Halo 1 - The Mystery Of The Headless Spartan Explained

[@funkyreapercat5280]

Unrelated, but i wonder in which level Bungie intended the Engineers to appear in Halo CE. I guess we'll never know.

[@Omega4Productions]

The Truth and Reconciliation was one for sure. There’s a squad set up on the bridge that was meant for engineers called “control_engineers”

[@SakisTheDrifter]

Silent Cartographer is one

[@cajunhimself]

I think it's sad that the history of video games is not preserved Better. I think in the future people will want to know more

[@funkyreapercat5280]

@@Omega4Productions Thank you!

[@Bi9Clapper]

Silent cartographer was where they were initially discovered i believe

[@BMART1N7]

Side Note: Noble Six is also headless in the ending cutsnece of Halo Reach.

[@Spawn3X5]

Obviously the headless horseman become a spartan

[@WildmanTrading]

He was a spartan 1 that was so successful he was mixed in with the Spartan 2's.

[@ATP2555ify]

The other cryopods having Spartans looks creepy

[@ReachSlayer343]

when the cut scene ends you could also turn around really quickly and jump back in the cryo pod and crouch and have it close on you and then you can see the body as well, but then you will be trapped inside and can't continue the mission

[@WeaponsComplex]

TBH I thought that's what he was going to refer to.....

[@BlueFlameStudiosOfficial]

That’s where he got the SECOND HELMET FROM!

[@connorh122]

Hey General Heed, while on halo1 you should definitely do another one of your exploring behind lock door videos, missions like 343guilty spark, two betrayals and assault on the control room have several locked doors.

[@DocOct]

C’mon General, you know that the chief always likes to have an extra set of his armor on ice, lol!

[@FabledThunder]

I remember doing this glitch in the anniversary version

[@Pixel-tm1ji]

I love this dude, i have been subscribed for 6 years now. Love ya man

[@brenton-_-9588]

Another great video, always keep it up man!

[@Bi9Clapper]

I thought this was just a Mcc glitch, does this actually happen on OG?

[@EdotJdotOriginal]

Maybe - I grew up with the CEA 360 version where this same thing occurs. Halopedia doesn't give me a direct answer and I don't have time at the moment to look into it, but my assumption is that this was introduced with the Gearbox PC ports if it is not on the original Xbox version - although I do recall people claiming it occurs on the Xbox version, but just mildly more finicky (this would mean the threshold to see the headless spartan is less resistant on PC if this is accurate).

[@VlexisXII]

@@EdotJdotOriginal I never saw it on the Gearbox PC port. Never saw it until I played it on MCC. Possible I missed it, but I also played a lot of the PC port.

[@SnickersTS]

How did they make the armour invisible from outside the cryopod, and why did they make a white version instead of reusing the same cryopod model?

[@SakisTheDrifter]

But why is it visible only from certain angles? If its part of the vehicle it must always be visible isnt it?Also why did they make a second version with the white armor?Where is it used?

[@redeye4516]

It's probably intentional so you don't turn around and see it in normal gameplay. The intention was probably so that you'd only normally see it while in the pod. As for the white armor, I dunno. Perhaps they didn't feel like making empty cryopod models when the headless Spartan model was already there, and they may be white because you need to manually input a color value for them, which they only would've done for the ones the player uses. But this is just speculation on my part.

[@SakisTheDrifter]

Its a good point@@redeye4516

[@clonewhopunchedadroid]

Is this in the original game? Or is it in MCC?

[@JIGgameoverSAW]

both :)

[@funkyreapercat5280]

Both if i'm not mistaken

[@mrchiefbs]

Super cool trick by the game devs

[@Leftysrev3nge]

If it's part of the scenery, why does it flicker in and out of view depending on your angle or proximity?

[@WarwickkkT101]

Lets find something more obvious to explain

[@guitar_jero]

You sound more relaxed and secure.

[@RayGun4200]

0:42 I wonder if thats leftovers from a 4 player campaign but was scrapped due to limitations or something like that cause why add those to other cyrotubes? It being headless supports my theory tho

[@ATP2555ify]

Looks creepy AF

[@jakethecarsandreactorvideo9409]

Would like to see what would happen if you killed thom during the tutorial

[@inductivegrunt94]

Really nice video showing off a cool developer trick.

[@Baratako0]

Huh... I thought this was already known. Good video nonetheless

[@IUseScripts]

Idk why is this a “mystery”

[@WillemDafuq69]

Hey I like your videos but you made me poop my pants I'm not sure what caused it. I think it was your voice, it might be a brown note. When u say "used for" at 1:11 it made me have diarrhea twice. 😮

[@vipersamx6741]

First haha
