Juicy videos of my success will come soon.

I have successfully found the perfect strategy to organize a 8-12 marine army vs. my half Flood creature (imperfect as it is). And as a bonus, I got an Elite arms bearer (he's got 3 weapons) who I can kill anytime to retrieve those weapons. And you want to know what the best part is? I can put the marines anywhere I want! I got the fuel rod gun, rocket launcher, and I can swap weapons with the Elite for his beam rifle. But that's not all. There's about 11 fuel rod guns available for this fight (although I absorbed the Chieftain's fuel rod gun so that makes 10). Can anyone imagine what it's like to have a fuel rod gun wielding marine army?!

TLDR:

Half Flood vs. Marines and an Elite coming soon

Wow, turns out I was wrong. Make that up to 15 marines. The gauss warthog came out of nowhere and startled me. I also left behind the Mongoose. 3 marines. Great!!!!!

Damn, I killed the scorpion tank marine by accident. It could have been 16 marines!!! D:

I'm not trolling here. Here's a list of the marines at Journey's End:

-1 marine in a Mongoose spawned after triggering the Flood removal point
-1 marine in a Scorpion also spawned after that
-a Gauss Warthog with 2 marines spawned after reaching a certain point (I destroyed the previous one)
-1 pilots in 4 Hornets for 4 pilots
-2 marines in Mongoose dropped off by Pelican IIRC
-6 marines in 3 Gauss Warthogs

So the total is:

16 marines

Now if you manage to get such a collection, what do you do with them? The answer is in the title. You release half Flood on them and you get one hell of a battle.

Update:

Crap, I can't bring the Mongoose guy without the extra Hornets deloading.

I'm not making excuses. I never claimed to be good. I have never played any colonel better than me though.

It's coming... coming real soon. But for now, another tantalizing teaser to drive you people crazy...

PHASE 3 COMPLETED!!
15 marines (the Mongoose still didn't spawn :'( ), 1 Elite, 1 half Flood Elite. 7 fuel rod guns, 1 rocket launcher.

I also got an alternate game save that has 14 marines and 1 invincible pilot. I've reported the modding glitch at Horizon bug reports just now. Now the ultimate clash: invincible pilot vs. invincible half Flood Elite. Who will win? :3

Edit: 9 fuel rod guns. I forgot about the Scarab chieftains.

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

I don't even know what you're talking about, but the fact that it's you suggests that it's probably a crazy ass glitch.

Two glitches intertwined.

And...

It's here!

The only thing in Halo 3 that parallels CE's encounters (unless you're talking about enemies. Sierra 117, The Storm, and The Covenant have that).

Edit!

Something that I forgot to release with it.
