So I was playing some Halo for a bit of stress relief the other night and I came to the bit where the Hunters are on the bridge across from the bridge MC crosses. I decided to lure one of the Hunters out to kill it by tossing a plasma near it. Well the weirdest thing happened. Instead of landing near the Hunter as I intended it to do, as the nade passed close by the side of the Hunter it got caught somehow and went into orbit around the top of the Hunter. It didn't stick and it didn't just bounce and land. It circled about 2 to 3 times before blowing up. Bizarre huh? Anyway it was pretty neat and I thought I'd share and see if anyone else ever seen this? I wish I'd been taping it but I figured I'd seen about everything in that game.

Awsome glich Burns. I hope someone can replicate this. Sounds almost like those homing missile glitchs in other games where the homing missile is shot where it circles the target trying to hit it.

Sounds pretty cool, I'll see if I can replicate it tonight.

Thanks for the replys, I won't have time to try it myself for a couple days but will, and will try to get a vid of it. Of course I think it was a one in a thousand shot or some weird glitch so I don't hold out much hope of a repeat.

In the meantime if anyone can replicate it or shows up who has seen it the confirmation would be nice.

Cool. And yes weird. So I guess it works with any Hunter. So, Halo, and HPC at least. I wonder if H2 does it too? And what is going on to do it?

I'll have to check back in a couple days, road trip tomorrow. After that I may have to try it again myself.

Maybe the nade just bounced off its spines?
