A few notes on the object overload:

It takes an extreme amount of time and effort.

Obviously, it requires an immense ammount of items to be in the map at once. (Which may sound obvious, but if you are trying in Solo SP, this greatly limits number of locations one can use the object overload.)

I am only aware of one place in the Solo SP game in which it can work. In the engeneering room of The Maw, where you have to frogblast the vent core, the flood will continuously spawn indefinately. If you sit in the engeneering room for hours killing flood, eventually there will be an item overload. That is how people are able to pilot the banshee on The Maw.

Now, if you play Coop SP, it should be possible to do an item overload anywhere. All you need to do is kill your partner over and over and over again for a few hours.

I've never done it myself, but I have seen footage which shows that if the level is object overloaded, when you fire a plasma weapon, no plasma bolts will come out. I can't remember if that is true for all guns. Other odd things also happen, like enemies not spawning.

I think it's a total waste of time. I mean the only good place to try it is on the maw, but still, it's an immense amount of time and effort for a very small prize.
