I was playing assault on the control room on easy and I discovered a glitch that I didn't know about before. It's a loading glitch that makes it so you can have enemies (4 grunts if you're playing on easy) to just stand still while you can shoot, grenade and melee them and they won't fall over or even recognize that you are there until you walk backwards and get it to load the area that you just came from. When you get the other load, the grunts will fly upward (if you naded them), fall down (if you shot or meleed them) or they will relize that you are there (if you left them alone).

To get this loading error, you need to get to the part of the level where there are some cloaked elites in a narrow indoor hallway. This area is toward the end of the level, past the main vehicle part of the level. In this hallway there is active camo that you need to grab that is behind one of the little pillar things. Once you get the cloaking head to the next room with the hunters. Just ignore the hunters and enter the next corridor. On easy, there are two jackels that you should just need to jump over their heads. Then there should be four grunts. Jump over there heads too. If they start shooting at you, you have to start over. Run foward until it says loading.....done and checkpoint.....done.

Now turn around and shoot those grunts. they won't move. Hit them, melee them, whatever you want to do. Then just run backward and watch them all die in unison.

When the grunts are 'alive' you can't walk through them but when they're dead you can. When they're dead and you get right over one and shoot it in the head with an assualt rifle, the fire bounces back and kills you very quickly. When you stick the grunts or when you pump them full of needles, the grenade or the needles will not blow up until you have run back and loaded the area with the hunters.

Have fun with this loading error, kill those guys and then revert to last checkpoint and do it again!

I've never heard of that. You can do the same thing with marines earlier in the level though.

I've done that multiple times. I first did it on Truth and Reconciliation (on ledgendary, as usual). I'd stick multiple plasmas on a grunt and cover it in an artistic way with needles, then walk back a little bit and bye-bye grunt. :)

You can do the same thing for the flood in the 2nd shield thing in Two Betrayals. Actually, you can do that anywhere in the game.

And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

In........................................................Out .

And theres a similar glitch that if you go to the first door at the top of the pyramid in AoTCR, get a ghost, sidedrive into the door, get out moments before it crashes, then you might be pushed through the door, and all the enemies will be frozen, punch em, shoot em, they wont do a thing, until you open the door.

Yeah, this can happen almost anywhere in the game. I believe it is because you are going through a loading zone without triggering the loading (by doing something like opening a door), so the AI isn't loaded either.

There's a video of it on HBO.

Its like holding onto an electric fence, and complaining that it hurts, yet you still do it. See the stupidity now?

How to make the Campaign worth playing

GT: I2edShift

Yeah, ive done that on accident, I got a full view of A swordsman elite (Gold)...and every type of Cov. It was kinda cool. I stuck plasma grenades by the dozens and thousands of needler rounds into him and when I went to the next checkpoint They all exploded at once....He went into orbit.

Yeah, I used to do that alot. Throw grenades at their feet, let them 'splode, then walk through the loading point and they fly! It's alot of fun.
