Callin' in the Big Guns

In Majestic DLC matchmaking, called in 3 ordnance drops during the same game.

How to unlock the Callin' in the Big Guns achievement in Halo 4 - Definitive Guide

All that needs to be done is call in 3 ordnance drops in one game, not as easy as it sounds, but I know how it works, first off you can only earn ordnance in infinity slayer or the new majestic free for all mode no other game type and they need to be in the majestic dlc. By default an ordnance drop requires 70 points and after each one is called in the next one increases by 30%, you can make this easier on your self by equipping the ordnance priority which gives you 40% bonus to all points earned, although some work is still required as you do need alot of points, hope this helps break it down for you. If you give this a negative leave a comment so I know what I did wrong.

Also thanks to DragonFangDan for pointing out the team action sack gametype where you start the game with an ordnance already making this achievement much easier.

If you're having problems getting it in Team Majestic, go FFA Majestic.

Got it first try as soon as I switched over.

I didn't have any, are you actually collecting them and not just leaving them there for someone else to take?

I collected all of them. However, it's possible that there was a host change during the game, this could cause the counter to reset even though in my medals showed 3 at the end of the game. Just a theory.

I'll help u out Corruption. By far the easiest way to get this currently is to play on the Fiesta game type on a Majestic map in the Team Action Sack playlist. This works since u spawn with an ordnance ready to go and u get a new one every time u spawn or kill an enemy.

A valid point Scott as with all the dlc achievements I and most people I believe did them as soon as they were released, but I see what your saying, unfortunately I can't confirm if they can be done in just normal matchmaking on specific maps but that would be the best bet, I will look in to this further to help out or if anyone knows that would be helpful.

This is made easier with the new Action Sack Playlist.

Simply set up a game of Team Fiesta and this will pop after about a minute. You get ordnance drops very quickly in this game type. 20+ per game.

Yep. In Team Fiesta you get an ordinance drop after every death. I got this achievement without getting any kills. I started a match 0-3 when my achievement popped.

by "sep up a game" can you create one and do it that way or does it have to be matchmaking, just had a 7 kill streak used all my ordinance drops, pick all of em up and still didnt get the achievement

OK this may sound retarded but I've been playing for about 2hours and I've not seen this yet? Do you have to select majestic team dlc?

You need to play Team Fiesta and hope one of the Majestic maps come up. It came up first time for me. It will also have to take into account all players having the dlc

Thumbs up! Worked great but to add a bit -
When you join the Team Action Sack playlist and the voting screen comes up, look for a Majestic map with Fiesta mode. If it's not there then back out and try again. When it does come up vote for it and hope it wins. Every kill and death will get you a drop. Might be a good time to get the 3 jet pack kills to! Drop the damage boost whenever you get it and look for them flying, makes it easier IMO

@NOWay07 - As far as I know the only achievement in this pack you can do in a custom game is the 5 air assassinations.

This is also pretty easy on a Lightning Flag match. One shot one kill in this mode, so you can rack up points pretty easily. Also, a flag capture seems to automatically earn you an ordnance drop, so a flag capture or two will really speed you on your way to getting all three.

This Achievement is quite simple to get, if you know the tips and tricks. A good sniper, rocketeer, or machinegunner can rack up kills easily if they watch the maps flow and player positions. Simply calling in the ordinance is all that is required, you DO NOT have to use the weapon/equipment/armor ability to get the achievement. A quick method is to join a boosting session and round robbin this until the party has earned it.

Create a loadout with the weapons, grenade, AA and tactical package of your choice. When choosing the support upgrade choose Ordnance Priority (unlocked in SP-26) and jump into a game in the DLC playlist. Play the best you can! (Make kills/assits to get ordnances)

I recommend doing this in a team gametype. I did it in infinnity slayer but I think King of the Hill is way easier.

Similar to other comments add the Ordinance priority. Here's how I did it... add Promethian vison, add Expolsive radius and extra ammo to be more bad ass! Try to get more than 13 Kills in one match. Team match is much easier to do this achievement because of team work.

If you want to try this without ordinance priority, I recommend the same loadout but have 20 or more kills in a match, try for the first strike and get double and multikills. Maybe use the shotgun or the pink mist.

Easiest way to get this achievement is in the rumble pit. This is FFA matches, look for infinity rumble pit match. Then have each player take it in turns, to get 3 drops. Once unlocked deploy each one, you don't have to pick them up, you should have around 150 points after unlocking 3 drops. Any mistakes please let me know so I can amend this.

Team Fiesta is unfortunately at the time of writing not in the Team Action Sack playlist anymore. There is Fiesta Classic but that doesn't feature any ordinance drops.

However I have found an alternative and that is to wait for a 'Lightning Flag' game on a Majestic Map which did take a while for to pop up for us but when we did we all got the achievement in no time!
