I know this has happened to a lot of you, I’ve been seeing this more frequently over the last couple days…
Okay, so I get the call that my ordnance is ready (all good) the selections are: pulse grenades, saw, and speed boost.
So I pick the saw and go to collect and my weapon seems to have been swapped with a set of FRAGS!!!, WHAT?!?!
This is just ONE example, I’ve had this happen many times. Hows 'bout you?
Happened to me yesterday. I called in a sniper or something, but the ordnance came in as a Speed Boost -_-
Ordnance contributes to the “random” element of the game. Game is fun but a bit too random for my taste.
When this happens to me I think at the time that it was my pressing the button wrong. But now you got me wondering…
My 2 worst ordinance issues.
1.) Last night I was on Abandon. I was on the middle level of the center structure. I called in a beam rifle and it spawned on the lower level below me where the entrance is I exit the building and go to go get my ordinance when I hear “Ordinance Stolen” And get sniped by my own beam rifle…
2.) SO many times (this is me being a noob) I wait to call in my ordinance till a more tactical time and then out of habit go to switch grenade types and call in whatever is on the right d-pad…
I’ve never had it give me the wrong thing though.
I will tell you what it did not give me, it did not give me a Pelican Gunner, and I must say, I am a man, I am a man with a dream to have a Pelican Gunner appear in my Ordinance drop. I also dream of a tactical Halo strike after 24 kills but baby steps right now
^^Number 2=grrrrrrrrr
Once I called in an Incineration…Overshield.
-_-
It happens to me after a Host migration, mostly. I once requested a SAW and got Binary on Ragnarok after a black screen. But I once requested a Beam rifle and I got a needler on the same map… If you wait a few seconds, the weapon pictures on your screen will change to the actual ones after the migration.

I made a thread similar to this. I’m glad that I am not the only one with “Repeated” drops. For me, i’m constantly getting Sticky Detonators, Needlers, and Pulse Grenades. Its really getting annoying, if you ask me.

I have the same issue when I play slayer. It makes it really hard to complete other weapon commendations, aside from the Needler, which I suck with…

You don’t like the old Sticky Det? Love that thing, so much fun to us. I myself prefer the Rail gun, but still love the Det

You know I rather have the Railgun drop than the Sticky Detonator. TBH, everytime i get the Sticky Det at the drop, i always whisper, “Where’s my Grenade Launcher, when i need one”.

I concur. Everytime I want the Railgun or any other Ord, i always end up with the same exact thing, lol.

It sounds like what you want are kill streaks, more like CoD… So go play that instead.
If there is EVER a “Pelican Gunner” type kill streak reward, or any other rewards that are similar to the CoD kill streaks in Halo (the ordnance drops are bad enough), then I am officially done with Halo.
On topic, I’ve only had my ordnance change during a host migration, like someone stated before. But it was while the ordnance was still waiting to be chosen, not after I called it in.
And I’ve also accidentally called in the wrong ordnance trying to switch grenades…Damn d-pad. They should switch grenade swapping to up/down on the d-pad. I think that could help with the issue a little bit (even though down is still an option for ordnance).
This happens to me too sometimes.
Another thing that happened to me once was that i saved my ordinance for later use in a better situation. Then, black screen and viola! the beam rifle (or something else really awesome weapon)was now changed in the ordinance menu to grenades, speed boost or some other stupid power up.
What’s worse is when you’re saving your damage boost, and you go to switch nades but end up calling in a needler on Valhalla.
The bad ordnance options forced me to use requisition.
Sometimes I get better options, or totally ruin them… In the worst cases the options do not change drastically (example: speed boost becomes overshield. Everything else stays the same).

You’ve got no idea, how much that drives me crazy. I expected Needler to appear on a Small/Mid Sized map and instead i get that on a BTB map. I do not understand why most of us don’t get snipers or rockets, but i know that would be unfair due to the number of complaints regarding campers.
My biggest issue has had nothing to do with the pickups themselves, but rather where they spawn. Especially on Abandon or Haven, I ask for an ordnance drop and yet it spawns somewhere underneath me. How inconvenient. I’ve also had ordnance drop into trees, spawn inside the walls of buildings or scenery. Talk about randomness…

Tell me about it… I once requested a Hammer on Complex just to see it spawn inside one of the windows in Complex… I could never get the option to pick it up.
Also, how about when you have to punch the pod to open it?

I have been playing halo 4 day in and day out since the release.
NEVER has this ever happend to me. Ever. I’m honestly assuming you have one of the most ghetto controllers of all time.
