Wow, great glitch, that think is like the plasma gun on Halo 2 where you have to lure the banshee, so powerful, a helpful tip is that i crousched facing down, in front of the driver to do it and shot him in the head with a BR, worked first time.

I think Bungie fixed this a few weeks ago. I used to be able to do it, but now it just blows up, and I am still in it.

The Drop Pod Glitch is a glitch where [[Elites]]' Orbital Insertion Pods can be entered during [[Co-op]], because those pods are programmed as vehicles. The [[Master Chief]], however, cannot enter them -- only Elites and the Arbiter have the riding-in-a-drop-pod animation, so only they can enter the vehicle. (I don't know why Arby has the animation, though -- perhaps he's a modified Elite?) | ||
::So why, then, can player models, such as the Master Chief and the Arbiter, drive Anti-Air Wraiths? Well, that's quite simple. Player models can drive Wraiths, and bipeds use their Wraith animations when interacting with Anti-Air Wraiths -- that's why Brutes can drive both and Spartans can board both. By doing it this way, Bungie avoided having to create two copies of every Wraith-related animation; the only problem is the existence of this glitch. <span style="background:#AADDAA;display:inline-block;height:16px;padding-right:4px;line-height:1em;position:relative;top:-3px;-moz-border-radius:0 50% 50%"><b> | ::So why, then, can player models, such as the Master Chief and the Arbiter, drive Anti-Air Wraiths?

:Well, the ODSTs (and all player-controlled characters) need to be animated differently than typical NPCs due to differences in player control. A good example is the fact that in ''Halo 3'', playable characters crouch faster and less smoothly than Marines. (If you need an example, find one of the many "Teabagging Marine" videos on YouTube. Watch how the Marine crouches and uncrouches slower and smoother than a player would.) This is done because Marines need to crouch realistically, but players need to crouch almost instantly. (Few things would suck more than getting Beam Rifle'd in the head because the Chief couldn't crouch quickly enough.) | :Well, the ODSTs (and all player-controlled characters) need to be animated differently than typical NPCs due to differences in player control.

:The ODSTs would also have to match the Spartans' movement styles (in terms of how they run, how they strafe). They'd have to have animations that a player cannot perform (such as leaping and rolling away from an enemy grenade) removed, and animations that an NPC cannot perform (such as strafing) added. | :The ODSTs would also have to match the Spartans' movement styles (in terms of how they run, how they strafe).

:It's possible that to get these player animations, Bungie simply copied (and possibly altered) a Spartan's animations. Depending on how the animations are stored, the size difference between Spartans and ODSTs might not matter. <span style="background:#AADDAA;display:inline-block;height:16px;padding-right:4px;line-height:1em;position:relative;top:-3px;-moz-border-radius:0 50% 50%"><b> | :It's possible that to get these player animations, Bungie simply copied (and possibly altered) a Spartan's animations.

I was playing Coastal Highway solo on Normal with IWHBYD and Grunt Birthday Party on. I was driving the first gausshog you come too (in the "airlock" (for lack of a better word) on the highway), and Buck was in the turret. The first wraith I came to was a normal one, which is on the stretch of highway before the "airlock" with the Scorpion. Buck shot it multiple times, first the gunner died, then the driver died. However, the wraith did not explode and I got only the 20 points each for killing the driver and gunner. I noticed this because I only got 40 points instead of the 1000 or so I was expecting. Has anyone else had any experience similar to this?
