Halo uses Havok Physics, which has a plugin & is compatible with UE5. The bigger issue with UE5 is its modding and map editor, they’d have to make all those from scratch as you can’t ship your game using UE5 tools for your map editor, which is why few UE5 games have modding capabilities.
@TheLazyGamers so you're saying the physics should basically be the same as what we're used to? The feel of halo should still be the same? That was my biggest worry.
How come this is the first time I'm hearing about proper Halo PC splitscreen!?! This is so cool! IT CAN EVEN DO REACH WITH 16 PLAYERS! If you use parsec with people near by, or even with some in-person; you can have a mix of remote (parsec), local, and normal online to do a Halo Reach LASO run with 16 players... (Halo Reach is the only one that seems to network properly and in a stable way for that many players)
I like the pointing out how the myth of the weapon started and the crazy word of mouth and hoax methods people made up before it was figured out it was legit. I remember scouring the internet to get the mythical "Golden Warthog" too xD
referring to an old ass video i saw as a kid when youtube was still ripe with halo 2 content, utilizing i believe the spudnik skull, the double nade trick with 2 plasmas and a beam rifle you were able to do what i like to call "blitz launching* a ghost instead of a warthog. all this in the section right before you meet up with sgt banks. ill have to do some digging but i may look for it again
My favorite way back in the day which wasn't shown here was to push up one of those lil medical crates to the end of the level just above where you used the explosive blocks. There is a very peculiar line you have to prop it up to and (using the sputnik skull) you stand on it while firing the rocket to have the crate smack you up there. Did this often when I was a kid because I didn't know about about any of the other methods and I only learned about that way from a random video on a forum that was maybe a few seconds long
There's also the method of turning into a marine at the start on the bridge, progressing through the level up until the pelican drops off the scorpian, as the marine you can enter the Pelican and fly up there :)
This reminds me of all the glitches I tried out when I was a kid on Halo 1. The triple gun glitch on POA, the entire mission skip on AOTCR, leaving the Pillar of Autumn on the first mission. Not to mention being able to jump outside of the map on the Composer on Halo 4 and being able to control a mac cannon.
I used sputnik and a rocket launcher to shoot near me while standing on a box lined up with some geometry on the catwalk at the end of the level and launched myself up to it, took 2 hours but it was fun every minute of it. Edit: did not know there was a 500lb block of serious putty beside me when doing it, makes much more sense in hindsight as to why most of the time I overshot the bridge by 3 miles because I added an extra accelerant into the mix.
7:35 as the warthog falls upon the scarab destroying it in the process, player two (in the cutscene) starts wandering what the hell happened but he gets jumpscared by Johnson
Not on Legendary but Monopoli has a guide for doing by AUPing a Marine and then literally flying pelican up there (there is, of course, also the possibility of AUPing the Pelican itself) if you wanna add that for two more. I believe it's also possible to butterfly up there off a marine before triggering the scarab so that's one more method but that'd also be pretty hard on Legendary. On the original unpatched game (also from Mono) there's using lunge storage and a second player to quite literally fly from the beginning of the level to the scarab gun by having the other player load the second BSP in time for the flier to continue but sadly that's not possible on MCC (until someone mods that glitch back in).
I could never do the banshee glitch when I was little so I went back to try again last year or so to get some closure. I probably cried when I finally did it
I earned Recon through the H3 firefight over a few nights of working out how to get a good team to survive it all. It took a while, but was glad to get it.
Ah... I remember doing this back in OG H2... it was always the worst when you messed up the timing when boarding the banshee and had to do it all over again
Better performance is not your friend in trying to get the Scarab Gun the classic Banshee-in-the-tunnel way. It was way easier to hijack the banshee when loading took a bit longer like on a completely stock original Xbox. If you did a HDD upgrade or have installed an SSD + Cerbios on an OG Xbox, the loading moment is way shorter.
@@MintBlitzBack in the days I already found the load time difference palpable between playing from dvd and the stock 5400rpm hard drive versus installed to a 7200rpm hdd. Cerbios has been an awesome improvement for natively playing the classics again.
Hey Mintz. Did you know Halo 2 Project Cartographer's newest update added Splitscreen for both co-op and custom games? If you haven't then please make sure to check it out.
Have you ever talked about the alpha ring mod, which allows split screen on pc, and you can have more than 2 players on ce and 2? It works pretty well, though it can be a little jank with spawns
The first time I saw how to get the scarab gun was on G4's Cheat, along with how to get the Blind skull. Blew my mind and completely opened me up to the idea of getting out of Halo maps, and eventually other games as well
Does hijacking the banshee before the tunnel with the launch from the start actually get you to the scarab gun spawn though? Iirc there's a kill wall that blows up banshees hijacked too soon.
@MintBlitz thank you so much youre a legend, been watching you since i was a kid from probably the most unlikely place for someone to love halo, in pakistan🤍
they totally intended it with the rocket and explosive blocks! not only does it not require any technical loading zone shenanigans, but it also doesn't require any skulls, so it's probably the most accessible on any random run and the least requiring of technical knowledge.
Heres everyones reminder that the Forerunners were humans and 343i retconned the single biggest and nost poetic reveal/plot twist in any science fiction video game. On par with Darth Vader being Lukes father. And they said no we can do better
I matched you in squad battle a couple days ago. 1 flag on whatever Zanzibar is called on Halo Infinite. My friends and I were on offense first, capped almost immediately, then you and your cronies quit the game. GG 🫡
If you want more content like this leave a like so I know :)
I genuinely seem happier making fun stuff like this though, so that's a win!
Thanks MINT BLITZ keep it up halo is coming with a vengeance cantbwait to see what Pierre hintz and halo studios have in the works 💪
Bring halo mods in xbox
Man, just continue thoshalo vids. I really like your videos and personality
@MintBlitz I have recreated rocketfight & sniperfight in Halo Infinite
theres also a pressure launch you can do with a box near the scarab. thats how i did it as a kid.
It’s been awhile it may not have been a pressure launch but I know it involved moving a box to a specific place and standing on it.
@@gtothereal Yeah its practically the same as the explosive concrete block, just put the box there and stand on it.
Halo physics are cool
This is how I did it also!
yesssss putting the box by the thingy that explodes and shoot it with a rocket 😂

BY THE RINGS! AHHHHHH!
lets hope we can still do this sort of stuff when the game uses the Unreal Engine.
Halo uses Havok Physics, which has a plugin & is compatible with UE5.
The bigger issue with UE5 is its modding and map editor, they’d have to make all those from scratch as you can’t ship your game using UE5 tools for your map editor, which is why few UE5 games have modding capabilities.

@@JK_360_should feel pretty much the same, to my knowledge atleast
yes mint blitz, you can has recon
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
I love the fact that scarabs attack with the scarab gun and if done properly you can actually pick them up from the scarab its self to get the gun
How come this is the first time I'm hearing about proper Halo PC splitscreen!?! This is so cool! IT CAN EVEN DO REACH WITH 16 PLAYERS!

Indeed you can. The split screen thing is newer, but Mint might have mentioned or highlighted it a bit in an older video

Its a little crazy infinite didnt have physics like this, trick shots like this could have boosted that game loads

This is the only method that I actually managed to pull off successfully
You can become marine?😂
@@acatonkush8709 Glitch called: Arbitrary Unit Possession
@@acatonkush8709yes
Your videos give me that feeling I used to get when I first started playing and discovering Halo. Thanks man!
Cant stop imagining two random Spartans driving a warthog off a random makeshift ramp directly into some scarab dukes of hazard style.
This reminds me of all the glitches I tried out when I was a kid on Halo 1. The triple gun glitch on POA, the entire mission skip on AOTCR, leaving the Pillar of Autumn on the first mission. Not to mention being able to jump outside of the map on the Composer on Halo 4 and being able to control a mac cannon.
The ol explosive blocks, was one of the first how to videos I watched
There was another strategy using Sputnik and grenading a crate near the end of the mission. Took about 3 hours to get my Halo 2 Vista achievement.
I used sputnik and a rocket launcher to shoot near me while standing on a box lined up with some geometry on the catwalk at the end of the level and launched myself up to it, took 2 hours but it was fun every minute of it.
Edit: did not know there was a 500lb block of serious putty beside me when doing it, makes much more sense in hindsight as to why most of the time I overshot the bridge by 3 miles because I added an extra accelerant into the mix.
You are a legend, Blitz! Can't imagine myself doing any of these 😭
7:35 as the warthog falls upon the scarab destroying it in the process, player two (in the cutscene) starts wandering what the hell happened but he gets jumpscared by Johnson
The day cancer was cured, when MintBlitz took his focus, genius and energy away from Halo and applied it elsewhere. 😂
Mint blunts keeping halo alive all these years, god I love it
this would be marine hell, reliving the moment master chief wanted to get the banshee the mint blitz way
Not on Legendary but Monopoli has a guide for doing by AUPing a Marine and then literally flying pelican up there (there is, of course, also the possibility of AUPing the Pelican itself) if you wanna add that for two more.

Mint Blitz needs honorary legendary Spartan status.
I remember doing the rocket method with the box, took a few trys but it worked
this is honestly amazing
I remember guiding the banshee through the load zone on mcc, at the end of the tunnel after the bridge.
I remember getting the old halo 2 scarab gun long time ago lol.
So, what comeback are you even talking about?
I could never do the banshee glitch when I was little so I went back to try again last year or so to get some closure. I probably cried when I finally did it
It’s a bird , it’s a plane, it’s Mint Blitz!
Mint. You mentioning the fake videos from back in the day reminded me of all the rick rolled video fake outs from that time. The Horror 😫
:22 those jackal shields look so vivid
I like the idea of the explosive "vent boxes" were the original way of getting up there.
Now we need see the wraith and scorpion up there. (probably using the pelican method will be the easiest
It's amazing to me that after all this time I'm just finding out about a lot of this stuff
I earned Recon through the H3 firefight over a few nights of working out how to get a good team to survive it all. It took a while, but was glad to get it.
You are a Mad Man, Mint Blitz. I love it.
Now we know why he walks down from the back.
The halo 1 for pc flame thrower was pretty epic.
Ah... I remember doing this back in OG H2... it was always the worst when you messed up the timing when boarding the banshee and had to do it all over again
I definitely think the explosive box was put there to get to the scarab gun

that final splatter just lol ma

You forgot about taking over a marine and flying the pelican to it.
Thats one of the most fun easter eggs lol

Okay, out of all things that should be in Halo games that are on PC, split screen?
Not one of them.
Have you ever talked about the alpha ring mod, which allows split screen on pc, and you can have more than 2 players on ce and 2?
It works pretty well, though it can be a little jank with spawns
I wouldn't be surprised if the blocks were the original method too lol
Then how were you supposed to get down alive?
@xcfjdyrkdtulkgfilhu that's a good point lol maybe you weren't then? Since it's right at the end of the level?
We need to talk about MCC's BTB mode. It's been broken for months. 😬

what do you mean split screen on PC, please tell me how, is that a workshop mod? could you link it??
crazy
I've never been able to get it.
