I was on the level at the point that you are just about to enter the hanger area when something very odd, unique and exceptionally cool happened.

Set-up:

I was just about to trigger the checkpoint that hits when you are entering the hanger area. I realized I had not gone back to grab up the health pack and some extra sniper rounds back in the previous battle area (the second main battle spot after the Belly of the Beast entry point, where the second 2 Wraiths are parked). I chastised myself for almost letting that door lock behind me, turned and saw..............A BLACK BACKGROUND where the doorway should have been. I am like, what ho, where is my doorway? I scoped in with my sniper rifle and it was just black, dead black. As I approached the doorway the absolutlely coolest thing happened. The doorway was not blacked out, it was actually a scene from earlier in the level, and it was outdoors! As I got closer I realized that the game had replaced the corridor part of the map with the outside environment of the map! It was all there, just like I was back on the surface, the stars, the Ring itself, curving upwards in front of me, and the big arse planet off to the right. It was the coolest thing I had ever seen the game do. After checking it out for 3-4 minutes and pinching myself a few times I decided to see if I could go through the doorway. It blocked me, there I stood, literally on the edge of the ship, with no way to go but back the way I came. I scoped in on the space and backed away, wondering if when I rounded the corner the normal corridor scene would come back. After a bit of experimenting, it took the actual checkpoint to make the locked doorway appear on my screen again. It was so damn cool! No, I did not get a picture, since I do not have a digital camera anymore, but this is the first time since I got rid of it that I had regretted doing so!

That happened to me once. Pretty damned cool, except I remember being annoyed I couldn't go back any further to pick up the healthpack and frags I was counting on for the hangar battle.

I got something like that once. Except the doors forward all stayed locked, and walking into the black made me fall off an edge and die.

Completely unexpected.

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.
