| The '''drop pod glitch''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]] [[glitches|glitch]] that allows players to enter an [[Orbital insertion pod|Orbital Insertion Pod]] while playing on the level ''[[Floodgate]]''. The glitch can only be performed on [[campaign#Cooperative|co-op]], as only [[Sangheili|Elites]] ([[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]], [[N’tho ‘Sraom]], and [[Usze ‘Taham]]) can enter the pods.

| Play up to Rally Point Alpha and get a checkpoint in a co-op game. Then, get anybody other than the [[John-117|Master Chief]] to press RB near each of the drop pods. Only one pod, "selected" at random, can be entered; when the player finds the right one, they will climb into the drop pod.

| | The '''Drop Pod Glitch''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]] [[glitch]] that allows players to enter an [[Orbital Insertion Pod]] while playing on the level [[Floodgate]]. The glitch can only be performed on [[co-op]], as only [[Elites]] -- [[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]], [[N’tho ‘Sraom]], and [[Usze ‘Taham]] -- can enter the pods. |

| | Play up to Rally Point Alpha and get a checkpoint in a co-op game. Then, get anybody other than the [[Master Chief]] to press RB near each of the drop pods. Only one pod, "selected" at random, can be entered; when the player finds the right one, they will climb into the drop pod. |
| It is possible that the Orbital Insertion Pod was made a vehicle to make coding the Elite reinforcements' entrance more convenient. That is, Bungie may not have wanted the Elites to attempt to fire upon the [[The Flood|Flood]] (or worse, throw grenades) while in the pods, so they simply used a mechanism that was already in the game (vehicles) to force them to remain still. Using a vehicle would have had the convenient side-effect of allowing Bungie to easily force the Elites into the riding-in-a-drop-pod pose.

| There is also the fact that using a vehicle would have been the only way to make the Elites stay still and use a custom animation.

| The reason that the Master Chief cannot enter the pods is because he lacks the required animations. It is the same reason that unmodified (but allied) [[Unggoy|Grunts]] from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)]]'s'' Campaign cannot enter [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthogs]] in modified ''[[Halo Custom Edition]]'' maps.
