Of Banshees, and Exploring
A year and a half ago, Frogblast showed us how to use Object Overload to grab a banshee on the Maw. He did it in Co-op mode, because OO is WAAAAY easier that way. However, last October, Mat Noguchi, Tools programmer over at Bungie, explained enough about Object Overload that the route was clear (though far from easy) to do this trick in Single-player mode. Last week, Juggertrout posted a movie (made by some friends) showing this grab in single player - but it was just the grab. There was no explanation of how it was done, or any video footage of the setup. Ducain, in his inimitable style, has not only rectified this situation, he's offered (obliquely) to pass out a checkpointed save to anyone who mails him a memory card and a stamped self-addressed envelope. The movie in that post is 10.5 mb, 3:50 long, in WMP9 format. If anyone needs a a QuickTime version, let me know. It's wonderful to see the dedication that Halo can STILL elicit in its fans.
