Please...stop getting butthurt when I noscope you from the passenger seat of the vehicle I'm riding in :D

Since the recent discovery of the Halo:Reach Debug Code, I have tried multiple combinations within that to try and determine what can come of it. I've tried many complex holds and nothing seems to work. It seems as if it's only a simple testing combination is all.

Right now, all it does is makes your character's current coordinates display on the screen. So, I've heard. Upon playing around, I think it's the location of the CAMERA that is being used. I noticed the location jumps heavily when zooming in/out with zoom-capable weapons.

This, while in Theater mode for a film that used this, the Camera can go ANYWHERE as well....way outside the boundaries of the map. But one thing that bugs me is the [normal] tag at the end. I wonder if there's a way to switch camera focus on your character or between characters, as it doesn't change when entering vehicles too.

For those of you who don't know how to activate it, there are a couple conditions:

-Must be done in Custom Games
-Must not be over Live, meaning you have to switch the game to Local Only (you can still be signed into Live)


To activate it:
Hold your Grenade Switch button + Reload button + Right Stick In + Up on Dpad. Hold for 3 seconds and the coordinates will pop up on your screen.

Doing the above and holding Down on the Dpad, however, lowers your weapon. Your reticle will still appear onscreen, but your weapon doesn't show. (Can make for cool screenshots)

So, has anyone ever found out anything more from this? If anything else may be hidden within it?

There is no purpose outside of displaying the camera coords.

It can be done in any game type, derp.

You can do pancam. Pancam does nothing but let you roam a map anywhere you want. I doubt there is anything else you can do with it.

I think you can also you use it to activate pan cam and change speed settings to escape map boundaries.

Well Pan Cam works under normal circumstances, but with Debug enabled the barriers are completely gone so there's no restrictions. I was really hoping to try and find something along the lines of changing camera angles and such.

Realizing it just now, but all the people who do Machinima probably see no point in lowering their weapons when they are the only ones allowed in a game since it can't be done over Live. I still think there could be something more to it than what we've found so far.
