The '''District Loading [[Glitch]]''' allows players to access partially loaded districts on [[Mombasa Streets]] in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. The main use of this glitch is entering the normally inaccessible areas of the half-loaded district. | |||
==Instructions== | |||
== | |||
Start at the district you want to glitch. Enter another district by opening and going through a large gate. Now locate an entrance to a third district. Get close to the gate leading there, but do not go into the illuminated gateway as this will trigger a "Loading... done", fully unloading the first district. At some point near the gate, the first district will partially unload and the third one will partially load.<ref>http://subculturelifestyle.com/forum/index.php?topic=116.msg512#msg512</ref> | Start at the district you want to glitch.

The doors' disappearance can be used to access normally closed-off areas. For example, the doors leading to a normally inaccessible plaza in the northeast corner of district 8 (just south of Tayari Plaza) are open. Because viewing an Engineer-created glyph in the nearby district requires the player to cross the partial load trigger, some wrongly think that viewing the glyph makes the doors disappear.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4UrE8O8PMw</ref> A larger area accessible with this glitch is the southernmost tip of the map.

There's also an equivalent room in the Kikowani Station district, allowing access to the unmapped area there. | ||
