YOU, SIR, KNOW NOTHING.

IN SCOTLAND, BAGPIPES ARE A HOLY TRADITION THAT GETS PASSED DOWN FROM FATHER TO SON WHEN THE BOY BECOMES "OF AGE" AND CHALLENGES HIS FATHER TO WHAT WE REFER TO AS A WILLY WALLACE. BASICALLY, A DEATHMATCH.

So I was doing the Scarab gun glitch and just driving around on Metropolis in my Banshee. I was in the area of the when the Scarab gets stopped and can't go any further. So I came across some Pelicans flying in and out of the map like you see usually in campaign. The same two Pelicans would shoot for a few seconds, fly away, disappear, and then respawn and repeat the process. One Pelican though, would fly in and then not disappear but instead, it would continuously fly around in a big circle, ramming into walls whatever was in its path. What I realized is if you leave the area and then come back, the same pelican will be stuck against a map barrier and slowly moving down towards the ocean. There is no death barrier out there so you can go underwater and watch as it slowly makes its way to the ocean floor(floor of map). Once it gets to the bottom, it stops moving for a little but then will start freaking out and start flipping in random directions. A marine without a weapon then flew out of the Pelican somewhere in the middle of all of this flipping. He just kinda stood where he landed and stared at me. Nothing happened so I just obliterated him with the Scarab gun for -blam!-s and giggles. But what was really interesting is that when I would go by the Pelican that was flipped, It would tell me "Press A to flip Banshee". Whenever I did so, the Pelican would start flipping crazily everywhere. As hard as I tried to some how get in the Pelican, I just couldn't do it though.

So I came here to ask, if any of you have any prior knowledge on what just happened to me. Or any explanation from someone who knows their glitching?

Yeah, that Pelican that turns toward the Scarab is fun. If you watch it for a while, then set the Banshee underneath where it pauses for a second, you can jump off the banshee and enter the Pelican. Then you go flying in that circle.

I know that pilot real well, I got him out on Outskirts here. By the way, you're only the second guy to get a live pilot out without modding so grats on that.

I used to have a vid of flying around inside the end Pelican but I can't find it.

Heh, by the way, you can get the Phantom pilot out much easier but he doesn't look cool like the Pelican pilot (he's really special, there's nobody like him in the game but he's real and in all the Pelicans, we just can't see them. Some modders say there are 2 pilots in each Pelican but idk.

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

Why, that same thing happened to me last year in May. I was chasing the Pelican you can board in the banshee, gave up and watched those Pelicans dive in and shoot missles. For the hell of it I followed and found a pelican tail sticking out of the water.

Go underwater and I see a bunch of Marines with SMG's sitting there. One pelican is submerged while the other is pushed against a cement wall.

Then I got lost in the level and had to Restart D:

That's pretty cool. I only got to see one Pelican get stuck though. And there was only the pilot that I saw over there. No marines.
