Holy crap. You know how the Arbiter leaves with Guilty Spark when you are leaving the third tower on the Covenant? I rushed past all the remaining enemies with my Invincibility and hopped in the tank. I saw a red Elite coming out of a Phantom so I figured he might get in...then I seem someone coming towards my tank...not a Marine, though. It was the Arbiter. He actually hopped in to my tank turret.

I'm going to continue now and see if he ends up coming with me or he disappears...
Oh my God that's awesome! Yeah he should be with you all the way to the part where you enter the citadel, keep us posted and tell us if you'll see two Arbiters after the Scarab fight.


Sadly, around the point where the Hornets were about to land, I noticed he was no longer in the turret. I think he disappeared right before the music starts...I'm not sure. I'll check later.

Maybe it's Salsa that ruined it with his lag.

DARN YOU SALSA.
Yeah it was probably me : / At least my connection is good enough for matchmaking.

Well why'd you just bump it then?

Anyway, I'm interested in how Vincent managed to get Arby out of Tower 3. As far as I'm aware he despawns after the upper level loads and then is dropped off by a Phantom after the Scarab battle. I hope you saved that film, Vince, because I wouldn't mind a look at it sometime.

The Arbiter is there waiting for you when you go up the elevator and after you come back down.

To be honest, I'm not sure why exactly he came to the tank because he's supposed to go to the Phantom. Then again, the situation was exactly normal, either. I rushed through the Hornet battle and sneaked inside. Arbiter spawns outside the door leading inside the tower as you come out to it...well, once all the Flood in the immediate area outside the door are gone.

Oh yeah, I knew I was forgetting something lol. I haven't played The Covenant in a while, how could I forget Arby clearing out the Flood at the base of the tower? [facepalm]
Good point about the tank though, now that I recall correctly the Arbiter kills his way to the extraction point before boarding a Phantom which soons cloaks itself and despawns. Am I correct? In that case I can't really see what could cause a scripted AI to become unscripted and get in your tank. Did you notice any other NPCs taking Arbiter's place on the Phantom? If so there could have been a slight processing glitch/mixup or something similar which then fixed itself when you moved into the part of the mission which Arbiter isn't programmed into.
Of course a simpler explanation could simply be that you skipped a lot of the mission and affected his spawns somehow.
*shrugs shoulders* I guess it's just one of those Mythic WTF moments.

Reminds me of a glitch that happened to me in Halo: CE. On the last level, right after I grabbed a Warthog, I poulled out to where the covenant are fighting the flood. I heard a marine say "Alright, let's go!" and one of the elites jumped into the gunner and started shooting things.

Definitely one of the most ridiculous WTF moments I've ever had.

In two of my Covenant kamikaze attempts, the AA Wraith on the far side of Tower 3 (where the Scorpion's dropped after you leave) drove off the cliff during my approach after skipping the dogfight. I'm not 100% sure if the Phantom carrying the Arbiter always lands on that side, but I'd assume so, and it did during both of my concerned kamikaze runs. When I got inside the tower, the Arbiter joined me shortly thereafter and started attacking the Hunters (scared the crap out of me too). Your glitch may have happened because the far AA Wraith wasn't destroyed until just a little before you got to that area, so the Arbiter had just gotten off the Phantom when you hopped into the Scorpion.

On one of my covenant runs I walked into tower 3 guns blazing. I killed one of the hunters, which in turn pissed the other one off enough to charge at me. A lonely box was all that stood between me and him, and when he slapped the box out of the way, it immediately hit a wall, came back at him, and he splattered himself XD.

On my other run (These are all on mythic by the way) as soon as i entered the tower, one hunter went to hit a box out of the way and the box flew across the room and splattered his "brother". Lol, and I had not fired a single shot at any of the hunters. The box killed the hunter in one hit... on mythic!!!! This easily shows that the most effective weapon against mythic hunters is a crate. Lol.

Not only Hunters.

If you watch my and Dark's Sierra run, when I shoot at the plasma battery at the first Jackal encounter, the create did an insta-kill on a Brute.

Actually when I was doing my original runs I'd merely play for an hour after school each day. That got me through and I'm by no means a great player at this game. It's more about the determination and will to succeed than actual skill which builds up as you play. So, give it a try and maybe you'll surprise yourself.

So, if you don't mind me asking, where did you get help from when you decided to play SLASO settings? I'm just curious.
