My little brother and I (aww, how sweet), were playing level 1, normal difficulty, co-op. We flew through the beggining of the level until keyes hands you the pistol. I ran through the doorway towards the grunts, and both the pistols suddenly have rounds. Then my little brother decides to kill Keyes, to see if it can be done. The other day I had killed Johnson jokingly, and I was surprised, because you can't do that in Halo 2. Anyway, if you shoot Keyes with the pistol, you hear Cortana say, "The master chief has gone rampant, security to the bridge" or something. Some marines come in that you can't kill. This makes for some really funny situations, like me and my little brother unloading on a marine for 3 clipos each of AR ammo and him saying, is that all you've got?
Anyway, the meat of the story: This feels like a minigame to me. Here is why: Somethimes you can kill both the pilots, sometimes only 1. Sometimes niether. Sometimes you can kill a crewmember sitting down on the bridge, sometimes not. And the little area under thepilots, with a ladder going back up. You can use that as a refuge. Also, when you kill keyes, a door opens up outside the bridge, but unfortunately there is only a short hallway and a red door there.

Has anyone else noticed this, and tried to kill the bridge crew in different orders? it is fun, and the fact that sometimes some of them die and sometimes they don't makes me feel like there is something there, but I might just be grasping at thin air.

I am responsible for dividing the Covenant. I shall end this war.

All right, here's a little problem with your story: The Marines can be killed.
I used the "3 Weapon Cheat". Load Your Pistol at at least 5 clips. Get Full Ammo for AR, anda plasma rifle/pistol at at least 85% ammo. Now take your plasma weapon, and shoot up to six bursts (little ones for plasma pistol) at the Captain. It isn't cortana, more like ECHO 419 that says "MC has gone rampant". Unload 7 clips at the Marines. Unload the last 4 clips at the second. Use the pistol to finish him off. Use the rest of it to kill the third. And spit out the plasma weapon on the fourth. THE END.

I couldn't kill them. What is the 3 weapon cheat? In single player on easy, I was able to kill all the bridge crew except one of the pilots. You have to kill keyes and the 4 walking around, then the two on the sides near the front of the bridge, then a pilot, then the two on the sides near the exit of the bridge, then the two on the sides in the middle, then the two in the middle. However, I couldn't kill the other pilot, leaving me distinctly unsatisfied.

Actually it is Cortana that says that.

Exact quote: "What the Hell are you doing?! 'Security to the Bridge: The Master Chief has gone rampant! Take him down boys.'" End quote.

How could Foehammer know that SPARTAN-117 killed Keyes when she's making her way to her Dropship with her crew, while under fire. Cortana would be right there to witness you kill Keyes along with the rest of the Bridge, Foehammer wouldn't. It makes sense. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, I just wanted to clear up that part of your story. We cool? Yes? No? Maybe? You don't know? 0_0 Que? Moi? Herni herni? Ballaballa bing bong? lol Sorry. I just had to do that-please don't hurt me.

Also, try luring some Elites into the Bridge. It's hilarious. Sad, but hilarious. To do that, wound some Elites until they charge you. Then have them follow you into the Bridge. They will start attcking the Captain and the other members of the crew. Cortana's response will be the same if Keyes is killed by the Elites, so you'll still have to fight the 'almost' indestructible Marines (Watch the Elites and Marines fight it out. Seeing all of them crammed together duking it out is a sight to be seen).

A tosser is the same as a wanker. To toss oneself off is to fondle the trouser weasel.

It actually does sound like foehammer. This one time I played it I heard cortana say something directly before it and it sounded significantly different. And I tried to lure elites to the bridge, it didn't work on easy or normal. I even gave them some motivation, they still just sat there. Even if there is no secret behind this, it's quite enjoyable.

That was most likely because you were hearing cortana through MC's helmet speakers, and not the whole PoA Speaker system.

Run as fast as possible to the cafeteria. The grunts won't be there. Take an assault rifle and another weapon. Run back to the captain. Run to the hallway. Grunts, appear, and so does Weapon III: your pistol.
