Talk:Crow's Nest

easy drone kills

as you may know, drones are annoying, and on legendary they pack a punch. so i made a way to kill them when you see them hardly losing any shields. first there are a few deployable covers in the hangar, make sure you save 1. then, when returning to the spot where the marine gets grabbed by a drone, kill it then run left and up to a ledge, there is a turret, stand in front of it then throw the deployable cover.jump on the turret, and go ballistic. blind fire at them. if on co-op get someone to help you aim through the deployable cover which is one-way, pointing you to them, this is a brilliant way to get points for meta-game. as you get the multi-kill medal about 4 times. if anyone has posted this before, tell me.

Location

Where near Voi is Crow's Nest? Is it near Chyulu, Kifaru, Irima, Ngulya? Those geographical areas suit the ecology. They are all forested zones in the Tsavo/Voi vicinities.

I found my answer, its none of those! Its is closer to Goi, Marungu, Ndara or Sasenyi. Complements to Google Earth.

Its difficult to say...Crows nest appears to be either south or southeast of Voi, because Mombasa is so clearly visible to the north of the player throughout most of the Tsavo highway and Storm levels. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 05:47, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Impossible! Mombasa is 114 km away West of South-West not N.--Plasmic Physics 01:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

It's located near Mwatate. I measured the Kilimanjaro-Voi-Crow's Nest angle and it pointed there. That's actually west of Voi.Mutoid Chief 15:36, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

7th...?

Correct me if im wrong, but isnt it called the '7th Column' instead of the '7 pillars' which is said on the Article under Trivia? If so could som1 fix that, because im not sure if im right. --JaBrwok 07:16, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Correct! 202.49.165.137 21:33, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I fixed it. It should read Seventh Column. XRoadToDawnX 02:31, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Bomb

Anybody know EXACTLY what kind of bomb was used to destroy the base in the level?Yuhi33 03:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Smart alec answers aside... Probably a low yield nuclear bomb seeing how nuke happy the UNSC is. It also ensures everything is destroyed. Also, the setup for the bomb looks a little too complex for a simple explosive. XRoadToDawnX 12:54, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

The "Crow's nest" level name as a Microsoft Sam reference?

Is Crow's nest named after what Microsoft Sam says when you type in crotch? if you think otherwise, here's some proof that he says "crow's nest" instead of crotch. Click here. 68.147.223.143 03:42, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Possible Rocket Launcher?

I heard that the rocket launcher can be acquired on this level, anyone know if this is true? Jubinator 02:11, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I've Never Seen it before is might not be true. Shipmaster117 07:34, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Phantom Glitch

My friend and I were playing Halo 3 on the level "Crow's Nest," when we decided to mess around with the game mechanics. We'd both heard of the wondrous glitch of "Phantom Riding" (where you can jump on a Phantom and use its plasma cannon), and we decided to play with it and see what happened. As usual, the Phantom would begin to pull out of the hangar and hang, tilted, just outside of it. Then I had an idea: if the Phantom was unable to leave the hangar fully with a player in the turret, what would happen if the player jumped out of the turret and jumped back in again?

It worked. The Phantom departed the hangar and began to fly off toward the cliffs. Upon reaching the cliffs, it immediately flipped over so that it was hanging upside down, embedded in the cliff itself. To our delight, upon pressing the right bumper it would flip over wildly. We were soon able to walk across the cliffs of Crow's Nest, looking at the battle and noticing that the Covenant Cruiser was two-dimensional.

We did the same thing on Tsavo Highway, except by using the glitch with the levitating truck to reach the top of the tunnel at the end of the level, jumping onto the cliff and following the edge of the map until we reached an opening. We managed to get to the Ark and look at the Covenant excavation. Also, by using multiple suicides we brought a Wraith and a Chopper down at the bottom of the cliff.

For proof, on my file share I have screenshots of both trips on my file share. http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/Screenshots.aspx?gamertag=WarHawk769

Enjoy!
