Subject: I found a very weird glitch with a Power Drain!

I somehow did this on purpose in Forge. I released a power drain (a little before it actually releases) and then i turned into monitor mode. When I turned back into a spartan. THEN, the power drain flew! But, what was akward about it... IT was MALFUNCTIONING! when the time comes for it to be destroyed, It actually... restarts the whole power drain method! and it never blows up!! BUT WHAT WAS REALLY STRANGE... My friends IN-GAME... could NOT see it! (Then they started saying how crazy i was, etc... ) They Stopped calling me crazy once i FILMED the action with-in a clip! Is this a "on purpose" glitch or is it "bug"... because i somehow did it twice! I have the film in my filshare labeled "OMG" care to see it. its about 30 seconds of the mysterious action.

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.

i`ve seen the power drain blue "glow" while there was no power drain anyway

it also didn`t have an effect on my shields

You probably weren´t connection host. Strange things may happen then, like never exploding plasma grenades

Nice find!
Out of all the things I've done this game I cant believe I've never tried this.
A similar thing happened though, where me and my friend were doing the "no arm glitch" and basically instead of getting rid of my arms, he got rid of my entire body.

lol 0.o thats messed up

i`ve seen a marine body just fly into the wall and get stuck,i got a pic of it

infact i`ve done tons of weird stuff like getting a phantom stuck in the ground or making a phantom go mental and sometimes end up kicking the driver out of it

Me and my friend did a glitch to somehow actually well LITTERALLY "flip" the phantom... On a mountain outside of the campaign.... IT was really fun though. we had a checkpoint so we started catapulting ourselves with it. lol

Tool of Destruction:

Moa (1,793 kills)

It is because your Spartan is magic. Or, at least he was. The power drain invisibly drained it.

The weirdest thing I've seen with a power drain was a game on Valhalla, initial spawn.
It was a yellow bar host (go figure) we shot ours out of our forward man cannon and our power drain split into 4 different power drains that all landed on different sections of the hill. I have the vid saved somewhere.
