You survive the banshee crash in multiplayer because you can’t kill yourself with your momentum in MP. In campaign, you can take fall damage and slam into walls.
@@rickmarinara5179 Yeah, in campaign you can die just by falling a long way in mid air, but there's also a short window before that where you can take fall damage. It's not as formal as in Reach where you actually get stunned for a second but it does happen. If you jump off the top of a moving scarab you often take damage when you land.
The "Giant Monitor" is a perfect example of how much work Bungie put into these games. They could have simply based that entity on the security camera and have it simply pivot like the camera does when it looks around. Instead, some artist(s) spent weeks (at least!) animating it so it would move around slightly when it focuses on objects. As a result, it shows up as a friendly contact on the motion tracker when it looks around. All that work just to add a bit more flavor to the level. Incredible.
I'm fairly certain the pelicans do all have rocket pods in campaign, I'm pretty sure I've been killed by a random barrage on missions besides Sierra after betraying marines.
I wonder if an "ambient banshee" of sorts exists in halo 1, in the second mission "halo". I remember getting elites to fall out of the banshee on the trees and still couldn't drive them. I guess the alternative is they're just disabled on that level? Would love to find out.
Just jack one during the two big fights in the level. Eject your hornet over one and board. Eject over a friendly phantom, then jump onto a banshee. Feels badass
Breh I almost cried when I saw the little puzzle ball. I remember watching videos about that when I was like 11 trying to figure out what it was and what secrets it was hiding. I'd almost forgotten about it.

Bro imagine if they ignored any feedback and consistently made the mcc worse with each update. Bro imagine it's been 9 years of zero support bro just bro

The giant monitor and cameras being vehicles imply that they are being driven by an invisible ai. One that has been forced to witness an endless onslaught since 2007. Unable to do anything about it.
You should check out the installation 04 map on halo reach, the one with the floating monitor in the one room, you can "swap" for its laser rifle (except you can't), would be interested to see what it's called in the game files and what the monitor version of the gun does. It's also super strange that they gave a fusion rifle to something that never attacks (as far as we know)
The wriaths in odst's campaign can also be driven using the same method as the halo 3 aa wraith method. Idk if that was known or not but that's also a lot of fun.
Person playing halo: I like how they incorporated chairs on this MP map you can use them for cools jumps. General Heed: Those are not chairs, they are in fact vehicles.
While that is technically true as he has to modify some aspects of these things for them to work but if you are implying that it's all just mods made for content that's simply untrue

It's not genius whatsoever. It's a common practice. Also, 343i has done it plenty of times in the games they've made. Because it's a common practice in game dev.
It just now clicked in my head that you got 2 Credits in OG Halo Reach for destroying the turret on a Phantom because they programmed the Phantom turret separately and as a destroyable enemy
Now that very last Secret Vehicle to Drive was that Cut Turret Walker machine that he showcase in a previous video. It was functional vehicle but just the polygon model. Aside from all UNSC and Covenant Pilotable Ships.
@@LitoMike it’s the egg on sandtrap. I remember seeing videos where people didn’t know what it was. I think general just showed it’s like an asset to trigger the mines in the outbounds. It’s been a while since I’ve seen this 😂
Looks like Bungie wanted to have ball competitions at some point. Problem is, it would be weird seeing players get into a ball and the feet sticking out.
With the cameras I remember back in the day there was a modded map that the cameras were linked too that allowed you to see a live feed of in game footage like a camera would with a special tv
Recently played through the campaign with a bunch of friend and just by messing around we accidentally hijacked the aa wraith. Damn thing ripped through anything
This could be a hilarious meme. So you may know god as our creator. But hes actually a vehicle and with a little modding you can see he is actually driveable
Is it possible the weapon attatched to the monitor is an invisible laser? Mayb ethats how it tracks players. Also, mm yes, The covenant defender. The classic turret on Sandtrap.
i accidentally drove the AA wraith, and the next time i didnt know i was supposed to knock the hatch off and thought my game was glitched because i couldnt drive it, so i unintentionally found that secret
In halo reach, there is a single chest piece you can wear on MCC from season 5. It's called the exo ...something or whatever. It has not got a combat knife on it. I was wondering what happens when you assassinate someone without any visible knife and when u wear Emile's Kukri shoulder piece. Maybe there could be a secret assassination animation
Is it true that things like the Cold Storage Monitor are vehicles because that's what they have to be for the multiplayer netcode to sync them? I think I remember reading that somewhere.
I think the rocket pelican also shows up in the first scarab fight on the storm and possibly on the double scarab fight on the covenant I don't remember

Ambient Banshee is likely just to have the vehicle in a campaign map without risking a player hijacking it.
The aa wraith glitch actually no longer works. In mcc it used to but now the driver is invincible and can only die by having the vehicle blow up.
