Editing Miniature Spartan glitch

{{Status|Gameplay}}

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>

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.

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.

#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.

#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.  

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.
