This might be old, so please do not flame me if it is.

I was playing 343 GS, and when I took the elevator down to the gun-wielding flood, I noticed there was an overshield on top of all the purple com-boxes. I had never known this before, thinking that there was only active camo on the level.

I'll say nice find, because I've never noticed it either! I have an urge to go and find it now, but I can't be bothered to connect my 360 back up to my rubbishy standard def tv. Freakin' pc monitors with their inability to play original xbox games...grr...

You just have a crappy PC monitor. I'm sorry you have to group them all PC monitors together when those 30 inch eye-popping monsters are something I would rather use than a television anyday for gaming.

Never noticed that for 6 years? Geez.

It's ok though. I also have things I didn't know for like 3 years. Like the ammo cache at the start of two betrayals, at the top floor of the lookout tower thing. Really helped.

I also discovered a few days ago that if your health is at your last bar or two, your heart starts beating hard.

I actually found this for the first time by accident. I was trying to get away from a bunch of infection form and I ran to that tower. Lucky for me, the overshield saved my life.

To tell you the truth, I just bought Halo: Combat Evolved at the beginning of July in 2006.

Seriously? I knew about the overshield ever since I played the campaign for the first time, although I never knew about the thirsty grunt in the Maw, until recently a few months ago.......

I knew about the OS on that level, but what's this about active camo?

You do not know about the active camo? I cannot think of the exact location of it, but if you find it, there should be two of them.

  • 01.08.2007 3:58 AM PDT

I know about all 3 active camos and the oversheild.

Two Betrayals I start with a shotgun, and a plasma pistol = pain in the ARSE to get to the weapons cache on legendary XD. (I've beaten all levels on legendary but thats the only one I had to use two people for a spawn)

And on 343 I found that over shield the first time I played that level on heroic. I had no shields and was searching for a way to get a small reprieve so I jumped up there "BAM" overshield, ya shoulda seen the look on my face.
