I didn't know about this and I haven't seen it here before, so please don't flame me just because you knew about it. Forums are generally for asking questions and discussing things.

Anyway, I was playing the second level, Halo, just for fun again and I decided to see what would happen if I skip the part where you save the first batch of marines and afterwards you get a warthog. So I walked (I didn't have the warthog, since you get that AFTER saving the marines) down to the "man-made" tunnel and continued inside. Then came the gap in tunnel where you have to jump over with the warthog. I guess this was supposed to prevent you from what I was doing. However, I grenade-jumped the gap and continued on. I ended up at the first of three squads of marines. Even though my objective was still to save the original marines, Foehammer still picked these ones up after I killed all the Covenant. After that, it for some reason dropped off a warthog, and I saved the other two batches of marines. Then it told me to get in the dropship. So I could have finished the level without doing anything about the first bunch of marines. Just for the heck of it I went back to the very first part, to see what had happened there, expecting a mass of Covenant. Only that halfway through the tunnel, the screen went blue, and I could hear myself getting in a dropship and lifting off. Cortana was even talking to Foehammer. Anyone else had this?

The game automaticly puts you in the Pelican. I tried standing on top of the pelican so MC would be on it as the game conitnued. There is a time limit between the pelican getting to you and it taking off.....you must meet it or it forces you to.

I sorta did wat you did but i went back, after i reached the tunnel, for the wort hog. The covenent bring in the same number of ships so basicly unless your really good or no the spots you can go that the covenant won't your cooked cause the marines are dead.

The light bridge would have turned off.

Did you blow yourself back over?
