Alternate dialogue Playing within the legendary
difficulty setting will bring new dialogue not heard in the
other modes. For example, after being massacred by a force of
Grunts, Jackals and Elites, one of the grunts will ask, "Can I
have his helmet?". Also, your fellow Marines seem to be a bit
more talkitive.
Under the legendary difficulty setting,
view the entire first FMV sequence. During the sequence, the
General says things very differently when compared to the
sequence under the easy difficulty setting.
Screenshots Start a game using the
-screenshot
command line parameter. Then press
[Prt Scn] while playing to copy the
current screen to the clipboard. You can now paste it into the
program you want to.
Alternate ending sequence Finish the last level of the game in campaign mode within
the legendary difficulty setting. The new ending will feature a
human and alien fighting hand to hand. The human will say "Its
over", and then they hug because they know the explosion will
kill them. Also, the FMV sequence of each battle scene will be a
bit longer.
Hints & Tips
Haloball: Get Warthog out of stadium There are two ways you can do
this. One way is to place a Warthog in a corner, with the front
facing out. Now use it as a ramp for other Warthogs. The other
way is to place a Warthog in a corner, then throw a plasma
grenade under it, then a fragment grenade. When it flies up,
shoot it with a rocket to knock it up to the stands.
Note: At
times the Warthog slides off. A second rocket can knock it up
farther and, sometimes stop it from falling off.
SaberArena: Get on top of billboard In order to get on top of the
billboard advertising a Warthog, face it and walk into the left
corner of the map. You will teleport up to it. You will find a
laser rifle. The only way off is to jump.
Silent Cartographer: Get to the
Silent Cartographer without fighting You need to have a overshield
with you. After you open the door where the Gold Elite with the
plasma sword is at, turn right. There should be an intermission
sequence where Master Chief kicks a rock to see how deep the
fall would be. This is what you are trying to do, except land at
a pecise spot. After the intermission sequence ends, look to the
right and down. Notice that there are two platforms on the
right. Now position yourself and jump for the second platform,
then look down. The third platform should be underneath. Search
for any walls that you can slide so that you will not lose any
life or shields. Now slide down and go to the left. You should
see the Silent Cartographer and Convenant guarding at the other
side. Try not to alert them. Sneak to the objective, press E,
and you are done. Note: You will face Convenant when you must go
back to the surface. If you have an overshield, your health will
probably be at four bars and your overshield will be gone.
Streets Of Earth City: Nuclear signs There are two signs in the map
that will kill everyone close by if they are shot. One is on the
central tower, and the other is in the place where you will find
the Lifepod.
Streets Of Earth City: Find Lifepod There are two ways to locate
the Lifepod. One is to fly around under the map until you find
the place in one of the pillars. Another is to use a teleporter
on the side of one of the towers.
Note: In order to use the
teleporter, you need to use a Banshee and get out while in front
of the teleporter.
LightningStrike: Banshee Obtain a Ghost at one of the bases and drive up onto the
mountain. When your on it, find a way to reach the other side of
the map. You will find a Banshee over there.
LightningStrike2: Secret room Just go to the Red base and
walk into the corner where there is a group of rocks. You will
pass through a secret teleporter and find yourself under the
bridge. When there, search for a trench. Get in it, and look for
a corner with a shotgun in it. Walk into that corner and you
will find the secret room. There are rocket launchers, snipers,
active camo, grenades, and overshields, along with pictures and
a list of the beta testers.
Disappear from enemy radar (demo
version) Crouch when you walk. It is a
slow method, but it will work. It is really useful if you grab
active camouflage and do the crouch method. You will be almost
invisible to any enemy radar or eyes.
Multi-player mode suicide There are many ways to commit
suicide on multi-player mode. Get to a level that has ceilings,
like Rat Race. Grab a plasma grenade, aim straight up, and throw
it. Do not move. It will come down and stick to you, in time
blowing up and killing you. Another way is to have two plasma
grenades. Throw the first one roughly ten feet from you then
throw another one about a foot in front of the other. Now line
yourself up with them. The second plasma grenade will be blown
into you. A second way is to make a game play option where there
are no shields and all shotguns. Then go to a level with
stationary Covenant shields. Get as close to one as possible
with a shotgun. Shoot the shield and you will be killed.
Multi-player mode catapult Go to a level that can supports
vehicle. These weapons are requred: a plasma grenade,
fragmentation grenade, and a rocket in a rocket launcher. When
you first try this, back a Warthog up to a wall. Get on top of
the Warthog's gun. Now look at the ground in front of the
Warthog. Throw the plasma grenade in front of the Warthog. Then
throw the fragmentation grenade on the plasma grenade. Then,
shoot the two grenades with the rocket launcher. You could be
hurt. But you will be propelled high into the air if done right.
Note:
You can use this trick to get yourself on top of the cliffs in
Blood Gulch.
