Okay, this might seem old or weird but here goes. Has anyone here ever stood on an elite's head and shot it with a sniper rifle? I ask, because today, I managed to freeze them(no mods, so you cant flame about that) and shot it in the head two(2) times. I jumped on its head, shot it directly below me, and guess what happened. The elite didn't die, but I did! Gleeeeee!!!

Hmm, that sounds weird! I knew about the freezing AI trick, but I never knew you could kill yourself. Great find. ;)

there is not point in saying hey i got a 40- HIGH RANK MEANS NOTHING, it means you either bridged host or cheated...and the skillfull player like myself have 27s cause of cheating.

Yes, I have done that. I did it just recently.

Did you freeze them at the last part of AOTCR? That is where I did it.

its relatively easy, and was already explained in an earlier post. the computer might have thought someone was shooting YOU and not the elite????

The weirdest thing that happend to me, was, I was playing Aotcr level on heroic, and I'm in that stretch with the two invisible elites, and I decide to kill myself by letting an camoflaged elite kill me with his sword several times, and one death, he said -blam- you. other than that, I learned that a elite with a sword will always outrun you, so escape is impossible.

And I also caught killed from my own sniper when I tried no scoping a hunter up close, but the bullet richoceted off its armor, and struck me when my shields were down.

kill an MC in multiplayer. Stand on their head and shoot their visor with a sniper. It's known as ricochet, the bullet bounces and kills you. Also works with AR, shotgun, and other weapons on a covenant shield and other such surfaces like a warthog.

You probably shot the elite on a rock and the bullet bounced off the rock and back to you. Happens to me all the time...well not all the time, but it is possible. Now about the elite NOT dying you say... hmm dont know about that

It's also called strafing :)

Sometimes when you fire too close to enemies the bullet goes right through them. Especially the flood, gets really annoying when you waste three shells on a flood point blank and cause no damage. It might be the same thing here. And since we're talking about weird stuff on AOTCR, I've posted it before, but the strangest thing to happen to me was a gold elite jumping on the hood of my ghost, roaring, and hitting me with his sword :)

  • 10.21.2006 9:31 PM PDT

OK, it was the last part of AOTCR. I stodd on the Zealot's head, and shot twice
