The '''invisible turret glitch''' is a [[glitch]] present in ''[[Halo 2]]''. It is an odd phenomenon involving the [[M247 General Purpose Machine Gun|machine gun turret]].


This is a glitch that is ''only'' in [[Halo 2]]. In multiplayer and maybe in campaign, damage a heavy turret, both types will work. Make sure you do it with an explosion, or find a way to take it out in 1 hit. Half the time, if you walk up to it, it'll say "press and hold X to operate turret", even though there is no turret. And if you do hold X, you will be firing an invisible turret. If you leave it, you will still be able to operate it, as long as you don't go too far from the turret. This glitch gives no advantage, as there is no turret to block incoming fire directed at you.
==Description==
Sometimes, when a machine gun turret is destroyed, it will not respawn. However, the turret's stand will remain operable. Players can fire such destroyed turrets; the bullets will appear to come out of thin air. However, the turret itself (which is not there) will not shield the operator from enemy fire.


In [[Halo 3]], you can destroy the [[Scorpion]] Tank's coaxial machine gun, and it will still be fully operable. This was likely done to save time.
On a side note, in ''[[Halo 3]]'', you can destroy a [[Scorpion]]'s coaxial machine gun, and it will still be fully operable. In addition, on the ''Halo 3'' level [[The Ark (level)|The Ark]], there is a destroyed LAAG-equipped Warthog with an operable, yet destroyed, machine gun turret.

The invisible turret glitch is a glitch present in Halo 2. It is an odd phenomenon involving the machine gun turret.

Description[edit]

Sometimes, when a machine gun turret is destroyed, it will not respawn. However, the turret's stand will remain operable. Players can fire such destroyed turrets; the bullets will appear to come out of thin air. However, the turret itself (which is not there) will not shield the operator from enemy fire.

On a side note, in Halo 3, you can destroy a Scorpion's coaxial machine gun, and it will still be fully operable. In addition, on the Halo 3 level The Ark, there is a destroyed LAAG-equipped Warthog with an operable, yet destroyed, machine gun turret.
