343 Guilty Spark: Hovering Assault Rifles

Do the grenade trick to stay in the pelecan (see below) Continue walking on the ledge past the lone soldier. Keep on moving until you see the cave entrance. Continue on the ledge until you are over the cave entrance. Jump on top of the entrance, then quickly jump down. Look at the entrance, and you?ll see 3 hovering assault rifles shooting at fleeing covenant. You can?t do anything to them. Once the covenant has fled, they poof! Disappear. Also, I think they target as friendly units (reticle turns green). SCIENTIFIC REASON: To make the covenant flee. Plain and simple.

343 Guilty Spark: Lone Warrior

When you get dropped off by the Pelican, run to the front of the ship. In front of the ship you well see a rock/boulder type thing. In front of that is two trees. In front of the two trees is another rock/boulder thing. If you go to the left of the rock, and land in the water you can crouch to full submerse yourself. If you shoot upwards at the Lilly pads the bubbles will kill you.

343 Guilty Spark: Hidden Camo

Simply use the pelecan grenade trick to get to the top of the level (to see the marine), but instead of heading towards the marine, head the opposite way, hugging the edge, until you see the strange plant you climb onto to cross over to where the structure is, instead, aline yourself with the tail of the plant, and look down, there will be a pipe, jump down onto it, and walk into the bush, you have just walked into a hidden active camo.

343 Guilty Spark: Flood on the move

At the beginning of 343 GS when you make your way to the downed covenant dropship, walk under the wing and zoom your pistol in on the tree banch that looks like a "Y". You'll see a flood elite combat form standing on it, but he jumps away in an instant. If u do the trick to get on top of the lvl and u come down on top of him, he only walks a few feet and disapears. If u kill him he'll get back up everytime he dies. Theres at least 8 flood like this along the lvl. You'll see 2 more when u walk across the log and zoom in on the other side by the turret.

Assault on the control room: Hidden Music Track

On assault on the control room level on the part where you finally see the control room and you are on a natural bridge over the final part of the level. There are some banshees that typically some elites get into quickly. With the right elements of surprise and weapons (rocket launcher) you can get into one of the banshees (this is about equally difficulty in any level but the parts before are a lot easier on easy it doesn't affect the outcome) you can from here go directly to the end which saves you a large part of the level or you could fly up. now this is hard to describe but if you are playing you will qwant to go toward the "pryramid" and up the towerish part. there are then 3 little U's around the main shaft on the second on on the right hand side if you get out of your banshee and stand near the edge you hear the soft sound of music. The music is beautiful and relaxing after one too many beers and way too many hours of Halo. The music is the theme track from a previous game that bungie had written called Siege of Madrigal.

Assult on the control room: Stay in Pelican

Very easy trick. At the starting of the level when you get pushed out of the pelican, press X quickly and you will get back in the pelican. But then you go spinning out of control and get stuck looking in the top right coner of the pelican and die in a horrible blurry green death. Have fun!

Blood Gulch: Silent Cartographer Reflection

Simply look on the side of Red base, (the side facing the ledge overlooking the canyon) there will be the reflection of the Silent Cartographer island. Nobody knows for sure why this is here, it could be a graphical glitch or is the something more?

Delta Halo(on any difficulty): "Press "X" to open Gate"

Start, do some nade jumpings, then turn left, jump down, kill the covenant, nade jump again, then turn left to see a little black box. Get to the box any way you can. Then hold X when you are close enough to the box, it should do something, but I dont know that muh of it. I think it opens the gate to Zanzibar or something.

Keyes: Captains Pipe

After you find him in the flood blob thing, there is a bunch of tentacles coming from the blob and attached to the ceiling and light panels. A couple (2 or 3) are just laying on the floor, and hang off the edge of the platform. if you look closely u will see his pipe in the very end on one of tentacles that hang off the edge of the platform. It's very small, smaller than the real thing. They probably shrank it to make if harder to find.

Pillar of Autumn: The Megg

You need to start the game on legendary. Once in that room where your shields are being tested jump ontop of the cryo-tube, then onto the shield tester and onto the ledge infront of it. Walk down the ledge until you see a yellow barrel. To activate the megg you must stand and jump on this yellow barrel. After that play the level through until you meet captain Keyes. Walk out and get the pistol and then walk right back in again and shoot him in the face (dosent really matter you just need to kill him). Courtana will call for marines who will come out of the room to the right (when exiting the bridge). You need to somehow get into that room by running into it when the marines are not blocking the door. Once inside the megg is on the roof, a big M written in pistol shots with blood around it.

Pillar of Autumn: Carry 3 Guns

As soon as the cut scene on the bridge finishes run out of the room as fast as you can. You will not pick up the pistol Capt. Keys gave you. Continue playing and pick up 2 other guns and go back into the bridge. You will pick up the Pistol and be able to use it as a third weapon.

Siera 117: The Mexican Jackal

This is an egg which really isn't hidden at all, but seems like there is a lot more to it. When you get to the downed pelican with the sniper rifle, look at the opposing cliff. While at first it may look like an ordinary cliff, it strongly resembles a jackal with a sombrero. Look closely and you can see its neck, side of the face, and the sombrero. I haven't been able to get on top of his sombrero, but maybe there is something on the right side of the brim which is hidden.

The Library: 343 Guilty Spark's comments

Get to a point where 343 Guilty Spark stops and hovers, waiting for you. Make sure you have a pistol, and make sure there are no Flood around. Start shooting him with your pistol while he is floating. He should turn towards you. Keep shooting and he will say stuff like the following. "Please control your temper." "Please stop firing your weapon." "Are you finished yet?" "We have more important business here." "That is completely unnecessary!" and my own personal favorite, "Please stop being human!"

The Maw: Thirst Grunt

We begin at the part where Foehammer goes down. After Foehammer is killed, continue going the normal way until you reach the first open door on the right. It should take about twenty to thirty seconds to reach the door, but once you do reach it get out of your Warthog and enter the shortcut. Take the first right in the shortcut and continue to the end of the hall until you reach the Grunt. There is a lot of dead flood in the hall, and the Grunt will say something like this: "Good thing that food-nipple's waiting for me at the starship, cause man, have I worked up a big, grunty thirst.

The Maw: The Rex

This is during the final sequence when you are getting away in the Warthog.When Cortana says "There is a gap ahead Chief" (or something along those lines) that is your cue to get ready. Ahead at the very large gap, you need to get your hog to hit it at a slight angle, pointing more to the left. You should land on the left side of the structure, to the left of the normal road you take. Drive the Hog to the wall and get on the turret to jump up on top of the wall. Above and in the middle of the roadway, there is a a bridge type thing, and two very dark tunnels. Head to the tunnel with all of the blood, and on the right side of the wall is Rex in blood.

The Maw: blind grunt

When you get to the talking grunt exit but take a right instead of a left and go towards the wall infront of you and there should be a grunt with a feul rod cannon running towards a pole thingy in the wall.

Truth and Reconciliation: Animal Sounds

Make your way to the 3rd battle area, the one right before the grav lift part, clean up all the enemies and move on just a little bit to the next are to make the music stop, then go back to the empty area. Then stand near any of these spots, and you should hear various sounds of distant animals. (do NOT stand at the area from the shot is taken, stand where the crosshairs are pointing to. Also in the 1st picture, stand below that tree. In the 2nd picture, stand anywhere around that tree)

User Interface: Greenday and Zerowing

Go to multiplayer and move your courser over "edit game types". Look at the picture of Master Chef, and read the description pointing at his armor, it very small and hard to see . The one on under the very top right says "all your base are belong to us" which is a phrase from badly translated game from Sega Genesis called "Zero Wing". People say this everywhere on the Net.

Various: Basis is based on Mars

The gas giant Threshold's moon, Basis, is actually the planet Mars, colored in blue. Maybe bungie put this in there too see if we would notice or were too lazy too recreate the textures.
