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

A myth suggestion:

Can you "pick up" sticky grenades (plasmas aswell as spikes) when they are already settled?

Example:

You throw a plasma grenade on an object where it does not stick, then someone picks it up by moving their barrel through it or walking over it.

I've got one... On The Pit, there is a trick I picked up from watching another player - you grab a sniper rifle (preferably both) and a Brute Shot, head to the areas to either side where there is a second floor accessible only by spawning (usually). You stand beneath the window next to the ramp at the back, look straight down, jump-fire with the Brute Shot, and then fire again, and you can make it up to that spawn point to snipe away.

The thing is, I've never EVER been able to do this same trick playing Lone Wolves. Is this trick doable in Social Slayer but not Lone Wolves, or is it just me?

And another one... Is it possible to maneuver such that you can splatter someone you just skyjacked as they fall to the ground?

And... Does jumping as you take a long lift make you physically fly faster up the lift? (i.e. do lifts give you a specific increase in speed, or just accelerate you to speed x?) (I'm realising this is perhaps poorly worded, so I'll explain a little more: The way I see it, either a lift will give you a boost to your current vertical movement, or else it will just accelerate you to a specific vertical speed. If it's the latter, then whether you jump or walk into a lift you have the same speed coming out of a long enough lift. If it's the former, then someone who jumps up a lift will move faster vertically at the end of a lift than someone who walked in.)

Also... Does a Missile Pod make you walk slower than a Turret, or is it the same speed? Always seems to me that a Missile Pod makes you walk slower.

Lastly: if you're interested in some extras for your show, I'd love to work with you guys! You can have your own Mythbuster Interns. ;-) You can get hold of me at: NobleEntropy708

Thanks!

It's doable in all playlists. Unless you're playing the Pit Stop variant.
It takes 2-3 shots BTW.

I liked this series. Good work! I already knew about some things, like the Anti-Air Wraith thing, the crouch-walking over trip mines, and some other stuff. What I want to know is, does the explosion that occurs at the end of a power drain kill you if you have no health? Another thing is, is the Mongoose faster than the Warthog? Or vice versa?

OK,the number one person in the world with the Plasma Pistol has around 1000 kills,are the real? did he boost?
And if they are fake, that creates an opening for me to make A chance for top spot.

  • 10.11.2008 9:18 AM PDT

can you ninja someone out of a ghost (jump and melee them i such a way that it assassinates them) (i know you can because ive done it but it;d just look really cool)

I'm not sure how we would be able to test that.. : /

Can you splatter somebody who is in a mongoose?

Can you get a double kill with 1 cone?

Can you splatter somebody on epitaph by shooting the top rocket respawn so it starts spinning and they hit it?

Can you shoot yourself with your own Missle pod

Which helmet reflects the most light? (You could do color schemes like juicy and colorblined and see what one is easier to see)

Can you get 27 kills in team doubles in a slayer match?

Does the carbine "out shoot" the BR from long range? Close range?

Can you get a from the grave snipe/stick? (Maybe reflecting the bullet numerous times?)

Can you kill your self TWICE with the same sniper bullet? (form a giant octagon map that reflects bullets and go on instant respawn mod)

Can you get a splatter in team swat?

If you are driving a warthog and somebody sticks somebody and gets in the warthog before that person explodes do you get a wheelman?

Can two people assassinate each other in a local game? (In MM there is lag so you have to rule it out)

Maybe I will post some more later... This is just me contributing to a great series.
Sorry if you don't like any of them.

Can you steal party leader from someone by joining another party RIGHT as the party leader of the party you were in makes you party leader.

Thus I refute thee

Crouching at just the right time can save you from getting splattered by a ghost. I'm curious because I did it once but I don't know if it was lag or what.

Can you survive a wraith shot buy jumping through it (into it) before it hits the ground?

My name's not actually Max. I got stuck with my brother's username somehow, so he made a different name and stuck to The Flood.

-can you stick an oncoming rocket?
-(i've tried this) if you stick the monitor(forge) and they change to player mode, will they die? And vise versa.
-can you stick a rocket?
-(tried this too.) if you run into a mongoose with a person on it with a warthog, will you get a splatter?
-does a vehicle flip differently with more people in it?
is there a weak spot on the mongoose?
-can you be seen with an overshield over your invisibility?
-is it possible to jump out of your flying vehicle and get a splatter by your vehicle squishing them?

1 thing iv been wondering for so long does a turrent on ground shoot slower than on a tank?
Does the tank mg shoot faster than the warthogs?
does a plasma turrent shoot slower than a mg turrent (on the ground)?

also if you stick a item n somone picks it up will it kill them?
if your falling to your death n somone sticks you who gets the kill?
is it possible to get a double assasination with 1 mele if they r standing side by side?
