<!-- If you're going to add a glitch to this list, make sure it doesn't have its own article. You can check in Category:Glitches -- type it in the search box, because I can't link to it in an HTML comment.

In the level, [[Delta Halo]], there is an excessive amount of glitches. For example, there are many cracks and errors in the invisible barriers surrounding the playable areas of the level that enable the player to skip an amount of the level, explore the distant hills, and even get under the lake, on foot, in a Ghost, or in a Warthog. | In the level, [[Delta Halo (Level)|Delta Halo]], there is an excessive amount of glitches.

''[[Halo 3]]'' has been combed over for glitches by a considerable amount of players, but [[Bungie]] has put a lot of effort into making sure that there are few, if any, in ''Halo 3''. There are a few that do exist in active gameplay though, such as the [[Mine Glitches]], driving an [[AA Wraith]], going under the playable area of [[Construct]], [[Fusion Coil]] glitches, the Elephant speed boost. Another glitch in ''Halo 3'', one that effects machinima more than gameplay, is commonly referred to as [[The Bump]]. | |||

On the other hand, Bungie cracked down on glitches during ''Halo 3''. Numerous steps were taken to prevent them, including what appears to be an algorithm that detects if items have bypassed the level boundaries. This algorithm is used to delete "lost" Forge items, kill players that exit the map, and return the Theater camera to the nearest living player if it exits the map. | On the other hand, Bungie cracked down on glitches during ''Halo 3''.
