The '''Miniature Spartan Glitch''' is a glitch that can be performed in the ''[[Halo 4]]'' [[campaign]] level [[Composer (level)|Composer]]. It causes [[John-117|The Master Chief]] to shrink to a small size.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFrjS825tD4 '''Youtube''' ''Halo 4: Tiny Spartan (on Composer) Tutorial'']</ref>


The '''miniature Spartan glitch''' is a glitch that can be performed in [[campaign]]s of ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' and ''[[Halo 4]]''. It causes the player model ([[SPARTAN-B312]] or [[John-117]]) to shrink to a small size.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFrjS825tD4 '''Youtube''' ''Halo 4: Tiny Spartan (on Composer) Tutorial'']</ref>
==Method==
This glitch is performed in the [[composer]] room when you fight against the [[Covenant remnant|Covenant]]. On a platform in the middle of the room to the left is a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]]. Quickly run to this, and kill the [[Sangheili|Elite]] who runs to man it. Fly it over to the building near the hanger opening, lift 03, that you normally would exit when you are done. Park it near the door, and clear out the enemies.  


== Method ==
When the first wave of banshees comes, make your way back to your own banshee. After having cleared the banshee, get into your own and wait by the door. Another wave of banshees will follow, but do not destroy any of these. In a short while dialogue between Master Chief and [[Cortana]] will be spoken, and, if you are waiting near the door, a loadzone will be triggered. After this occures, fly out to intercept the banshees as they are leaving the map. Just as they are about to leave, board one of them.
This glitch can be performed on the ''Halo: Reach'' levels [[ONI: Sword Base]] and [[The Package (animated short)|The Package]] and ''Halo 4'' level [[Composer (level)|Composer]]. It takes advantage of a de-spawn trick used in the level design of both games. To create the illusion of spacecraft flying rapidly off into the distance, without running into draw distance issues, the developers shrank the spacecraft as they fly away. This makes it seem as if the spacecraft is farther off in the distance than it actually is, allowing it to de-spawn inconspicuously. This mechanism can be used to shrink the player model: if a player is riding as a passenger in or is boarding as spacecraft while it is shrinking, they will shrink along with it. The player will then be left as a miniature Spartan, in some cases able to pilot a miniature spacecraft, although all player weapons will remain their normal size. This glitch uses the same operation which allows a full-sized Spartan to pilot a miniature [[Type-31 Seraph]] in the [[Pilotable Seraph|pilotable Seraph glitch]]. Its effects are also similar to those of ''Halo 4''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Miniature Covenant glitch]], the mechanics of which are unknown.


===Tutorial - ONI: Sword Base===
As you board it, the banshee will begin to shrink. If you timed it properly, you will shrink along with it. You will remain inside the map, and will be able to pilot the shrunken banshee.

At least three players are needed, so an Internet connection and online play are also required. This glitch also requires the Banshee Easter egg, so steps for that are also included.
When you dismount, you will find that you have shrunken. As a result, you will find that your point of view has changed to be lower to the ground. Your weapons, however, will remain thier normal size. You can still operate vehicles and turrets.


#Clear the Farragut Station of all enemies. Spare at least one Ghost!
==Trivia==
#Use the Ghost to push a crate out of the way in a flooded and roofed area (i.e. inside one of the stations). Have one player stay here and be ready to activate a switch.
This glitch is similar to a glitch in [[Spartan Ops]] that causes enemies to shrink.
#Just after getting the Scorpion tank, have one player turn left instead of right and press a switch on the other side of the rock wall, in the water.
==Source==
#A switch will appear for the player back at Farragut Station. The player there should immediately press it.
<references/>
#Players except for the one in the Scorpion should meet up at the station and wait near the newly spawned Banshees.
#The player in the Scorpion should destroy the two Tyrants, alternating between shooting one and the other. Once they're destroyed, said player should kill themself.
#Immediately get in a Banshee and fly to Sword Base. (Invisible walls are disabled now, so you should be able to pursue them onto a wall and over a textureless platform.
#Get out of the Banshee and try to get in a Falcon before it shrinks.
#Enjoy your hilariously tiny size!

This glitch is performed in the [[composer]] room when you fight against the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]]. On a platform in the middle of the room to the left{{clarify|Unclear wording.}} is a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]]. Quickly run to this, and kill the [[Sangheili|Elite]] who runs to man it. Fly it over to the building near the hangar opening, lift 03, that you normally would exit when you are done. Park it near the door, and clear out the enemies.
{{Glitches}}
 
When the first wave of Banshees comes, make your way back to your parked Banshee. Remain on foot and destroy all enemy Banshees. Then, enter your Banshee and wait by the door. Another wave of enemies Banshees will follow; do not destroy any of these. In a short while, dialogue (between Master Chief and [[Cortana]]) will play, and if you are waiting near the door, a loading point will be triggered. Once this occurs, fly out to intercept the Banshees as they are leaving the map. Just as they are about to leave, dismount your Banshee and board one of the enemy Banshees.
 
As you board the enemy Banshee, it will begin to shrink. If you timed it{{clarify|Timed what?}} properly, you will shrink along with it. You will remain inside the map, and will be able to pilot the shrunken Banshee.
 
When you dismount, you will find that your player model has also shrunk. Your point of view will be lower to the ground, but your weapons will remain their normal size. The size change won't prevent you from performing normal actions (e.g. operating turrets).
