Anyone here games slow down or chop up while your playing Halo, I.E, when you smack a Elite and all the blood comes out and the game plays wierd. Anyone get this? Or at any other parts of the game?

If you continuously melee an Elite or any other Covenant after you kill them and the ground/floor they are lying on is covered in their blood, the game does begin to slow down for some reason unknown to me. I think it may be because it is the same image or effect overlapped ontop of each other layer after layer which may cause the game to lag because their is too much blood or effect in one concentrated area.
I have also a few tricks pulled off using this "glitch" (or whatever you would like to call) in
co-operative play.

You think it could be a memory problem? Or if they will fix it come Halo 2?

Bungie has most likely taken a note of this slowdom/glitch since I would think that they probably ran into the same problem while they were playing Halo themselves.

Yeah, slows down and becomes 'choppy' if you make loadsa bodies of MC's (something I do with loadsa grenades around as an alternative to 'The Warthog Jump').

Noticed it about the meleeing of dead Covenant too. I called something like 'a decrease in the frame rate' (something to that effect).

the part in keyes where tonnes of flood come from the hole in the roof (when your actually in the ship) kill them all, no slow down, now... chuck a grenade in betweeen all of the bodies (do it in co-op, have 1 guy on each side of the hole with a shotgun, to concentrate the bodies) BOOOOMMM *framerate nearly kills game*

Anyway, I have had slowdowns in the game, but never on my system has it happened (except for the elite hitting thing, or that mentioned flood grenade thing)

I've only had it happen once. In AotCR after you get out of the big room with a broken and non-broken bridge, grab a ghost from the area just below the big hill that leads outside, where the Covenant dropship drops some troops and ghosts. Instead of killing every thing just drive past it all until you get to the cave with the cloaked Elite's with plasma swords. Kill them and park you ghost to block the path. wait a little while and pretty soon everything you passed will catch up and the game will start to slow. Note: works best on Legendary and is also fun if you want to test out how many enemies you can take at once.
