Miniature Spartan glitch: Difference between revisions

This glitch can be performed on the ''Halo: Reach'' level [[ONI: Sword Base]] 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.
