I was farting around on Cairo again, having skull fun and mistakenly shot Miranda Keyes in the head during the hallway battle. I have BE, GBP, Sputnik, Catch, Angry and Envy going on and her lil head should have popped when I tagged her (AS she moved IN FRONT OF MY LINE OF FIRE I might add, lol), but it did not. I saw an experiment needed to take place so I shot everything alive and dead in the head and sure enough MK was the only one whose head would not go plasma grenade!

Anyone else had this happen? I seem to remember that in the past when I have on purpose (yes, really) headshot her that she had reacted properly ("Ouch! Chief!"), but not this time.

I've never shot Keyes...

In H3, the only Grunt unaffected by GBD was that Final Grunt. He was also unaffected by Thunderstorm.

As far as I know, the Cowering Grunt is still affected by it as well as the special characters around the skulls. And Johnson.

But I never tested it on Keyes. I can test the Great Journey Johnsons though.

Leave it to womy to find that! Never knew that and a good point was made by SG. Are clones affected by GBD needs to be answered (for some unknown reason). Plus, if you capture Johnson before he gets on the Scarab in GJ, is he affected by GBD? These are things we must know dammit.

I just tested it. On Great Journey, only Tartarus, Keyes, and Scarab Johnson are unaffected.

Wow I never knew that. You still learn something new after all these years.

"No Mission Too Difficult, No Sacrifice Too Great—Duty First!" - The fighting first's motto.

Losing internet 9/7/2012 until i don't know when. See you starside folks.


Fada beo Halo 2!

Huh, i never knew that, i'll have try this out myself! lol and you found out by an accidental shot to the head.

I like how you said "Johnsons", you must have seen the ending of Halo 2 segmented.


EDIT: Saw your post above, you could try getting 4 Johnsons in the control room battle using the Spectre and see if GBP affect any of them.

Well I can say it was impressive, but I've never actually watched it until now.

There's no need. All the clones share the same properties.

The record for Johnsons is around 100 I think done by Duelies or causeofdeath

Did it overload Great Journey?

And does this mean I can claim the record for getting the largest number of Elites in the level?

Let me make sure of the number then, I'll research later.

I guess I'll have to get every Wraith, Banshee(If Johnson can get in them), Spectre, and Ghost in the mission to the control room.

Can if you want but if you just want a bunch of Johnsons, take the Spectre back to the other room and let him out, then drive off real quick and go pick up another Johnson.

Quit and save as soon as you get to the Tartarus fight start CP with a Spectre. Then you can practice gathering Sarges. it's fun at first and then it's endless Johnsons, lol.

I'll look right now while a vid I just made renders.

Edit: It was indeed Duelies and I found the quote I was looking for but it was a guess...200 Johnsons...I'll write to Duelies and ask.

That's all the info I needed.

Found this and it looks like I'm not the first to overload GJ. Darn.

Ha ha, that saves me from writing to Duelies so thanks for the link. Like I said before, nobody has overloaded with troops like you have. It was thought you could only do that with Johnsons.

That's a real old vid that he re-uploaded.

Finally! You replied. I was starting to think you were ignoring me. I made sure to give you credit for the army because I forgot. Anyways, yeah, no problem. It's unbelievable that this was discovered so many years from now. Did anyone suspect the spawning Elites were infinite before? Yay that means I've contributed to the Halo 2 tricking community right?

And thanks Grumpy for your Wraith into Control Room tutorial. I finally did it! :D 3 Banshees, 1 Ghost, 1 Wraith, 4 Hunters, 5 Elites, 2 Spectres!!! Now all that remains is a more manageable army!

I didn't think you could have that many elites. I always thought that reinforcements came after the others have died.

Maybe a PC thing? I can't make them spawn more than 3 times.

I might need to put my fan next to my 360 before I do that.

Did you allow Johnson to go down to the ledge? I think that's what allows more Elites to spawn.

If you did and they still don't spawn, go to Tartarus and try shooting at Tartarus. Also try going from the medium level into the grav lift to the upper level. That's what I did. I was going up and down.

Or maybe you have to block them?

Anyways, I'm going to test it right now. I'll post the results soon.

I'll have to open the windows and turn the AC on around Thanksgiving so that stupid Arkansas weather doesn't get to my Xbox.
