Seceret Room On The Map SandBox In Forge

Delete all of the buildings and blocks. In the very center of the map, there is a long onrage and red line.

In the center of the line there is a black square. Jump into the square and let your self fall all the way down. When you hit the ground, you will be in a room!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy!!! Me and my friend was messing around with the sandbox map and just happened to stumble into the hole and we fell into the room. There are two ways to exit the room. WAY 1: die in the room. WAY 2: Turn into the edit ball and fly back up through the hole. THANK YOU FOR READING!!!!!!! ENJOY!!!!!!


Flip the elaphant

go on forge then go on the map sandbox and go to a elaphant (a big slow tank) and buy a load of fusion coils and put them all in line at one side of the tank then shoot the fusion coils

HAPPY FLIPPING!!


Firefight Start Weapons + Skull Splash Damage

Start weapons are silenced sub machine gun and silenced pistol

The smg sucks! If you find a plasma rifle with less ammo take it!!!

The pistol is the best weapon to kill the millions of grunts. This is linked to the skull splash damage. Before you start the level turn on the "grunt headshot explosion" secondary skull. Each headshot you get with the silenced pistol on the grunts will explode and kill other grunts, jackels and wound other larger enemys such as brutes and hunters

P.s. NEVER use the pistol against the larger enemies! It doesnt do anything cause of the armour

CHAOX

Secret Doors

When you use VISR mode as the Rookie use your weapon to look for secret doorways. Accessible doors will turn the amber outlines of objects in front of them blue. These doors are worth looking for as many of them hide data terminals.

Flying Hunter!!

Okay I found this out last night. Here are the stuff you need:

1. A Hunter(Of course)

2. A sticky grenade, any kind

3. Wound the Hunter realy bad.

So first look for a Hunter than once you find him and have stick grenades wound him. Next when he is firing his cannon throw a stick at him at the right time and when he blows up he fires his cannon at the ground and starts to fly. SWEET.

Thanks for reading.

Spartan showdown

First have a plasma grenade, then throw it at a fello odst teammate , he will eventually say this " this is Spartah!! ". And he will pull out a Spartan laser and shoot you but he will say this after your dead " this is madness" and eventually cry . You can actually see the tears . So good hunting.


Secret entrance

This will only work on the multie player level the sand box so were I started go to edit mode delete evry thing there and try to delete every floor bord with y if you delete the right one it will disapere and there will be a ditch go down and there is a secret entrance


Easter Egg

On the level 'Uplift Reserve' on the area after the ridge covered with Shades you will find a giant covenant platform. Behind this platform is a little cover spot with a few marines a warthog and a injured marine talking to another marine. I won't spoil it for those who haven't heard it so go look for youself.


How to fly an elephant

Here is the stuff your going to need:

elephant(of course)

16 fushion coil

8 plasma batteries

First you go to forge then you go to the elephant and place the 16 fushion coil and 8 plasma baterries on the front of the lower level of the elephant.

Then you put 2 banshee in the back (for more fire power). then you go to fushion coils summary and put minimum something on 16 and plasma batteries on 8 minimum. finally get a guass warthog and place it anywhere to where you can see the batteries and coil then keep shooting and don't stop until it starts to fly. (i've had it fly for about an hour. it looks cool.)


Secret place Litterely !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go onto halo 3 odst go on sandbox then go into monitor go to the blue or red little ball in middle delete that then look down delete the top piece then go into the hole then you will see a sqaure delete that then go down to the bottom and there it is I put a whole bunch of things around the entrance then weapons and anything useful inside just to make sure if anyone figured it out you would be prepared


MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System

The classic Assault Rifle of the Halo series. Classic, yet always being redone to change damage and fire. Honestly, I can't remember seeing too many of these throughout the campaign, though it is a good weapon to have. Will take out a good few enemies before needing to be reloaded. Damage is decent.

Advantages: Has a high rate of fire and ammo is plentiful. Added with the high rate of fire, it can be used to deadly advantages on your side. With the somewhat large clip, it can be used to spray down a few enemies before needing to be reloaded, even though reloading doesn't take up all that much time.

Disadvantages: It lacks the penetration power to produce headshots, and can only be used to wear down the health of enemies. Its zoom feature is a bit off, ..


AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun

More commonly known as the Machine Gun Turret. It can be found in a few select locations throughout the game, along with being mounted on some vehicles as a form of defense. It has a high rate of fire and can inflict serious damage if aimed correctly. Use it to your advantage if you can.

Advantages: It can deal heavy damage and destroy teams of enemies with it's high rate of fire. It is somewhat common throughout the game, and can be torn away from a stand to use as a portable weapon.

Disadvantages: It has a limited amount of ammo when torn away from it's stand and slows down any character using it. If left in stationary form, there is a high chance of any operator getting flanked.

Suggestions: Use on vehicle whenever someone else can..


M6C/SOCOM

Some may know this as the silenced pistol that comes as a sidearm to most ODST. A great weapon to have at the start of any mission, and widely used throughout the game. Stuck somewhere between offensive and defensive on weapon type, it can easily be used to pick off a pack of Grunts or Brutes from a distance. Use it.

Advantages: It has a silencer system on the front of it, meaning each shot won't ring out and draw a lot of attention. It has a high rate of fire and a somewhat large clip (12 rounds). The x4 scope on it can also help along side it's increased accuracy to kill from a distance.

Disadvantages: It has a low to medium damage rating and can still be somewhat inaccurate in it's standard non zoomed mode. It also fails to produce much of a result ..


Glitch on Sandbox

Go to Sandbox. Then, go to edit mode(ball form). You will find a floating teleporter. Go inside it. Find out and explore. Smile
