Subject: Funny Glitches

The biggest of these I remember is the Viewscreen Glitch in The Maw. Basically, if you wait until the cut-scene on the bridge is over, Sentinels rise up and shatter the viewscreen. However! If you skip the cut-scene, the viewscreen remains invincible and a great piece of cover!

You know, I always noticed that sometimes the viewscreen would be shattered, and sometimes it wouldn't.

I never once considered it could've been because of me skipping the cutscene.

Neato - can't believe I never made that correlation before.

Edit: I know this doesn't qualify as a glitch, per se, but... Some Elites on Assault on the Control Room would much rather seem to jump off a cliff than have a detonate near them ;]

Just message me on live.

In AoTCR some Grunts freeze if you go past them and activate the checkpoint.

Remember at the end of The Silent Cartographer when that Sangheili Zealot attempts to ambush you at the end of the mission, shortly after activating the Cartographer?

Well just a few days ago, I was playing up to that part and said Zealot was facing the wrong way and didn't jump me when I walked past him. In my head, I was thinking Isn't that Elite Zealot with the sword supposed to try and ambush me?

I walked back towards the alcove he jumps from and saw him facing away from the hall I was in, while yelling some inane Sangheili banter at no one in particular. I decided to poke him in the back with my melee attack and get out of there.

Maybe there were Marines there?

Again, there's the 343 GS Crazy Marine Room glitch. If you get a turret up to the door, you can use the turret to get past the broken door.

I wish you could fly the Banshee in Halo (the level). I went through it one day and inadvertently killed a Elite inside the Banshee without destroying the Banshee itself. Sadly, you're not allowed to fly it. But you can flip it if that counts for anything...

Can you believe it?

My favorite was when I was going to use the rocket launcher to take out the Zealot at the end of AotCR. Instead of firing a rocket it fired the assault rifle.

at the beginning of 343 Guilty Spark, throw grenades and you stay in the Pelican. Then it flys away wtih you in it and you crash into the hill on top of the structure you're supposed to go in, then when you jump down you see floating assault rifles firing at the covenant

That is already well-known. There is also a lone Marine standing around up there.


If you come back up the lift in the same level, if you go outside, you can find around a dozen Marine and Grunt bodies scattered around outside. There's Marines on the hill and by the Pelican, and Grunts in the trees and Spirit.

I always offer fair game and usually allow some "extermination" of my teammates. I think that anyone should be able to play Halo or any other game they please.

I was playing the level Keyes, and the part where you get the sniper rifle, I shot a carrier flood,who blew into another flood, who blew more different ways, and continued like that for awhile.

More like the Yoyo, I'd say.

I never knew that.

There is one that you may already know of on AotCR. You need to do it in co-op. I think it is the first bridge you get to, it's the one that has the pelican fly past then land below the bridge, they say something like "This is fire team Zulu requesting immediate assistance! Does anybody copy? Over."

What you have to do is have both people jump off the left side right next to the wall, there is a small ledge that you land on. Then you go to the middle, where the dip is directly below the bridge and have person 1 jump off, then you have to time it perfectly and have person 2 jump off so that person 1 will spawn on the edge of another ledge below. Then you have to run along the edge until there is a boulder that you can jump onto and survive. You end up right where fire team Zulu landed and there is no Covenant for the rest of the mission. You can get into Banshees and explore the rest of the level. You can even go to the bottom of that pit in the first massive room you enter when you go through the tunnels. it is pretty cool.

I also know of a good one on Silent Cartographer. This one also needs to be done on co-op. You can glitch through the door that the Covenant lock before you can get through with the Elite and Grunts around it.

1. Bring the warthog down.

2. Have person 1 crouch by the door directly in the middle.

3. Have person 2 VERY slowly drive into that person.

Result: Person 1 gets pushed through the door, the Elite Zealot does not have AI coding so he won't attack you.

Note: I used person 1 and 2 purely for organization reasons. It does not matter which player does it.

  • 01.29.2009 7:47 AM PDT

Wow, nice glitch, and nice Triple-Post.

  • 01.29.2009 11:46 AM PDT

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.

Not sure if its a glitch, but one time I died in the final cutscene on 343 Guilty Spark, Master Cheif kept twitching from being shot at then fell over and died. Then I was teleported to the next level safe and sound!

Yeah, I probably could have put it into one post, but I was really tired at the time. And the AotCR one is kind of a wall of text, so I hope it makes sense.

  • 02.02.2009 7:37 AM PDT

Yeah, it did make sense, dunt worry.

The 343 GS glitch hasn't happened to me, but I know it's possible. Same thing happens at the Grav Lift in Keyes.

It's not a glitch, but I know how to get on top of the Silent Cartographer. Must be done in co-op (again). The part after you fight the Hunters, then some Grunts, Jackals and an Elite, the place after all that where you fight like 6 or 7 Grunts before going down to deactivate the door where there are 3 overshields. (I hope that makes sense)

1. Have full grenades for both players.

2. Have person 1 beat down person 2 so that his grenades fall on the overshields.

3. Then have either person pick up an overshield, then have him stand on another overshield with grenades underneath
4. Have person 1 throw a grenade setting off a chain reaction. Try to launch your guy so that he will get on top (very difficult)

When the oversheid depletes the other one automatically gets picked up and saves your life from the chain reaction on grenades.

I also know how to get on top of Blood Gulch and Sidewinder, but you probably know how already, if you don't just tell me and I will explain.

  • 02.02.2009 8:47 PM PDT

Hmm, never heard of this before, though I'm not surprised.

If you play on any elevator level on co-op, you can trick your friend to go in it, but you not go with him. Then if you push the button like 50 times he''ll fall through floor. :D

  • 02.11.2009 4:03 PM PDT

Never done that one before. I should try it!

I know another way ;) At the end of Silent Cartographer, don't go in pelican go back up through the secret pass that leads to the security lock thing. Drive your warthog up there and kill all but 1 guy. There should be a dropship unloading. Get your friend to stand on top of warthog and jump on top of his head. Than jump onto the covie dropship. than have your friend kill the last guy and commit suicide. The dropship should takeoff. Than when it takes off you can jump onto the giant rocks/mountains and your out! ENJOY!!!!

Oh, that? That one is easy to do. I just have trouble getting a second person to play. XD
