Dropship on "The Arbiter" started flying round in circles

Is this a well known glitch and if so, there any way to fix it? I can't revert to last checkpoint because it takes me back to just before it begins glitching. I'd rather not restart the mission but it doesn't look like I have many options.

Sounds cool, any way for you to film that? You can kill yourself 5 times and revert and go back another CP (checkpoint) unless you have a loadzone CP. If so, start over on the level. However, if you saved and quit a little earlier, eject the disk without saving and you will begin wherever you saved and quit last.

That sounds like an overload of some sort, can you retrace your steps before it happened? Did you double back somewhere or did you move through the level real fast?

What do you want me to film? I'm playing on the PC by the way.

I'm sorry, I don't really understand the whole die 5 times thing. Also I wouldn't say I was going through the level much faster than normal. I've played this level a few times before so sometimes I'd be heading towards an area before I was directed there (I think I was a bit ahead of the dropship just before the video starts).

A quick film of the Dropship flying in a circle would be cool. No big deal though, just another H2 glitch but I enjoy watching them. I film a lot and if I'm playing I try to stay ready to film because you never know what's going to happen next in this game.

Did you watch the video in the OP? Because that's what it is.

Durp, no wonder you seemed confused at what I was asking. I'm tired and I didn't see your link. Sorry about that plus I thought you were talking about the dropship in the hanger so I had it all screwed up.

The suicide thing is good, if you kill yourself 5 times rapidly you will go back to the checkpoint before the last one you get. So if you don't like where the CP has put you, in your case, just dive out of the Banshee and let the death animation go its course and when you respawn, do it again 5 times and you will go back one CP.

Thanks man. No problem about the misunderstanding :D

Ahh, I got it. The whole dying thing didn't work out. So just as I was about to give up, I was flying back towards the dropship as some banshees were chasing me. The dropship started shooting them, which got it out of its loop and I was able to complete the mission :D

Ha. Never seen that glitch before. Funny, sound quite annoying though!
