Sorry to hear that. Maybe you should have turned left at Albuquerque, lol. Sorry, I couldn't resist that one.

l;abhrfiodj!!

Got a profile for it where I saved right after getting the banshie through the tunnel. I just load it up and play with it whenever I want. It is fun if you turn on skulls. Sometimes foes can take a direct hit and fly through the air while still alive. Just be sure to never select save and quit after you get it. just turn the x-box off and you always have access to it

Halo 2 for Life!

I've heard of it but haven't tried yet. I will the next time I have a chance (I'm waiting for online co-op lol).

I assume you mean any Scarab gun, including the 2 that are not on the bridge.

I never knew there were ones other than the bridge one. o.O

There aren't, in terms of clear easter eggs. However, in the Outskirts tunnel when the scarab fires, and in Metropolis when the scarab destroys the tank at the marine command post, something magical happens: the game actually spawns floating scarab guns, seemingly to do the actual shooting (though this doesn't seem to happen on Great Journey). It's kind of like the floating assault rifles in 343GS that the player was never supposed to see. Anyway, these weird scarab guns can be grabbed. Which means that, technically speaking, you can dual-weild scarab guns on Metropolis. And yes, it's been done before.

Yeah, what's the deal with the guns at the Scarab in 2 levels and not the third? They only appear once for a short while so I agree that those guns are not easter eggs. They never counted on dantheman87 figuring out how to delay the Scarab so the gun could be snagged in coop on Metropolis. As for the OS gun, I don't think Bungie had the slightest idea that we would get to that one.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I've gotten the one on the bridge. Too lazy to try for the others.

Fada beo Halo 2!

sure gotten it lots of times, except i've never gotten the outskirts one from inside the tunnel, it's really hard, Grumpy1 had a vid for it.

Yep.

I believe Grumpy is the only person to have gotten it from in the tunnel.

It actually took 3 tutorial vids to understand what I went through with that tunnel gun. Below is a kinda history for it (inside the tunnel).

When you watch you will see a Pelican in the water and a Phantom on the roof. The first vid is the discovery. The 2nd and 3rd vid show how I got those vehicles into position and the 4th vid is the trick itself. Just keep in mind that the tunnel map at the Scarab spawn overlaps in the water map of the vids. The Scarab and the gun spawn in 2 places at once.

Yeah, so far. I would love to have company though. I've got a friend now who's trying to put the pieces together.

Dual wielding it was the best. That and playing with the soccer ball with the scarab guns down on the street.
