Overload glitch (Halo 3): Difference between revisions

Line 50:

Overloading tends to disable the "built-in" special features present on several maps. Sandtrap's [[Elephant]]s will vanish. Lifts, such as the air lift on [[Blackout (Level)|Blackout]], will stop functioning. [[Epitaph (Level)|Epitaph]]'s floating platform will fall. Most notably, the [[The Guardians]]' scripted appearances (on Sandtrap, Sandbox, and [[Snowbound (Level)|Snowbound]]) will stop functioning.

However, overloading a map may cause the game to use a lot of memory ~~(since there are so many~~ objects that need to be ~~processed and~~ kept track of). The game's stability can decrease; [[lag]] is a likely result, and the game may ~~even~~ crash.

However, overloading a map may cause the game to use a lot of memory due to the excessive objects that need to be kept track of. The game's stability can decrease; [[lag]] is a likely result due to the increased CPU and GPU power needed to process and render the environment. The game may also crash in the worst cases.
