Unfortunately I can't get Fraps to work so I decided to post my new find in here. First of all, using HMT I changed the fall damage to zero so that you can go to the bottom of maps easily.

Anyway, right at the beginning of the level, jump off the ledge when the pelican drops you off. Once you get to the bottom, look around. There's three Grunts with plasma pistols sleeping in a triangle formation. Strange huh? And there will always be one normal grunt (the one with the round head and pointy back) and two of the other grunts (pointy head, curved back).

How can you edit campaign maps with HMT and still play them?

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Two things: First of all, Straight is male, curved is female; and Second, It has been done. I'm no exception.

Um... I didn't know you couldn't. Just edit them as you would normally. And somethings wrong when you get an exception.

I've always wondered: Why is it that female Grunts no longer appear in Halo 2 or 3?

I guess maybe the Covenant figured that in the long run, if the females keep getting killed, there would be no more Grunts at all. But then again, they'd need the males as well....

The swear filter is pretty stupid, especially when you're trying to write a legitimate word and it gets filtered out because it has three or four letters in a certain combination. Most of the kiddies around here swear like sailors already. Anyways, I thought Halo 3 had the different kinds of grunts in it. I'm not sure though, they all look the same after a swing from the Gravity Hammer.

My signature is all about grunt facts. Also, sounds cool.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

Back on the original topic, I saw a video of someone skipping most of the level by riding a Shade turret down off the bridge. Unfortunately when I tried it, the game killed me, apparently they fixed the code from xbox to PC.

Wow, at least they did something.

Uh no, it works for me. And you don't need the shade turret. If you time your jumps correctly, you'll hit the slopes against the canyon wall and take no damage, sliding all the way to the bottom, aiming for either a rock or a tree to cushion your fall. If you do it correctly, you won't even scratch your shield. And while you are only a little bit further than you would have been otherwise, you bypass a loading zone and there are no enemies until the very end of the level, allowing you to grab an unused shee and do quite a bit of exploring.

Thinking of something witty to write here since 2004...

Nah they're all male grunts in Halo 3.

I could never get falling off the bridge and against the canyon wall to work properly.

The first time I played through AotCR I accidentally did it somehow. I was backing away from the gold sword elite, and jumped back to dodge a grenade, only to land on a slope far below, while getting a checkpoint in midair...

lol you are lucky. if you hold "E" when the pelican drops you off, you'll get back on and fly most of the way down.
