woot.

I heard that there are people that win ranked matches, then quit a social match to keep 0 exp. so it's easier to get a 50, maybe they should check that out.

can you snipe yourself by shooting at a wall?


Directly at a wall, or like a ricochet off the the wall at an angle?


either. maybe try directly first. If that works see if you can get it to bounce around and snipe yourself.

One does not simply walk into Halo.

can you kill someone with a gravity lift on the spot on high ground where the turret stands with them hitting the ceiling, When Halo first came out, I killed my friend like that when we played on high ground, I don't know if it was a glitch.

Through victory I find death, And death dies by me

If the bottom your weapon is stucked by a grenade, if you bash someone will it stick to them?

Can The Sword be stuck? (not sure if already answered)

We extensively tested this phenomenon, and it resulted in nothing.

No damage can be done to a Katana. Watch the videos.

If your on the back of a Mongoose, and use the Brute Shot to make you, and the person driving you in the mongoose, off an edge, does the Driver get a Betrayal Penalty?

Just adding this in. The powerup can be held but not used unless you pick up another equipment. It also I believe messes with the map configuration. One of my friends did it somehow on Avalanche and was confused on why he didn't go invisible. He found out why when he died. Then that powerup continued to spawn there.

Probably was patched. I do not know.

The Katana (Don't know if you mean that) cannot be stuck.

Thats odd, I've done it in custom games awhile ago, guess it was patched.

If you regular melee with the gravity hammer does it give a melee kill or a hammer kill?

Can you get sword sprees and/or slice and dices with a depleted energy sword?

Im in this group called Haunted Halo dedicated to finding out the cause and reson for the "ghosts" in halo. If you can bust that myth it would help us a lot. Theres proof of them on the groups forum if that would help.

I just tried the powerup-equipment swap in forge, it wasnt working like you said. But I got it to work again when I was not the connection host.

Can you melee a frag/plasma/spike/flame grenade away from you?
Can you melee a frag/plasma/spike/flame to explode?

Revisit Wraith Beatdown to get a Hammer Kill: Do you also get hammer kills for melee kills done by vehicle hijacking? (Hornet/Scorpion/Chopper/Ghost/Banshee/Warthog)

Subject: What myths would you like to see busted on Halo 3 Mythbusters?

"The land may melt, the seas may swell, the sky will fall... but They will come." - Malzahar

My brother told me that elites get the first melee I would like to see that tested out. Here are a few others:

-Can an elite lunge further with the sword when reticule is red
-While walking foward while firing with the flamethrower will shorten the flames distance to cause damage, and walking backwards make the flame last a tad longer to cause same amount of damage.
-Can u stick an Firebomb grenade(I dont care if they are not use in MM i just wanna see that)
-Is it possible to survive an assult bomb explosion while picking up an overshield.
-Can the Splazer shoot thru the elephant with or w/o a driver

I try to think of more...

- Sincerely Uber

Can two people get a kill from the grave on each other?

Edit: Also can you stick the energy part of the sword?

can a sniperbullet ricochet forever? youll have to make a room on forge that has walls all at the same angle of one another and shoot it so that the bullet will hit every wall under the same angle. in theory it should work.
i personly know that the halo 2 sniper bullet would lose damage after travling a long distance, im talkin outside the map long distance
