link directly to this cheat2 Faces in the Halo of Containment.

This isn't a cheat and it's incredibly easy to do. All you do is go to the very center of the map with the rocket launcher ammo. It's easier to see with either a sniper rifle or beam rifle. Zoom up to the point of the Halo where it's half dark, half light on either side of the Halo because it on both sides. And you should see a smiling face. I read on another site that it's the face of Chris Carney, one of Bungies developers.

GRUNTS-Recommended weapons-Needler, Plasma Rifle, Fuel Rod Cannon.Restrictions-Rocket Launcher, Sword, Sniper, SMG, Battle Rifle, Carbine, Brute Shots, Shotgun.
NOTE-When having Elites on your team NEVER, I said NEVER give them all swords. The Elites will try to kill Sentinels. When the Sentinels die, they explode, causing damage to your Elites.
NOTE 2-With Marines, NEVER give them all Rocket Launchers. Some Marines have bad aim, and will absent-mindly shoot at walls hoping to kill enemies. I had to revert to the last checkpoint a lot of times in the Highway tunnel.

To get a Banshee inside the room where you fight Tartarus first get a Banshee. After the Scarab destroys the front door fly inside and go straight up as soon as you enter. It's easy to navigate to the next door, get out of your Banshee and make the door open, then get back in your Banshee and fly through. Once the Brutes come through the next door you can kill them or fly past them, but it is important that you are not in your Banshee when the cut scene starts to make sure it is there when you walk back.

link directly to this cheatBest Weapon Combos Maps

The best weapons on the map to have are: the shotgun/ needler/ energy sword/ sniper rifle depending on your preferences. Shotgun and energy sword are good for behind the back attacks, because they have a one-hit kill when you're close enough. The needler is a mid-range weapon, not good for hand to hand, but the sniper rifle is the best for a head shot. A good arsenal for the job makes it easier. I always carry a shotgun or an energy because it's a small arena and when you're on split screen it's difficult to kill with a rocket launcher.

The plain map, I can't remember the name, but this is a terrible map to play slayer on, more suited to capture the flag. Anyway, there is a rocket launcher, that is good for taking down the scorpion, banshee and the other vehicles. Dual SMG's are perfect for taking down any capture the flag enemies who want your flag, but so is the Magnum/SMG combo. A little tip for the capture the flag, get the banshee to protect your base as well as a player on foot, if the banshee goes down, you run to you base. The Dual SMG combo works well on any map, but this is a cause for concern, because you lack firepower for vehicles. Stick with a single SMG and the rocket launcher if you can get it, otherwise stock up on frag grenades.

If you have any questions about dual weapons, just e-mail me and I promise to send a reply as quick as I can.

link directly to this cheatBig Crazy Tank Glitch!!

Ok, go to the level Delta Halo on any difficulty. Play until you reach the tank. Hop in and drive back the way you came. When you get to the part where there are the two sniper jackals (probably dead) go to the little and big rocks in your tank. Ok, drive right at them without slowing down or anything. You will drive straight up them. Now drive onto the big hillside. you will not slide downward. You can travel around the WHOLE lake,up the mountains, down the hills, and get a good view of the dam thats off in the distance. I didnt travel the whole way because it takes a while but i went about three quarters of it. If you brought a sniper or something this is a very good time to use it. Try to spot any covenant. One thing to do is not kill all the covenant before you get the tank. Leave them to be sniped.


It looks like there is an X on the dam made of rust or something. Is this just rust or could it be something else?

link directly to this cheatBreak a certan Boundry on Zanzibar

Amount of people needed: 3-4. Ok this is very hard and dificult one your first attempt but it gets easier with every try. Everyone must be equiped with a energysword and a RL (rocket Luancher) for this and you need overshields. First you have someone go into the building and they must have at least one plasma grenade. Once in the building have that person go to the roof right in front of where you find the RL (but don't get it make sure your equiped with it and the sword before the match starts.)Then turn to the right and get on the miniature roof looking thing. Then you throw the Plasma Grenade on it and jump before it explodes to luanch you onto the roof. (Make sure you have good timing for this.)
Ok once on the roof go to the area with the three plasma grenades are at on the little platform leading into the building(but don't fall off.) Stand by the edge the mountin and the roof(but be on the mountin part), this is where the sword comes in and is the tricky part. Have everyone go to that spot and jump until the thing that alows you to lunge by pressing the R trigger turns red then pull it and press the X button at the same time so you'll do the lunge cancel. (But do it one at a time and leave one person remaining on the ground, P.S. the if you do the Lunge cancel correctly it won't cause damage)Ok Now comes the Hardest part. Once the last person dose the lunge cancel have someone jump up after him/her and do another lunge cancel once he/she dose it pull out your RL and shoot him/her and have them keep moving forward at the same time and they should go over the boundrys once over get up on the ledge that is behind the boundrys and go to the boundry marker that won't let you go further and throw a grenade on the ground and jump before it explodes then lunge cancel at the person on the ledge and you should go over the boundrys as well. (and again you must have good timeing and you must do this one at a time) Keep doing this until everyone is over and then you'll have some fun exploring the forbiden areas. but there are certan boundrys you can't breack by doing this trick. You can also get up on other roofs in that area by doing the lunge cancel but you don't have to use any grenades or shoot to get up in those areas.
(One last peace of advice) You won't breack the boundrys one your first try or get up on the roof to breack them but you'll gain more knoledge and get better at doing it also.
Feel free to email me if you have any questins of any concerns about this cheat. And by all means have fun with this cheat and killing everyone who hasn't read this cheat yet with a sniper rifle.
P.S. Sorry this cheat is so long but it is worth it once you do it

Go to the first level on !!!EASY!!! play through the level all the way until you reach the part where the drones come up and then the elites and grunts on the big elevator come up after. get a battle rifle. Run and jump all the way down to the bottom of the big elevator right away. There are no covenant. make sure you dont kill any drones when you jump off as they will trigger the elites and grunts to run out from the door at the other end of the elevator. Go to that door and look at the very edges of the door. There is a bit of wall before it goes to a 90 degree angle. Put your back AGAINST the wall, crouch, and shoot drones. Count how many you kill. Once FOUR!!! FOUURR!! FOUR!!! are dead, QUICKLY turn and run into the door as it opens. Jump around and stuff on the inside and DONOT!!! shoot any covenant. They will of course, shoot at you, so keep jumping for a few seconds then keep trying to walk backwards against the door that you DIDNT come in through. Dont shoot ANY COVENANT!! NOT EVEN A SINGLE BULLET!!. when you go through the door behind you turn around. Your shield is probably low and there are ranger elites ahead shooting, and the covies behind you shooting. When looking away from the door, turn right and run around the corner. Run up the ramp A LITTLE BIT so that you cant see the Ranger Elites. The Covenant in the room will sometimes run out and run around, but that barely ever happens. Once your shield recharges, kill the ranger elites and look at the two elites in the room. They are breathing although there is no air. Make sure this is on EASY DIFFICULTY!! as you may even die in the room with the covies on easy.

For this you will need a beam rifle (there's one at the site). In Delta Halo, when you get to the platform that has a bridge leading to the building where the next level begins (the one where you get attacked by drones), kill all enemies attacking you,and then get your beam rifle out. Look at the surrounding structures with your scope. There should be covenant roaming around. Kill all Covenant in your sight and move on to the next level. There will be less enemies. Hope this makes life easier.

Ok this tip is kinda hard. First On the Level Metropolis you are on the bridge. Make sure you destroy every Marine you have. When you get to the Middle of the Bridge there are two marines (sniper and Rocket launcher). Kill them both and then there should be some banshees coming. Get to the very end of the bridge and when a banshee comes Jack it. Once youve Jacken that Banshee There should be a covenant ship where you are at. To spot this ship look on the left side of the bridge when your coming from the begining. As you can see the ship has a covenant vehicle under it. Wait a while till the ship leaves. When the ship is going straight you think its gonna leave. Its not its gotta drop the covenant vehicle off. So this is what you do: When it stops to drop the vehicle off get on top of the ship, get out of the banshee and land on the ship. Be careful not fall off. And dont shoot any banshees that follow you. Trust me your gonna need them. Now the Ship should take you to where you are not supposed to go on the other side of the map. Once you get there your gonna think that level is crazy! When you travel In the ship MAKE SURE YOU DONT GO ALLLLLL THE WAY TILL the ship dissappears!!!. Trust me its like a 1000 mile walk to get back where you were. When your still on the ship and your over the tunnel get off asap. Then some banshees should still be around. Quickly travel near the edge on top of the tunnel entrance note:top not bottom and when a banshee arrives jack it and when you do all of a sudden YOUR FREAKIN FLYING ACROSS THE BRIDGE LIKE 1000 MPH ROFL. Let me Guess your gonna say well why do all those steps when i can just simply jack a banshee and fly on top of the tunnel entrance. Thing is, you can't!

Once you get to the part where you get a Banshee and escort the Scarab to blow open the door, get a Banshee and snap off the two wings. Fly the Banshee through the door and under the first obsticle. The second one you might have to turn the Banshee around a bit to get through but its possible. The third one is a pillar that is leaning on the other side of the wall. Struggle through that one and goto the door with the big Brute battle. Get off your Banshee to open the door. Get back in and either kill the Brutes or skip pass them (if you know how to do that). You must enter the chamber WITHOUT the Banshee, leave it in the room. Once it brings you to the start of the battle, go back to the room that you fought the Brutes in. The banshee should still be there and (if it hasn't been destroyed) you can pilot it. Fly it back to the Tartarus fight and there you have it! I have tested this about 6-7 times and it has worked for me. Makes Tartarus a piece of cake.

I have taken the tank into the next level with the water fall from here. But this should be done with two players as you need someone to activate the levels as they do not activate if you skip over checkpoints. You can also get up top by jumping on top of the pelican when they drop off men and arms but this is tricky.

On the Oracle level, you will come to a point where you have to cut the cable holding up the station to force the Hereitic leader out of his room. Once you cut the final cable, you will here a creaking noise. The station is about to fall. Make sure you are at the higher level of the room and crouch-jump right before the top tears off. If you were at the top of your jump when the station starts falling, you will fall up forever... and die!

After you get off of the slowly decending elevator in "The Oracle", you will come to a hallway where you see a handful of dead bodies. Continue into the next room, and you will be on the second floor of a room that has windows. When you enter this room, look to the right, and find the third pane of glass. It should be to the right of a wall that has some flood guts splattered on it. Shoot out this window, and either window directly across the room. If you look below you will see a platform that has four tall posts. On the far side of the room there is a column that is right in between the two windows, on the far side of the room. Turn on your active camo, and jump to the center platform. Jump on either of the posts on the far side of the platform and jump to the column between the windows. Make another jump through the window you shot out and make a left. Walk all the way to the end and you'll find four flood elites convulsing on the floor, with the Famine skull in the middle of them. When you have this skull all weapons will have less ammo.

When you start, go down to where you get your first Battle Rifle. To your immediate right,you will see a bin with a sailor hat/cap thing on it. Melee attack the bin the cap is on for a while. Eventually, the cap will be floating. The cap is by no means fragile, and you can shoot at it and walk into it and it will not fall down. Try walking right into it and looking down. If you spin around, it will look like you are inside it. Additionally, take a look at the bin it was on. The bin contains human turrets.

# Foundation multi-player map

Successfully complete single player mode on any difficulty setting to unlock the Foundation multi-player map. Note: There is a glitch that prevents some people from unlocking the map as it was originally intended. The way it has been done successfully is as follows: Successfully complete single player mode on any difficulty setting. Create a new profile. Begin a co-op game on the last level with the newly-created profile with the second player. When you reach a section where you fly a Banshee, the new profile must perform a barrel roll and a loop-the-loop. Finish the campaign and the new profile can access the Foundation map when hosting split-screen, System Link, or Xbox Live games. Alternately, if you have Xbox Live, go to the Microsoft Content download menu. Then, download all recently updated content. Go to a game menu. Go to change the options, then change the map. It should be at the very bottom.

link directly to this cheatGet a Scarab Gun

This is done on the level Metropolis and is easiest when done on Co-op. When you start out, cross the bridge. Take out every enemy and even your marines. When you're near the end, Cortana will say something about a "Welcome Party". Three Banshees and a few ghosts will appear. Take them all out. Then 2 Wraiths and 2 Banshees will appear. Take out both Wraiths, and only one Banshee. Have Player 1 continue through the tunnel, but have Player 2 stay outside and distract the Banshee. Once Player 1 reaches the area with the circular opening (a Jackal with a Beam rifle is present), take out the Jackal and head back to where Player 2 is.

Here is the hard part. Get the Banshee to follow both players into the tunnel. Do not board it yet! The first few times it will come at you and fly back out, but stay where you are. It should come back after you. (If it doesn't, go back outside and try again). Eventually, you'll have to get it over two road blocks. Once it is past the second one, have both players stand near the entrance of the room where Player 1 took out the Jackal. It should fly at you and get stuck. Shoot off both of its wings so it can fit thru. Have Player 1 walk slowly in front of the Banshee, making it follow him. Player 2 should be behind it, gently pushing it. Take it to the left and get ready to board it. As soon as you hit the checkpoint, the Elite in the Banshee will disappear. You only have about a second to get in before the Banshee also disappears. Both players should press X quickly. If done right, one of the players will be driving the Banshee!

Take it outside and directly up. Very high in the sky are two skyscrapers with two bridges connecting them. In the middle of the bridge closest to you, there is something that looks like a plasma rifle. It's actually a Scarab gun! It has infinite ammo, so have fun. Just don't aim at the ground.....

You don't need to, but I would recommend killing them. Then to the left of the entrance of the room, there's a bunch of debris of a bridge or something. Climb up onto it. Heres another thing that might come in handy, there are 2 carbines and 2 plasma grenades if you go through the rubble. Now this can be a little tricky. Go to a rock that landed kind-of diagonal and look up. There should be a narrow ledge. Jump up and to the right a little bit and you should be up on the roof. Makes a great sniping place for the enemy's that just came off of the Gondola.

This is a little glitch i found while exploring on Containment. This can only be done in the red base of containment. Have spectres on and get in one. Goto where they spawn. Back up a little but have a view of the ramp (the one that goes up to the area with the brute shot). Make sure you see the ramp is like this: < or going upwards. Boost at full speed straight towards the wall and let the spectre hit the edge of the ramp just enough to tip it forward a little bit. If done correctly, you should be able to drive up the wall! Nudge your way towards the left until you pass the invisible boundaries. Congratulations, you just made it on top on Containment! From here, you have a view of the whole map and you can even drive on top of the red base. Be sure that you have grenades or something that you can commit suicide with because the boundaries keep you from going back down. Good luck!

Then, you lunge cancel ( Press "R" and "X" at the same time with the sword) and when in the air (if you did the lunge right) and keep pressing forwoard. Once done right, youll be over the boundries. Now to get player two over, theres a little ledge, you need to get on it and run to the end near the invisable wall, and have the other guy lunge at you.

If you have played multiplayer you will have figured out by now that you can no longer drive with the flag, or now even the bomb. However you can ride shotgun in the warthog. But since the implementation of vehicle hijacking you can be on vehicles while they are moving.

INFO
*Works on system link, split screen, and XBox Live.

**Best done with a friend on the same box if you have no headset, or even if you do but do not want to give away what you are doing.

***Same box team is best so you do not have to deal with lag.

HOW TO DO IT

Grab a ghost or a banshee. One of you will be the driver and the other will be the passenger. First get the driver in and ready to go. Next let the passenger hop on top of you. If you’re in the ghost the best place I seem to find is right on top of the driver. If you’re in the banshee it is in the little dent on the top, you can also do it on the wing while moving sideways to stay on. Start moving slowly but you can gradually speed up and go at top speed. It takes some practice to get it down great. If you get it down good enough to try the boost modes all the passenger has to do is run on top of it to keep up. Turning with the ghost will be very hard at all times so take the turns slow.

This can probably be done by ghosts too.

Getting a spectre on the blue base is kinda hard. First, look at the front of the base (the red base behind you) and find the little walkway sticking out on the right. Go to it and REVERSE up it. The treads will go off the walkway. Jump out onto the ground. Now, get a Spectre and boost ramp the Scorpion. It may take a few trys. Once up there, you can blast up ppl with the mounted gun. This was done on the right side of the building (i dont remember if theres a ramp like that on the other side. If so, thatll work too)
