Hey everyone,

I decided to make this topic because I have yet to have seen something simular... I dont know.. maybe I'm blind. Sniping would be a problem for a blind man though... anyway. This entire thing is just gonna be cool stories, fun glitches, and cool/new facts about halo/halo 2. This should be interesting. I'm gonna start us off with a story as soon as I'm done typing the last word in this sentence.

Alright, how about.. the first time I got killtackular. This kind of freaked me out cause I wasnt sure what had happened, I just assumed it glitched and said two things at once. That is, until I found out about killtackular. It was ctf and I was on blue team. I was on my own heading towards red base. I believe it was 5 v 5. I was on my way up to the front door. I got.. oh, id say... 15 feet away from the door when someone popped out from behind the sniper rifle spawn point on top of the base. I tried to ignore them, cause when I looked up at him, I looked back down and I saw that I had hell right in front of me rolled up into a little ball. A warthog, from God knows where, and be parked broad side to the base about three feet away. One of them had come out of the front door and was running towards me, warthog slightly in his way. Another enemy had run down from the top of the base via-ramp. This little piggy was heading for the gunner's seat of the warthog. Well, acting in a sheer blaze of chaos, I tore up the person on top of the base and killed the person running towards me. The person that was ontop of the base soon responded back ontop. Seeking revenge, he quickly rushed at me. I had not even noticed. I quickly threw a grenade at the underside of the warthog and the person from the ramp heading for the gunner seat was smashed, but along with that, the person that had responded on top of the base had jumped at me, and when the warthog was sent up by the grenade, it killed him as well. Both kills counted towards my score on account of the grenade so it wasnt "killed by a vehicle". Well.. thats when my killing spree came to an end, the person that I killed second, the one from the front door, had responded behind me, and the grenade I threw at the warthog took out my shield so it was an easy kill for him. During all the comotion it said "killtackular" but I couldnt understand it.

Wow, that took alot more space than I thought it would...

looks like I'm gonna have to put in something else too.

How about a glitch this time:

Alright, towards the end of Assult on the control room, there is a bridge with no railings and it is completely covered in snow. This is the fourth bridge you come to, or to put it simply, the last bridge you come to.

Most of you already are very aware of the fact that you can steal one of those banshees and get a much better advantage on the enemy. Well, do all that, kill everyone. Once you are finished, go down to the bottom, near the wraith tank and take one of the empty ghosts (damage doesnt matter). The take it on top of the pyramid structure (as cortanna calls it) and come to the very first door (the one with the golden elete on the other side). Take your ghosts and set it parrellel to he door faceing away from the ramp you came up on. Straff to the left (in the ghosts) and then straff hard right and jump out. You have to time it so that you get out and the ghost pushes you through, not so that press X when you hit the door. Anyway, you should (if done correctly) be forced through the door and onto the other side. All the enemies will be frozen. They cannot attack you or anything. And you can do whatever you want to them. They can die, but they cannot react to your bullets or touch, and of course, they wont attack you bacause they see you. You can even do some cool experimentation and walk through the golden elete's sword and not be effected.

Have fun with this one--

You know what would be funny?

Is if MC turned out to be Jesus. He like, takes off his helmet and the Marines see him from his back and all this long wavey hair comes pouring out, and the Marines are like "A woman?!" Then he turns around and it's Jesus and he's like "Good Job Marines"

boosh

Wow Dr., that is one of the single weirdest glitches I have ever heard of... no joke.


You're not making that up are you?

It sounds crazy enough to not be real but I get the feeling I can trust you.

Heres a funny story:

One time, I was playing ctf in blood gulch (8 v 8), and I had gotten there flag. Thanks to some sniper recon, I was able to avoid the enemy and get to the roof top. Three other people, people on my team, were waiting at the red base teleporter with shotguns. Whenever the enemy would come through, they would murder them. So, I, thinking taht would be the safest way to go on account of all my team memebers support. So, I beam through the teleporter. Little did I know, someone was on top of the roof before I got up there, and they too had decided to use the teleporter, needless to say, they were massacred. So when I went through, they were a little edgie, and when they saw the red flag, they all fired at once. Just becuase the color red set them off. Then completely murdered me. Luckily, they were smart enough to pick up the flag and take it back to base themselves.

I borrowed Halo pc from a friend for a week, and during that time I had the chance to see some serious lag glitches.

There I am, sitting in a scorpion, and suddenly a warthog filled with enemies drives before me. It has it side towards me, so they can't see me. I shoot. The warthog continues for about 30 meters. Then it explodes, flipping it.
It looked really weird.

And another time, when I was playing boarding action, I got killed. When I was going to respawn, I respawned at the sniper rifle place on one side. Only, I respawned 1 meter outside of the platform, so I fell to my death. Then I respawned at the same place. Fell and died. Respawned at the same place again, fell and died. By that time, I had figured out that it wouldn't become better, I quit the game.

And on the xbox, on the level keyes, there is a door at the docking bay level just above the escape banshee. Sometimes when I play, a never ending stream of black elites come running out of it. They come with about 5 seconds in between. I stood there for almost ten minutes once, just blasting elites with my shotgun. Then plasma grenades. Then plasma rifle. When I stopped killin them, the game was moderately laggy and there was a neat pile of elites at the door.

Speaking of Keyes DaEIAITH2, at the end of the level, when you are on the third floor working your way down. I have an extremely fast and effective way down that almost garauntees no damage. I've heard from various people that they jump down onto the jut out of the second floor where the shade is. I have another way. Instead of immediately jumping to that, wait for the drop ship to come in. Once it hits the brakes, the front end will be pointing towards you. You're objective, is to land on the front of the dropship when the front of it reaches its highest point, then run down it while its leveling out. While you are running you will want to through a nade at the shade nearby in case you havent kill that elete yet. Jump down onto the jut with the shade and then jump towards one of the banshees. You will have to land on the banshee in a way that will make you slide and not take out your shield. Anyway, right as you hit the banshee get in it. This will give you some time to even fly around for a bit. Note: escort banshees are much faster and stronger than your average banshee. You can even bust through walls with it.

The glitch I wanted to point out by this is one where you may jump a little early to get onto the drop ship as it pulls into the docking bay. By a little early I mean, You jump to where you end up smacking into the front of the drop ship. If you hit the right spot, it will glitch and you will go inside the drop ship and walk up to a light blue elete, very easily killed btw. Then once the doors open, you can jump out just as the covenant does. yay, what fun. lol

Just to put in a fact cause there are none so far:

Did you know that the symbols spread throughout the structure in 343 are the same symbols in the covenant armor? Its extremely noticable on elites because on some of them, the symbol glows bright white.
