination at that time it probably wouldn't have unlocked the achievement. It really is a case of having everything lining up perfectly.
Also, it helps to turn off the sprint once you're on your way down.
I checked last night and yes, the game was set to easy mode
I remember changing that on Tuesday night when I first played
and when I played ODST I remember the default was set to normal
on that, but I did get some kind of achievement award last night.
I have been playing a bit more aggressively then I usually do
and have smacked down several Brute's and Elites with no reward
Well I am to far into it now to change might as well finish then play it over
in normal difficulty......

IMO, it is glitched due to the way they calculate whether it is high enough for you to die from the fall.
EDIT: LOL, just got it like 1 minute after posting this. Still, it should not have taken that long to get.

Okay I'm about 4 hours into the campaign now. LOVE it. Challenging, but they give you lots of flexibility in how you achieve success on each level.

So I watched a bunch more videos and Shade has been walking me through it and I'm pretty excited to play it sunday provided we both have ways of getting to our friends house where he has the huge TV, if not, I'm keeping an eye on ebay to try and get one, but they all keep ending at $47 which I wont pay for any game no matter what it is.

Best Buy gives you a $20 gift card w/ purchase and I think Kmart gives you a $25 gift card w/ purchase. I think there might be something similar with Toys R Us. This week only though for all those deals.

Well I can't afford that, I thought I could but after checking how much money I will have left over because of buying a new Sax Mouthpiece, I will have about $25-$30.

It's going to take a while to drop to that price.

I know, but well see, I'll be playing it today anyway.
Edit:
I just finished playing it on heroic with shade a few minutes ago, I got to the level where you fly the space ships (Wasn't paying attention to the names much) and played with the forge, and I have to say: :thumbsup
Way to make a return from failure Bungie.
It was on par with Halo 2 except for the fact that you automatically have the skulls from halo 3 instead of having to find them, that annoyed me, but is a minor detail, over all, I have to say I think I'll be saving up to buy this or something.

matchmaking is fun with minor flaws.....you can boot people who betray you, but sometimes it is pure accident...they have the rocketfight....if some dumbwit steps in front of your shot...they can boot you from the game..happen twice to me already
Yeah, Bungie added that functionality with Halo 3. I found the functionality glitchy on Halo 3 matchmaking. It worked more often when someone accidently killed you, and infrequently when someone killed you on purpose. Hopefully, it works better on Reach multi-player.

Nope it doesnt...it is the same problem...well for what I have experienced....why give us weapons that has high chances of friendly fire....rockets and that satellite missile guidance system......kinda takes the fun out of using it...

Want your opinion
I made the mistake of playing Reach set on easy mode
therefor I was not getting any achievements with the exception of one.
Now I am at the part where I am with another Nobel team member
and fighting a wraith tank. and if I change game play to normal
I loose everything so should I finish on easy then switch to normal
or start over completely on the normal mode,, ?????
