Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

ok me and my brother and my friend encountered the ghost of ivory tower while messing around we spotted a white elite (i am a elite but i`m yellow) and my friends were spartans + the elite had no name and nobody had joined also the ghost was invincible so nothing damaged it and it killed us alot + it kept dissapearing and reappearing 0_0

Sounds like the Elite Doppleganger glitch, but I thought the doppleganger tends to look identical to the elite player who glitched for it.

Hmm, I heard a similar story, except that the evil, invincible ghost came in the form of a spartan, and it was on the map, Backwash.

All it took was a stew of whoopass.

Backwash...*Shudders*

Anyway, I've only heard of the "famous" "Ghost" of Lockout and the two "ghosts" of Turf.I'm not paying attention to "ghosts on Halo 2.Only Halo 3.Maybe the "ghost" of Ivory Tower is haunting you.

The doppleganger glitch, which I read on wikipedia, is basically, you create a clone of your elite model that can't be killed, how you activate this glitch wasn't described, thus it must be illegal.

As for the evil ghost, I only seen it once on video that showed it in backwash, I think I will do some research on it.

Ok, here is my research about the so called, Ghost of Halo 2 multiplayer.

A ghost, can be a player that lagged so much, that he didn't register into the teams, he "appears" to glide, but what makes him a player, is that he has a firing animation with weapons, like a regular player. The laggy "ghost player", unless on purpose, does not generally know he is lagging, but generally, this lag prevents him from communicating to anybody.

A real ghost, on the other hand, may be invulnerable, or simply normal, or tough to kill, when the ghost fires, it does not appear he is shooting, and the player, whether being meleed, or shot at, by the ghost just generally hears his/hers shields deplete and take damage.

The ghost, (under my hypothises) is capable of meleeing you without lunging, (similar to the melee system, if not identical like Halo CE) instantly, and quickly, and has infinite grenades, and possibly infinite ammo.

According to Halopedia, the ghost is capable of using any weapon, whether its on the map or not, it can switch weapons instantanously, as for the way it appears, it always glides, but it does have a jump animation, and reload animation.

As for being killed by it, whether it is a laggy player, or a ghost, any kill from it will be credited to "The Guardians".

So, if the ghost appears to be incapable of any shooting animation, deals damage instantly from a short distance, and occasionally disappears, it is a real ghost, if the ghost has a firing animation, it is likely a modder, or a laggy player that didn't register on the score board.

Interestingly, the Ghost appears in Halo 3 as well.
