There is no ghost of lockout. It's either a mod or something to do with people joining, leaving, and joining in quick succession. Either way it doesn't matter because it's not an easter egg in the game.

The ghost is caused when there is extreme lag and then a person joins the game with a different Internet type then the host. The player will beccome the ghost but they won't know it. Everything will be normal on their screen.

For your own sake, watch the video again so you don't feel like a fool. Its a KOTH game, hence the large numbers, which represent time in the hill. I still believe some modders are interfering with they're game, not them.

Bungie has been known to put a lot of wierd stuff in their games, so I believed you at first. Then I looked at all the evidence, and I still believe you. the only thing is, the ghost player's emlem looks kinda like vTx raven. You should ask him if he's been moding. if not, then it's crazy! I think I am going to go on live and try this right now...

I seriously doubt that its possible to easily recreate what is seen in the video. We're not at all sure what triggered this to happen.

  • 04.05.2007 6:08 AM PDT

if you look towards the end of the video the supposed ghost kills that pink guy but when he presses the back button it shows the pink guy is not dead so i am very certain thdey are modding. another thing i noticed was have u ever noticed when you are getting modded hwen a modder moves his feet dont move it is the same with this fake ghost they are obvilously modding. NOOBS

There was NO MODDING.........I have stated this several times now......NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY!!!!!!!!

But keep posting your opinions anyway.......

Ive had this happen to me a few months ago on lockout. It is just a major lag spike when a player joins into the party.

I have heard that the ghost is the remnant code from when halo2 was in development. It is what remains of online bots. This was stated elsewhere, not by me I am only retelling it as I have been told. Very interesting...

The video was not Fake.....The host didnt Lag out.....The host was MAGNUM.........As I have stated.....We started it to see how much time would accumulate in the hill...Our 2 teammates left the party....I CLOSED IT....MAGNUM WAS THE HOST THE WHOLE TIME....And we fell asleep...He went to work but remained in the party....I woke up around NOON....Was goin to turn my box off...I got killed....I started to capture....................

AGAIN I STATE.....................The video was not Fake.....The host didnt Lag out.....The host was MAGNUM(THE WHOLE GAME)(BEFORE BLANKA & RAVEN LEFT).........I had party & i closed it as soon as BLANKA & RAVEN LEFT THE PARTY.......

Fan of real talk since 06.11.2008.

the 'ghosts' that appear are just people who join a game under extreme lag. Nothing special, just lag.

Thats definetly not true..........As you see in the video....FULL GREENBAR....And no one joined the party.....That obviously can not explain the ghosts.....

I kinda believe you 99% by the ghosts in Backwash. But at almost before the movie is over one of the ghosts is in the hill and you get in the hill and in the corner of your screen I see that it says you are contesting the hill.

Well, the remnant code thing also seems plausible. I can't really see how it could be a lag, if the ghost can chase players, throw grenades at them, and shoot them. Wouldn't traits like moving feet, armor color, and emblem have reappeared if the "ghost" player can still move so well? My theory is that some Bungie employee, maybe even secretly from the others, found the remnant code and programmed in a time factor, so that if you play for a certain time the ghost appears. Seem realistic?

If Master Chief was holding a banana in Halo 1, as long as the gameplay is good, I could care less.

Lol I'm sorry but that is total bullsh** and you know it. You would be pissed if the Master Chief used only fruit as weapons.

Accutally, thats a part of the glitch. Host doesn't recognise the 'ghost' player as in the game. The folks over at HIH cracked this case long ago. The short version is someone (i forget who is required) lags a lot right as someone joins the game. the host doesn't even register that someone joined, but they are there. thus, the game glitches quite a bit. The lag need not last, but if it happens at the right time, someone can basically enter without the host registering it, and though his status bars, party lists, ect wont show it, the guy is there and can interact, though the host sees some glitchy movement because of it (remember, the hosts box thinks nothing is supposed to even be there)

MYTH BUSTED.

I've joined a party when it was closed before. It's just network issues.

Also, the "Ghosts" gain time in the hill. They can kill. They show up on radar. I think that if you're not lying then it was a friend playing a trick on you and denying it.
