In Halo 2, we probably all know of the scarab plasma rifle that has unlimited battery and destroys anything with ease, but did Bungie think anyone would even think to hijack a banshee in a tunnel at the exact moment you get a checkpoint?... And take it all the way up to a secluded bridge? If they didn't, well people found it pretty easily. If you ever have done this, you may know the glory that you feel when you first see the rifle on a small weapon holder with a high voltage sign. You then think, "Wait, it's just a plasma rifle?" Then you fire it. I don't need to say the rest. And how about the hidden soccer ball on the same level? It was clever, and if you find both, the game might glitch and you have to use your banshee to fly over the building with all the ordinance-crazy marines. So, how long did it take you to find out about it? Or to get it...
I didn't find out about it until 1 or 2 years after I got Halo 2, but as soon as I researched a little bit into Halo 2 and found that info out, I went to the level that it's always on and then lured the banshee through the tunnel and then uh... borrowed the banshee from the original driver so that I could fly there, and I did that on my 6th attempt at it.
I also learned that you can have two scarab guns at once. If you take the original scarab gun with the way that we all know by now, and then go to the part where the scarab climbs over the building that you're on and goes to the place where you disable it, if you're in 2-player mode, have one player go forwards as usual, but have one player stay where the origin of the blast was fired, which is very close to where the giant ball is located. Then when it is set to fire, have the player jump at the second scarab gun when it's firing and take it. You have to be quick though, but dual-weilded scarab guns would be awesome to use.
Not sure if any of you knew that already, but to those who don't, I hope it helps you.
