I have gotten several beat downs on people while jetpacking on the anniversary maps and still no achievement. Any Help?

You are not the only one having trouble.

Does it also have to get you the firebird medal?

In that case you have to be in the act of ascension while beating off.down.

You need to be actively holding down the button. Meaning you can't jetpack then let go and as momentum pushes you up, then melee. You need to hold in the button as you press melee.

It needs to be done on an Anniversary Map. That means one of the 6 MM maps that came with Halo: CEA.

Also remember... beatdown doesn't mean what it used to. Beatdown means you melee them from behind but you do NOT enter the Assassination Animation. If you enter the animation, you're wrong and you won't get it. You need to do what WAS called an asassination in Halo 3.

You have to beat them down from behind without assasinating them while Jet packing.

Firebird + Beatdown medal at the same time.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

I kept trying to do it, and thought I'd succeeded, but the beat down registered only for the full assassination every time >_<.
I swear I'd tapped it like I was just going for the hit, too.
