any flood level: floody buddy

Find a flood dude who looks like an elite(make sure he's not dead)and if he's come back alive as in dead then alive he's useless,then get either a pistol or a shotgun,if he's far away shoot him with a shotgun near his front center,if he's close shoot him with a pistol on his arms and he will follow you where ever you go!Tip: flood dudes of any type are retarded so the can do freindly fire and kill floody buddy and he won't live forever.Tip: your floody buddy is so weak that almost anything that hits him will kill him,it sucks.Tip: don't get mixed up with floody buddy and retards.there is a picture of a floody buddy in the gallery on page 1 and it says "got the time?"

Any with flood: Wierd Sparks

Once a flood form is dead when you shoot it sparks will come out. Possible Explanation: or once the bodies "die", they are no longer part of the game, and it would be the same as just shooting a bare floor. But when they are shot with the pistol either smoke or a ball of light appear.

Any With Human Flood Forms: Moving Dead Flood

I have only noticed this in Human Combat forms. After you kill a Human Combat form, sometimes the tentacles on it's chest and arm will still be moving. Sometimes sounds can be heard from the Flood as though it were still alive, even though it isn't.

Assault on the Control Room: Ghost Glitch

You can tell where it is.. that one awful area with alot of nonsense. This glitch took place after the carnage is over. However! It can happen at any time. Just drive the ghost up to a rock(weirdly enough, it does it ocassionaly with a vehicle) and just start shootin away. Here is a link to the video showing this: ghost glitch vid

Assault on the Control Room: Fall through elevator

On AotCR After you go through the outside area with the banshee, two ghosts, a few turrets, and lowered path with two doors at the bottem and an elite in each, grab a ghost by taking out one of the drivers and take it through the level untill you reach an elevator that goes up (should be the first you come to) and put the ghost on it. Get out and activate the elevator. Get back in the ghost and when the elevator moves up, you should go through the floor. If you land correctly and dont flip, you will be at the bottem of the shaft.

Assault on the Controll Room: Cutscene Music Alteration

Okay, Here is a nice little trick that must be done in the co-op mode. Go to the level Assult on the Controll room, you need to do the Easter Egg that activated the hidden music. Have one player standing there and have the other player go through the remainder of the level too the cutscene, you will hear the music in the cutscene at right volume so you can still hear the speech... pretty nice eh?

Assult on the controll room: cliff glitch


Get up to the part where the pelican flies over the bridge, and you see marines get dropped off as soon as you exit through the door and cortana says the weather paterns etc. etc. go left to see the plasma turret (theres usually a grunt so melee him) jump over the edge onto the indent into the wall

walk over to the other side of the indent, there you will see a bit of the wall you cant walk up, run on an angle and jump at the very last moment facing alongside the cliff.

you should land on a slope and you wont or get a little hurt, you should aim for the edge of the cliff with the rock on it aim to hit its edge and the same slope glitch will happen again.

you should be down the bottom, from there (if you did it quick enough) can ride on the pelican, and get the tank and park it at the bottom of the cliff ( where you normally exit after crossing the bridge) and own em.

Hang em high: Super speed

In one corner of the map on the bottom floor there is a platform held up by four slanted posts which spawns frag grenades under it. Go on to player split screen and have one person stand on the platform with the sniper on it. Have another person stand near the grenade platform. The person on the sniper tower must RUN of straight towards the nearest stand on the grenade platform and go up it. The player near by should watch the other running up it and should notice that he is moving faster than normal. It is confirmed that it onlyworks on split screen and gets faster if you run up it more. It stops when you stop continuasly running up and down.

Keyes: Weird Assault Rifle

On the level Keyes, when you start, a little forward and to the left there is an assault rifle standing up (side with handle and trigger on the underside). There is no ammo in it and you cant pick it up if you drop your assault rifle and come back to it. you cant move it with a grenade, shotgun, ect.

Keyes: Talking blob?

Imediately after you start Keyes (level) you will hear a trnsmission from keyes. Walk forward a little ways and turn to your right when you reach a grate-wall-thing. you will se flood infection forms jumping at the grate. Look closer and you will see that you are looking into the control room. You can see the flood blob and everything. I cant tell from where I am standing but I think I can see Keyes already absorbed into it. Meaning: Keyes is talking to you while he is in the flood blob.

Many: No shotty kickback

After you melee with a shotgun you can fire any time after that and it will cancel the animation and both will have effect. This combo isn't really much help because if you are close enough to melee you probable killed them already with the shotty but its cool anyway.

Many: Fast Melee

Press B, then Y, L, then B (BYLB) very fast. It will be the same like BLB(melee , nade, melee). But the first melee, you will melee with the weapon you're holding with and the secend melee, (after the grenade) you'll melee with your secondary weapon. You will also melee very fast.

Many: Glitch Humping

If you kill one of your allies that have armor, T-bag(crouch, un-crouch, crouch, un-crouch... ect.) the dead body and shoot him.If you do that,all of the sudden, you'll get hurt without someone shooting you. Sometimes you have to shoot a certain spot of a dead ally to do this glitch. While it may seem like a joke, this glitch is 100% legit.

Many: Shoot through shield

You know those stationary shield generator thingys? Get something that shoots a lot and has a lot of ammo, i mean the Assault Rifle. then walk into the shield, and keep walking into it. you should see your gun, but your in-game model's gun actually went THROUGH the shield! if people shoot you, the shield will protect you, but you can shoot from behind the shield!

Many: Infinite Ammo Trick

This requires two weapons, and one on the floor. It requires you to reload, but as you reload, drop the weapon. You will hear the reload sound for the particular weapon, but it will lay on the floor. Any time after the reload sound is done, pick it up and it will appear reloaded, but with the full clip. (for ex. rocket starts off with 2 shots per clip, and 2 clips [4 shots in total], after the glitch [even if you have shot out your first clip, you will still have those 2 clips full [4 shots]).

Many: Backpack Reloading

This is when you reload a weapon without having it out. all you do is waste some ammo press "X,X" then "Y" but usually i press YB because its my instinct to push B when taking a new weapon. you can do this until you run out of ammo.

Many: BLB

Very simple combo thats easy to pull off! Whenever in a tight situation just hit "B,L,B" and it release a fast double melee.

Many: Remote Control Hog

This glitch could be done with any vehicle. RCing mean's (in Halo definition), controlling a vehicle with out getting in it.You could also ride 2 or even 3 vehicles at the same time.This is how you're gonna rc a warthog. (It's more easier to rc with a warthog than any vehicle besides tanks)first, you need 2 warthogs put right beside each other, but the two warthog driver seats need to be right beside each other. Then you have to keep switching driver seats. There's 3 ways to know how you're controlling both hogs, The first is if you are in one hog and the other hog has it's lights on. The 2nd way is if the weels turn on the other hog and the last but not least way is that you get out of the warthog and get to the other one very fast without touching the ground.If you want to control the warthog with out the other warthog, ride for a little while and get out of the warthog, you're in.

Multiplayer: Barrier Breaker!

This glitch uses the Infinent turret glitch/ for thos of you who dont know it here it is Any Multi w/turrets - Infinate Turret Start a forge game with at least 2 people, have one monitor forge you a turret, have him drop it down. When he no longer has control over it, use it ( RB ), Then have your monitor friend pick you up, you will still be on it and he can turn you, flip you, rotate you, but thats not important. Just press B and you will rip off the turret head, but the initial turret itself will still be there, Replicating the turret. Me and Uglymann44 Figured this out, but we did NOT Discover this glitch, it was figured out before us, we just never knew about it. Posted By: Squirrelz well anyway in forge mode you can move objects outside the barrier for this glitch you need 2 people one to be a moniter one to go outside the barrier, you have the person get on the turret and then have the moniter move the turret outside the barrier dont move him to far though or he will probubly die.then when your outside the barrier rip off the turret and you will officialy be outside the barrier. This glitch has a few probulems though, 1 i havent had enough time to test it everywere and 2 bungies not dumb anymore theve established kill zones outside some barriers Have Fun, Fuzzy Blue

Pillar of Autumn: Graphical Screw up

The first time you learn in the game that the ring-world was called "Halo" by the Covenant was after you save Keyes, before that it was just called "Ring-world". This is what I find interesting, one the first level (Pillar of Autumn) the Holo-panal Keyes is observing has the following image desplayed on it (see below). Why would it display this if they didn't know what it was called yet? Sounds strange to me.

Silent Cartographer: Get through locked door

You know the level Silent Cartographer, where there's a lock door with a elite with the energy sword behind the door. If you can't do the glitch where you ram into the door before it close. Here's another easy way how to get through the door. When the door is locked, first you have to put a warthog right by the door with the gunners seat right by the door. You need a ally to be in the gunners seat. Now you have to jump on the warthog, right behind the gunner. Shoot the machine gun, not the GUNNER, and the gunner will look at you with the machine gun pointing at you, when the machine gun does that, the machine gun will push you through the door or wall. If you go through the wall you can see through other walls so don't worry where if you go through the wall. It will take a few tries, but it would work.

Silent Cartographer: Get out of map

There are a couple of ways to do this, all where the hunters are. Try each way too see what works for you.
Option 1: Where the hunters are, kill everything and have one player jump on the rock near the hill, Jump on his head and then throw a plasma grenade at aswell, jump up to the cliff and the grenade should help you make it.
Option 2: Drive a warthog to the same place and use its turrent to jump up to the cliff Option 3 Get an overshield and have a hunter whack you up, as you jump where the wall is low.

silent cartographer: blasting across chasm to the blue hallway

MAKE SURE U HAVE AN OVERSHEILD FOR THIS the way you do this is you play the level normally until you get to the door you had to unlock. drive a warthog half way in (this will be as much as you will get it) then reverse a bit and get out on the same side of the door you wer on originally. then blast the warthog through with the rocket launcher you would have picked up earlier from the pelican. after you blasted the warthog through the door drive out onto the plat form where a short sequence will play. normally in this, master cheif walkes out onto the edge of the platform and kicks off a little ball thingy. but if you drive the warthog out, it runs over him and kills him, leaving behind your frag grenades (may take a few times to get it so they dont bounce of the platform, if they do bounce off the platform, revert to the last checkpoint as soon the sequence finishes cos a checkpoint is saved about a second later, then you have to restart the level). you then see him standing perfectly still, not moving at all, and magically the ball thingy i mentioned before jumps off the platform by itself. now that you are left with 3/4 frags lying on the ground you can position your warthog so that when you set blow the frags up using a plasma the explosion will send the warthog flying. if you sit in the gunner seat you might slingshot urself into the hallway :)

Truth and Reconciliation: Where is Johnson?

On Truth and Reconciliation when you start you hear johnson barking orders as he usually does. But, on closer examination you find he is not in the group of marines that leave the pelican. Cortana even tells him to move the marines in when the covenant returns fire. Also, after you board the covenant ship, johnson is whith you. When does he come in?

Two Betrayals: Motionless Enemies

Load up Two Betrayals with your buddy. When you get to the Second Phase Pulse Generator, before you walk in there, get your buddy to stand next to the check point, and you just run in there, and the moment you ping the Generator, make your buddy run through the check point pinging you back to that loading point, with the generator being hit and skipping fighting through 15 flood that storm through the door. Now walk out side to your Banshee, and get killed, now you should re spawn out side by your banshee's. Now walk back inside and by the checkpoint you will find all of the flood that you were supposed to fight through, motionless, in game objects, but not real AI. Just walk past the check point and ping! they get the AI coding back, and the hunger for your blood too.
