Flyable Pelican/Phantom Found In Single Player On New Alexandria

[Spec Ops Lead]

Well it took long enough (1 day ) for this to be found, but years for the chance to do it. Now we can fly a pelican or a phantom!

Play through New Alexandria on any difficulty single or multi-player up until the mission objective is to defend the ONI base. Pick-up the jetpack, you WILL need it.

Tutorial-

Step 1: Fly your falcon on top of the building to the left of the club (if you are looking at it from the front).

Step 2: Jetpack onto the small ledge underneath the roof on the far side of the building. Lookup and jetpack to the switch.

Step 3: Now jack a banshee flying by and use that or head back up to your falcon on the roof and fly it through the building that is a giant oval, fly through the lower portion and you will transport into a pelican (for falcon) or phantom (for banshee)

Now just fly around and enjoy!

Oh great, another easter egg hacked to first. Halseys lab wasn't enough?

Was this a result of hacking? I'd really like to know whether or not somebody just found this normally.

This is great either way. What sucks though is that I was getting rather close to finding it myself as I was just exploring every nook of every building and hadn't yet gotten to that one.
Could'a been me…

Ah well, at least we finally get what we've been wanting. Now, where's that Scarab Gun?


-------------------Kinda interesting find ---------------------------

I noticed that if you fly up into the Covenant cruisers over the city you can find a cube in the center of them that has the entire texture map for the ship's model on all six sides. I like that kind of stuff - see how it was UV mapped.

This is awesome being able to fly all over the place. I'm beginning to think that all, or most, levels have a super hidden switch that gives you a vehicle and kills all barriers. I mean, you've found two levels that do this now with seemingly nothing in the "infinite" space outside of them. I think Bungie just wanted to give us the ability to explore un-obstructed.

Thanks Bungie.

Lol. Don't you remember IWHBYD?

Re: Halo: Reach Discussion

With Louis saying I'm ruining it by poking through the code and Urk calling my sauce weak (I wonder if the pun was intended?) I think I now have any non-old-school Halo fan automatically hating me.

Not that I really care for this newbies jumping on some proverbial we-hate-kornman-bandwagon...but...well, guess there's always 343i after this!

TBH, I think the rank cap was weaker sauce, but hey, that's just me.

Huh? Don't you remember everyone for months trying figure out what the exact triggers were? It was a long time before someone bothered to figure out the game scripting format and revealed that the only triggers were to be on Legendary mode, and that it only spawns 1 out of 7 times.

EDIT: ...I'm thinking of Halo 2. I rarely think of Halo 3's skulls when I'm thinking of easter eggs in the games. Forget about this post.

I was speaking specifically of kornman00, but he might have done that one too, I don't remember.

Spartan-043, yes, yes it was. There was a link in this thread to HBO, the first post was kornman00 explaining how he found it in the code, and it was posted before he actually even tried to do it. Seeing the name kornman should throw up big flags if you ever see it, he's probably the biggest Halo modder, back since CE.

About the IWHBYD thing, I seem to remember we were already trying musical sequences from halo songs at the time it was found in the code.

Note: for anyone not realizing. LB and RB act as descend and ascend like theater/monitor mode.

I've posted every single thing that was passed on to me in the news submission forum.

The HIH community definitely did not find this...
