[@andyfriederichsen]

The shields the jackals use would be fun to have as a weapon you can get from jackals you kill.

[@ReSpark141]

i remember having an infinite energy sword back in halo 2, essentially you just drain the battery and if the next mission allows whatever weapons you had previously then theres you might notice that it still activated despite the game saying otherwise

[@BloodKitten_]

small technical note, player spartan and player elites fire from the camera, in anniversery graphics it seem like the weapon is position on the floor, so if you would untick the first from camera, the shots would likely come from the floor where the weapon is located in. the same would go for AI, they all do not fire from camera, but if they were, the shots would not originate from the weapon they hold.

[@impairedmaps]

Great video, does the energy sword actually replace itself with the useless varient? You could test this by draining all the energy, saving the game and checking (in assembly i assume?) if your player is now holding the useless energy sword

[@vinsbadluckleader651]

Back in the days of the original Halo 2, about the « unarmed » weapon on The Armory, when you look down at your shadow, you can see that the Chief is in a position like he’s holding a rifle, but nothing in the hands. You also can see that when you lower your weapon ( Down arrow on controller ). Sorry if English isn’t really good, I’m French ^^’

[@PokemonOnlineSupport]

One of your videos were reccomended to me, I'm not a big halo person, but I like watching stuff like this.

[@1001stevie]

Whenever master Chief uses the hunter gun thing it looks like he has just gone super-sayin

[@tannerskatrud7504]

The reason the Hunter cannon comes out of his forehead is because that is where the camera is and probably the default point that projectiles, at least some of them, are shot out of. Otherwise you would be able to have someone in your crosshairs on screen but the gun could be blocked and you just shoot a wall or a low barrier. You can do it with the detachable turrets in other Halo games, and some more realistic games do it on purpose as a feature.

[@Wbfuhn]

I remember getting a glitched energy sword where if you drained your sword and then held onto it in your hand, then went through a cinematic the sword would look depleted but function as a charged energy sword, basically turning into a invisible energy sword that never looses its charge. Basically turning into the invisible light saber. Star Wars lore fans will know what I'm talking about.

[@Ostr0]

That's the Rex Sword

[@Freidenker2805]

Cant imagine the ton of videos youll do with infinite dude Hope for some sick easter eggs lmao

[@DasUTuberYahoo]

I have a couple of ideas for videos. #1 - Halo (any of the games) - Can you force enemies to run out of ammo? I know that Marines seem to have an infinite amount of ammo, but I've also noticed that enemy weapons can have a different amount of leftover ammo depending on how soon you kill them. #2 - Titanfall 2 - Can you save the militia test subjects in "Survive the Dome Simulation?"

[@derekmensch3601]

No enemies can't run out. The ammunition left is entirely randomized

[@forgottenrobotz5636]

Great video now see if them cars from halo 2 left by civilians can be driven with some modding.

[@otminealnamer1385]

I would love to see the jackal shield modded well into campaign as an item you can pick up. It looks like it could offer some pretty fun gameplay of taking less damage at the cost of doing less damage, given the dual-wield penalty on weapons would still apply. Would be pretty nifty to just sort of tank one's way through tough segments. SPV3 adds it, but it's kind of pointless since you can only punch with it. It'd be a whole different ballpark with the ability to fire a weapon with it(or even cooler, go full medieval and wield it with an energy sword.)

stuff like holding the jackel shield shows the creative routes the new games could've taken instead of making all the weapons less interesting and making the alien weapons more like human weapons. they could've made new covenant weapons, human weapons, and made some of the older ones usable like this. it would've added alot while still being true to the franchise.
