On the lightbridge in Halo (the level) if you shoot the glass (that you would normally stand on) before pressing the button the lightbridge activates in game instead of a cutscene. Also, it doesn't give you a checkpoint.

If you already know this, or if its widely known, or if you just don't care let the thread die.

Also, this would be a great way to shave off like 30 seconds on a speed run.

Whoa, just found something else weird right after I posted.

Ya know the slanted wall next to the switch? Ya know how it has a flat part on the top? (Next to the actual walkway). Well Im standing there on co-op and I killed my other guy and he respawned in front of, not behind, me. So i decided I was going to flood the level with weapons and many melees. Well, if you do it perfectly so as soon as he spawns in front of you, you melee him he will pick up 420 rounds everyime and it will add 420 to the number everytime. Im going to see how many rounds I can pick up, right now Im at 1680....bored as hell though.

Edit - Got to like 6000. Also, after I killed him about 75 times I shot his dead body, and he spawned behind me! Wtf. So I shot him, and meleed him for the kill, turned back to the piles of body and guns, and he spawned in front again. Strange.
