An actual ghost in halo 3?

"A low textured Sentinel Beam (that normally stays at the spires but will rarely follow the player inside the map) is supposedly in control of when the Mines spawn. To best see this, drive a Hornet through the minefield, staying about 10 feet off the ground. When you see an orange-yellow laser beam, quit and go to Theater. In theater, follow the laser. You will see the that the laser originates from the spire furthest away from you. The other end has been reported to set off mines, however, this does not always seem to be the case"

That is pretty cool lol
I wish bungie would just explain all of them. Its pretty annoying when they refuse to explain stuff that is as small as grenades spawning.
Most companies would say, "Yeah, we're glad you found that, its a little easter egg we put in". But bungie.... silent... =\

Sorry, but that sounds very silly, I understand what you mean now, but it took me a while to work it out. lulz.

thats not a ghost my friend, that always happens, its to stop you going out the map. this ghost thing has happened to me before, but instead i had a tank spawn above me. ouch

I remember vaguely reading this somewhere so dont shoot me if Im wrong but:


Did you know that SOME of the super bounces were put in on purpose to give bungie an advantage when playing online?

Um I think some of these things may come from little Forge glitches with character animation...

For example if you hit the Grenade button then turn into the Monitor before the grenade is actually thrown, when you turn back into a Player the grenade will fly out of your body as if you just threw it (but no animation).

The same could be said about the bubble shields although I have never tried it myself.

Chances are if you wait long enough in Monitor, the game will get fed up and just spawn the active grenade/bubble shield instead of holding its data (slowing down the game by taking up memory).

I'm just guessing though, I could be completely wrong... That's just what I have observed.

Jebus has a very very good point...

throwing grenades at mancannons the editing the grenades (spawn or delete some) can cause this to happen sometimes. Its a lag related glitch and don't think it happens on local.

I tried this in forge and it worked, I threw a grenade and went into Monitor mode and about one minute later I hear an explosion. It also worked with a bubble shield and every other equipment. Though I doubt that everyone who has experienced a "ghost" did this every time that it happened to them.

This happened to my friend while he was round at my house. We were building bases, and he walked onto his base, a something, not me, threw a plasma grenade right next to him! And we know that it wasn't him because it came from the right of him!

why do people get so obsessive about this?

its just glitches. on bungie there was this guy that made a thread and was like "this is my ghost hunting blog" and he spent hours on sandtrap and other maps "ghost hunting". seriously its just all glitches. and even if it isn't, bungie wouldnt tell us, so don't give them the satisfaction of having another person wondering in vain. just forget about it.
