Subject: Weirdest thing to have happened to you?

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

One time I was playing the level "Keyes," I had gotten to the room where you get the chip from Keyes' head, and was about to kill everything inside when instead I decided I'd just sprint up to the pre-Gravmind form and wait for the Covenant and The Flood to kill eachother. So I sat around beside the thing for a while, then the cutscene started. In the cutscene, MC was doing his regular "walk towards something slowly," thing, but as he was walking, there were Elites shooting him in the back. I died during a cutscene.

Vive la canadienne!

there are a couple chances like that, only you can be the reason why you died.

like crushing yourself with a vehicle, or sticking yourself

Or shooting an Elite in the head with a Sniper Rifle while standing on its head.

One time when I was playing campaign a Marine was just running around in circles. He didn't stop, ever. I have no idea why.

Heh, yeah they sometimes do that.

What about when you hold X when getting of a Pelican, so you stay on.
Then the pelican flys off and crashes into the ground somewhere, killing you.

In 343 GS, if you save any of the Marines in the room with the Active Camoflouge, they remain in the room, running in circles.


The Pelican Glitch only works for certain levels, namely, AotCR and 343 GS

Bungie Pentathlon - who actually cares ?

On the Keyes resuce mission I managed to get all of my marines alive and well into the control centre of the ship. They stayed behind whilst i got Keyes out of his cell. I cam back into the room and they were all dead in a very neat circle!

Very odd!

Haha. That is odd. Usually there's a few off on the side or down below somewhere.


Once, I was able to get those 5 Marines to follow me through the entire level.

Ahh I remember doing that glitch with the AR and pistol. The neat thing about this pairing was that the pistol's recoil animation synced with the rate of fire on the AR. In short the pistol was like a UZI if you went full auto.

The strangest thing that has happened to me was on Damnation while I played over XBC. I was camping in the teleporter when the screen turned white when someone went through and instead of dying the lag must have somehow sent me on top of the map. I found myself perched on a platform sticking out near the top of the map with nowhere to go but down.

  • 12.08.2008 6:25 PM PDT

Well, that's certainly strange. I always just die when that happened.

The weirdest thing that has happened to me on halo was one time on the train stage, whatever it's called, on halo 2, I heard a ghost-like scream when my warthog and I got demolished by it. It creeped me out and I've never felt the same about the stage again lol.

Has anyone suffered a very bad "falling" related death...let me explain...in all 3 Halo games there are points where you can fall to your death, eg off a bridge or so forth, but I have managed to stumble accross places where the Chief literally falls 2 or 3 metres and dies....it is hilarious...

The latest one I have found is on Halo 3 Tsavo Highway, where you see the Covie cruiser appear overheard, if you get on the pipe and fall down towards a ledge, Chief falls for split second then dies after only falling 2 metres max!

Am sure there are Halo CE related versions.....I did see an Elite roll to get out of the way of a grenade and tumble to his death on AoTCR.....I watched him fall all the way down!

I used to love messing with the Halo cut scenes. It didn't work in Halo 2, and you are very limited in what you can do in Halo 3, but Halo 1 was a lot of fun. I spent more time than I'd like to admit trying to kill MC in a cut scene or trying to get vehicles in scenes. My favorites were getting a Warthog into the end scene on Assault on the Control Room (you have to blow it unto a bride like 200 feet up and drive it through a bunch of hallways) and getting a banshee to fly around in the control room on the last scene on Assault on the Control Room. Dropping a banshee on MC in the last cut scene on Two Betrayals is a lot of fun too. Man that was a great game.

How do you do that glitch anyhow?

  • 12.11.2008 5:02 PM PDT

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

i was playing coop on the assault on the control room. when you make your entrance into the final open area, on the suspended rock bridge there are two banshee's. i always steal the first one, and i clear the grounds before spawning my teammate on the bottom of the canyon.

anyway, after clearing our way up and getting ready to open the door i stayed in the banshee. after my friend hit the switch i started to jet right towards the door. as the cutscene triggered and you see MC walking down the catwalk towards the controls, the banshee (now empty) flew in and landed on him. not only did he die in the cutscene, everytime the camera panned to him while he and cortana were speaking, it would show the position that he died in, but standing. it looked like a cheap cardboard cutout, it was pretty funny.

the other weirdest thing that happened to me was when a grunt said "f___ you" and tossed a plasma grenade at me. that was a trip.

If I remember correctly it involved saving and quiting then switching controller ports.

Get the two weapons you want to use for this glitch (I recommend pistol and AR) and get to a checkpoint. I like to use Silent Cartographer for this because there is a checkpoint right at the natural arch that you can trigger everytime you pass underneath it.

Save and quit to the main menu then switch your controller to another port.

Resume your game, press Y to change to another gun then trigger another checkpoint.

Save and quit and place your controller back into the original port and resume the game.

If you did everything correctly the skin of the gun should be swapped with your other weapon. You should have a pistol firing AR rounds or an AR firing pistol rounds. I don't remember which gun you're supposed to start with to get the UZI pistol I described so just experiment with it. I have a Xbox 360 with wireless controllers so I don't have a clue how to switch ports without wires if you're going to attempt this on a 360.

When you leave the Marines behind, invisible elites with swords kill them. They stand no chance and never will. That's just the way the level goes.

Yeah I kinda figured that one out as there is one in the room when you return...if I remember semi-correctly....just thought it was weird first time of all and thought they died to save processing power seeing as you had marines in the holding cells later

I realize that. That is why it's called a glitch.

The AotCR Door glitch is fun.

A floating plasma grenade. (First flood level "on" the deactivated blue bridge.

First level with the control level: killed everyone on the bridge above it and in the next room (to get more grenades). Then I threw grenades at the tank, some at the elite's ghost on the left. (Looking away from the control room.) Then after that destoying the elite (who was thinking "How did that grenade get there?" and still mindlessly patroling around it), I killed the tank (which 3-4 plasma's didn't kill) with some pistol bullets. Eventually I amazingly and in awe I jumped on the central beam to the control tower and went down, finding a supply cache after killing an extremely smart elite/ghost waiting there for me. Awesome level!

And on the second Control Room level, a plasma pistol is rotating after I killed a jackal with some frag grenades...

KIlled some elites same level with plasma's... a plasma rifle is rotating in the "concrete" also.

Zenzo, for the elites with Swords, he meant in Truth and Reconciliation. There are no Warthogs.

In Silent Cartographer, you can only keep two Marines alive at the end, by driving them down to the door where you meet the Zealot. I've filled all three Warthogs and brought them there, but when I got back, 4 of the Marines were dead. And this is with the Zealot spawning and immediately coming after me.

Can you believe it?

An Elite with a sword killed me while I was in a banshee at the end of AotCR.

i need some sleep.....

i hate bees...

no rest for the weary...

just yesterday i was playing assault on the control room. You know those little platform type things that stick out of the walls in some of the center rooms that have grunts standing on top of them?(play the level for 5 minutes and you should remember), well there were two in front of me, one behind the other, each with a grunt on it. The grunt on the further one lit up a grenade and threw it at me. The grunt in front must have been triggered with its grenade AI or something cause it decided it needed to dive out of the way...and straight into the thrown plasma grenade saving me from being stuck... it was awesome to watch.
