    Kill streak order issue?

    Just putting this out there to see if I'm the only one who's had this happen. With the recent orders, I tried the Skirmish one where it asks you to reach a kill streak of 8 in PVP without dying. Well, I did that. I even got to 10! Imagine my confusion when I wasn't awarded the order bonus when the match ended. It's as if I never got a kill at all. Now maybe I'm just doing it wrong but I'm pretty sure I got it right. I made certain that I didn't misread it. Has anyone else had this happen??

    Did you get 10 kills or 10 take-downs, there is a very big difference?

    You have to land the last blow 8 times in a row. Quite hard to do, especially vs Players.

    Well, from the wording of the orders... they tend to specify executions and takedowns. Naturally, I associated takedowns and kill streak to be same since while you're racking up the takedowns, you are tagged with ranks like heroic, godlike, unstoppable, etc.

    Yeah, it is confusing a little, you need to actually get the killing blow for it to count for the contract.

    I can understand that. But how is one to know for certain that their blow was in fact the killing one? I assumed it let you know by the "+5" number that pops up on the right side of the screen.

    You can't really tell unless you count or just kill steal to ensure you get them.

    Guess I'll have to keep hammering away at it then. Thanks.

    This order is so trolly.

    The AI one I got when I went 18-0.
    Now I can't tell you which of the 18 counted, but I was hopeful that at least 8 would have been last hits, and sure enough it completed at the end of the match
    VS Players, I am never even going to equip that one.
