It seems relatively simple enough, and it is. However, there are some caveats: While the animation for the Finishing Move is running, your Operator is vulnerable from another attack that you might not be aware of. It is actually possible to fail a Finishing Move even if the animation has already started if your Operator is killed while it is in progress. The environment can mess up the Finishing move execution (i.e. a box just beyond your peripheral vision that prevents it from being completed due to the collision mechanics). You only have 1 or 2 seconds to execute a Finishing Move. If it gets interrupted, either by the target or someone else, it is likely the window of opportunity is missed. If you don't hold down the melee button at just the right interval, the Operator may just perform a slashing or swinging attack. Like with anything, this takes practice. The more you do a Finishing Move, the more comfortable you will be with the timing and spatial awareness needed to perform it successfully.

Tips to Execute Modern Warfare Finishing Moves Performing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Finishing Moves use the same command parameters, there are useful perks and situational awareness tips that can improve your chances. These can help you to consistently accomplish them: Remember that there is a distance required. If you are too far, it will not trigger a Finishing Move. An arm's length is the rough benchmark. Ghost Perk. Get it. It makes the Operator virtually invisible to most detection like Sensors, Drones, Snapshot grenades, and UAVs. This improves your ability to sneak behind the enemy. Grab Dead Silence. This Field Upgrade improves your Operator's move speed and completely silences your footsteps. Note, however, that this is only good for one kill. These can help enhance your ability to do Finishing Moves. But ultimately, it's your skill and experience with using them that makes the most difference. Practice makes perfect!
