The Elite Helmet glitch is a glitch involving the helmets of various Elite corpses in Halo 3.

At the end of the level, Floodgate, when entering the crashed Flood ship, the player will find several dead Elites corpses lying around. Some of them have a strange helmet that appears to be a mixture of an Assault helmet and a Combat helmet.

It appears that the game had attempted to render both helmets on the head of the Elite, and thus, both appear, overlapping one another. This is further proven by it having one Assault and one Combat shoulder.
