Alright, here's the deal about those "ghosts of Halo". They are nothing more than network glitches, when a player's connection screws up.
And when it does, they may occasionally become ghosts.
Here's what I figured out of it:
Halo PC: The laggy player (Jack, just for example) starts lagging from his point of view with the bad connection box showing in the bottom right corner of the screen at certain intervals. All grenades he attempts to throw will disappear, and he can deal no damage nor enter vehicles. He can walk around without having anyone else notice him, though. If he found themselves in the vehicle when getting glitched he will be lagging back and forth as he attempts to drive it, and he can't get out, how unfortunate!
From everyone else's point of view, he will appear as a motionless spartan model which cannot be killed or moved by explosions or any other means, although he will still flinch and bleed when hit. This raises a lot of eyebrows and most players will, in confusion, gather around Jack and start hitting him and shooting at him. Poor Jack.
After a while, Jack will get a "The game has closed down" message and appear to disconnect for everyone else.
There is another glitch. When Jack tries to disconnect from a wierd server (only seen this glitch on one server with my brother, he disconnected), he will still appear to stay in the server, but instead of carrying a weapon, he will stand in a constant T-pose. Everyone else get a "Jack quit" message at the end of the game.
Halo 2: Jack appears to lag out (disconnect) from everyone else's point of view while he has a blue screen of reconnecting. He also disappears from the scoreboard for everyone else. He is still on the server and can do anything he wants, but everyone else will see him as a spartan (or dinosaur, but who plays as a dino anyways) which slides around instead of walking.
Since most players have fear of the unknown, they will focus all their attention to Jack, usually resulting in Jack getting blown up or shot in the head.
Here's a friendly tip, Jack. Get broadband!
OR:
In team-based games, Jack may see players that are his team color, but there is no arrow and the small picture above the other player's head, and when targeting such players, his reticule turns red, leading to a lot of confusion as the player he's targeting is actually from his team. He may also see players with the small triangle-illustration thing above their heads and the reticule turns green when aiming at the player, however the player has a different color than Jack. The player will proceed to shoot Jack, and Jack will refuse to shoot at his "teammate" as he thinks he might get booted for betraying and patiently waits for the boot screen to appear...
(In some cases, you can freely replace Jack with SpaceCadet...)
