Easter Eggs:

Submitted by: Nelson (A.K.A. - UncleBen)
Blind Mode
At the beginning of Outskirts jump on top of the light on top of the door with
a crouch jump, then jump to the left platform. Turn to your left and go down
the long dark corridor and pick up the skull; it will say blind and your screen
will flash black for a while. In this mode you can not see your weapon, body,
shields, ammo, or radar.
To get rid of this feature use the following method:
----------------------------------------------------
1. Turn off your XBOX or Save and Quit.
2. Go to Campaign and select level and choose Cairo Station.
3. Skip the cinematics and then Save and Quit.
4. Go Outskirt and your hud is back.
"Blue Screen of Death" in Zanzibar:
-----------------------------------
Submitted by: Nelson (A.K.A. - UncleBen)
In the multiplayer map Zanzibar, there should be a computer on the upper level on
the defense side that opens up the main gate into the base. After you activate this,
the screen goes blue with the infamous BSOD.
Iron Mode:
----------
Submitted by: Nelson (A.K.A. - UncleBen)
On the last Master Chief Level, on Legendary Difficulty, when you enter the final
Gravity Lift, look up. A skull will pass through you extemely quickly so you must
start holding "X" a bit before you actually pass it to grab hold of it. Once you
grab the Iron Skull, "Iron Mode" will be activated.
Envy Mode:
----------
Submitted by: Nelson (A.K.A. - UncleBen)
On the level "Delta Halo" on Legendary Difficulty, Progress until you reach the area
during the "Push through the covenant held ruins" where you have to clear a Landing
Zone for the Pelican to drop weapons. I beleive you will know you are in the right
area when cortana says "there pouring out of the center building". Anyway that area
has Plasma turrets along its borders.
A little bit after the left side turret you will see the outline of a door in a wall,
but the door has a solid rock slab in it and a rock in front of it. Jump on the rock
then jump to the ledge above the door then jump on the ledge to the left. Now jump onto
the building with the sealed door using grenades. Atop the building you will find two
dancing elites and the "Envy Skull". Pick up the envy skull and you will be able to use
Active Camoflage like the Arbiter.
Assassins Mode:
---------------
Submitted by: Nelson (A.K.A. - UncleBen)
A skull similar to the one that activates blind mode can be found if you Start on "regret".
After the first lift ride (before the first underwater elevator), grenade jump from the
front awning of the lift to the ledge in front of you (the one with two turrets). Grenade
jump AGAIN onto the next ledge. Make your way to the back of the building. On Easy, you'll
only find the skull. On Legendary, however, 2 invisible Elites carrying swords just shake
their heads wildly, ignoring you completely.
Grunts Birthday Party Mode:
---------------------------
Submitted by: Nelson (A.K.A. - UncleBen)
In the level Arbiter on Legendary. Once you get to the first banshee section, fly
immediately straight down all the way to the bottom of the map. In one of the cracks
where the large cylinders connect to the station. There will be a circle of grunts
dancing around a skull. When you pick up the skull; it will say Grunt Birthday Party
on the screen. Now when you kill a enemy with a projectile weapon, they will blow up
like a plasma grenade was stuck to them. To get rid of this feature use the same method
as the blind mode.
Posters at the Old Mambassa Crash landing *after Cairo*:
--------------------------------------------------------
Submitted by: Nelson (A.K.A. - UncleBen)
After you crash land on Old Mambassa, you can see posters all around with the Master Chief
from the demo and some grunt posters.
Glitches
Extra Ammo with Dual-Wieldable Weapons:
---------------------------------------
Submitted by: Nelson (A.K.A. - UncleBen)
First, have 2 dual-wieldable weapons (a Needler and an SMG for example), but don't have
them out at the same time. The Needler being the one you want extra ammo with, have the
SMG out and find another Needler to dual wield with it. Then, find yet another Needler
and trade that with your SMG. You'll have 3 Needlers, and have 3x the ammo.
Give your squadmates better weapons:
------------------------------------
Submitted by: Nelson (A.K.A. - UncleBen)
Once you have almost used up your sniper rifle, beam rifle, or rocket launcher (with 1
shot left ), trade with your squadmate. Once they have that weapon, they have limitless
ammo for it and can help you out immensely with the more powerful weapons. There are two
points to note: if you try and trade your weapon back from them, it will still have the
same amount of ammo that it had when you gave it to them and the energy sword cannot be
traded with human squadmates.
Skip tough Brute battle before the end boss:
--------------------------------------------
Submitted by: Nelson (A.K.A. - UncleBen)
When you are flying around in the Banshee during the final level when you are giving
support to your "ally". You can skip directly to the final boss sequence if you are
still in the Banshee after the door gets blown open. Fly to the right of the control
centre building and aim towards the bottom right and if you fly close enough you should
get a white screen indicating that you have started the cutscene. When it's over you will
be at the final boss without fighting your way to him.
Secrets
Beat Tautarus Easily:
---------------------
Submitted by: Nelson (A.K.A. - UncleBen)
When you first start the fight, make sure Tautarus' attention is on another NPC and
not you. Grab the energy sword from one of the bodies lying around and wait for his
back to face you. When he does, dash behind his back and rapidly tap R, It will hurt
him and not allow him to react and attack you. About 30 seconds of this kills him.
Inverted or Normal control:
---------------------------
Submitted by: Nelson (A.K.A. - UncleBen)
When you first start the game and the Marine has you look at the lights it's
really testing what your preference is, inverted or default. When the red light
turns on, no matter what direction you hold on the stick, it will always go to
the light. The game automatically records what you naturally choose. If you do a
combination of both, the marine then goes in depth and eventually asks you what
to set it as.

FLAMING BABY CEREMONY:
----------------------
Submitted by: Mij
When I first discovered the cheat I crapped my pants three times cause it was so
funny(my basement is disgusting now). Activate blind mode in the outskirts on
legendary. Go through the level killing everything with the skull only the skull.
Then when you get to the part in the big city kill the marines not the covenant
and don't let the covenant kill any marines you have to kill them all. Then go
back where you found the skull there will be a grunt there he will say" I took
this guys suit and now he is naked but anyways here is his suit. It will say on
the screen hold x to get suit it is Batman's suit (sweet). Then jump through the
glass ceiling in the middle on top floor of the building. When you land there
will be a grunt taking a goat on a unicycle back to the top where you fell through
the goat will explode shooting rockets everywhere. Jump out in front of a rocket
and get hit but because you are wearing the Batman outfit it won't kill you. Now
you can fly and when you shoot your gun babies comes out. Congratulations you can
give birth to babies anytime now. Time to crap your pants!!!!! :)

GO ONTOP OF THE MOUNTAIN TOPS
in Delta Halo when you start and see the 3 grunts above the 3 grunts you should
see a plasma cannon and you go up there by going underneth the cannon and you
should see two ramps go up those and then when you get up there then you go strait
on to that ramp then jump two times strait on the ramp then turn left and keep going
strait then you would be ontop of the mountain tops

thanks for the help guys ^_^
Famine Skull:
-------------
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.
Giant Soccer Ball:
------------------
It's on the level "Metropolis" on any difficulty I do believe. Use the same method
to get a Banshee through the tunnels as you would if you were getting the Scarab
Gun. (See the corresponding cheat for more details)
Now take your Banshee away from that half-dome thing and fly through the level
using the same path you would as if you were walking. Once you get to the highway
where the Warthogs are fighting the Ghosts, keep flying straight toward the
half-demolished building. Fly into it and go to the bottom level. Behold!
A giant soccer ball! It's great fun to mess around with, especially if you
have the Scarab gun.
Grunts Birthday Party Mode:
---------------------------
In the level Arbiter on Legendary. Once you get to the first banshee section,
fly immediately straight down all the way to the bottom of the map. In one of
the cracks where the large cylinders connect to the station. There will be a
circle of grunts dancing around a skull. When you pick up the skull; it will
say Grunt Birthday Party on the screen. Now when you kill a enemy with a headshot,
they will blow up like a plasma grenade was stuck to them.
To get rid of this feature use the same method as the blind mode.
Iron Mode:
----------
On the last Master Chief Level, on Legendary Difficulty, when you enter the final
Gravity Lift, look up. A skull will pass through you extemely quickly so you must
start holding X a bit before you actually pass it to grab hold of it. Once you
grab the Iron Skull, Iron Mode will be activated. This skull causes you to go
back to the last checkpoint when you die in co-op mode.
Messages on the bomb:
---------------------
If you play multiplayer and hide with the bomb, then you probably have noticed
this already. If you stand somewhere long enough, the mastercheif will start to
toss the bomb up and catch it. Eventually he will examine the bomb, and you can
read what it says on the bottom. One message is "goodbye" and another is "xoxoxoxo".
Midship bunny:
--------------
On the level Midship, go to the top where the sword spawns. Now walk to the
doorway which doesnt have a big roof. Look up and you should see an outline
of a bunny!
Mythic Mode:
------------
In "Sacred Icon" there is a semi outdoor area which has the same type of area
right next to it. There is a large sentinal in front of each one. Go past this
area and down the piston and you'll be in a vary dark and dank flood infested
area. There's a stack of 6 or 7 boxes as you enter the room. Use them to jump
up to the landing above. There are a handful of alcoves on your right hand side.
The skull is in the third alcove, floating above a dead human flood.
Posters at the Old Mambassa Crash landing *after Cairo*
After you crash land on Old Mambassa, you can see posters all around with the
Master Chief from the demo and some grunt posters.
Rex-In outskirts:
-----------------
First start going torwards the blind skull way but when you go up there take a
left instead of a right and jump on the ledge, then crouch jump on top of
another ledge (which would be right above the wreckage) then jump on the ledge
across the wreckage then continue the pathway intill you reach the area with
the sword sticking out of the ground (It's inside a broken rooftop), right next
to it is a rock with the word REX written on it.
Sign on Zanzibar:
-----------------
On the beach on Zanzibar, you will see signs that say NO SWIMMING. Well, go
to your xbox dashboard, go to the Settings, Clock, and change every number you
can to 7 , then pop Halo 2 back into your xbox and load it up. WARNING: Do not
sign into XBoxLive, it resets your clock. Now go to Split-Screen and start a
game on Zanzibar. Go to the beach and look at the sign, it will mention something
is missing, and there is a bloody dog's head.
Sputnik Mode:
-------------
At the start of "Quarantine Zone" on Legendary difficulty turn directly around,
and you should see a tunnel. Head down the tunnel and go straight until you exit
it. Go straight across the open area, and you'll come across a broken pipe tunnel
on your right. Straight in front of you is a small ledge running across the wall,
above the green pit. Carefully get onto that small ledge and walk all the way to
the end of the ledge to find the Sputnik skull. In this mode explosion force and
melee force is greater.
Face of Chris:
--------------
On the map Containment, get a sniper rifle and go anywhere where you can see the
part of the Halo in the sky that's closest to the Sun Base (the base with orange-
yellow glowing buildings). Zoom in with the sniper on the part of the halo that's
just below where it begins to get dark. In the clouds you should be able to see
the face of Chris Carney (grinning happily), one of Bungie's developers.
Thunderstorm Mode:
------------------
On the level "Cario Station" on legendary, make your way to the "Priority Shift"
checkpoint. Progress until the room with mounted plasma turrets, right after the
armory with the Elites. Clear out this room, and get on the raised area with the
plasma turret that is on the side of the wall where the window curves. Look for
two parallel beams on the ledge above. Climb up the supports for these beams and
crouch jump up onto the upper ledge, then onto the beams themselves. Walk in the
direction you came from and there will be a small ledge sticking out to the left,
jump on it and pick up the Thunderstorm Skull from inside the trash container.
This turns all Covenants into their spec ops rank.
Unknown Skull:
--------------
At the begining "Armory" wait in the room until the Sarge starts telling you to
get into the elevator. You MUST wait for him to say "Would it help if I said
please?" When he says this, get into the elevator and go down to the tram.
Get on the tram and face towards the INSIDE of the building. Press up against
the glass doors towards the inside of the building. You should hold 'X' down,
and you should pick up the skull. It's on a stack of green crates, near the end
of the tram ride.
Weird Window Reflections on Headlong:
-------------------------------------
In Headlong, grab a banshee and fly to the part of the level with water.
On the same side as the Warthogs spawn, almost at the end of the level itself,
there are some windows. Look closely at them, they aren't reflecting the other
side of the level, but showing concept art for Halo 2. (A would-be human city
at night)
Zanibar Computer Screen:
------------------------
On Zanzibar, after you open the gate the computer screen (used to open the gate)
changes. When you zoom in on the words you can read how to fix your computer and
some other gags
Hold 3 Pistols!:
----------------
First Go to a level that you can get three pistols on, such as outskirts.
Go pick up a pistol. Then swith to your second weapon and pick up dual weapon,
such as two smg's. Go to another pistol and press x to pick it up.
Now you have a pistol in you secondary and first slots. Now you can go pick up a
third pistol and set it to your left hand(Press Y to do this). You can get up to
144 AMMO! with three 96 ammo with the two and just 49 with one.
Get an INVINCIBLE Banshee on last level!:
-----------------------------------------
Submited By: JBK
On the last level complete up to the part where johnson's scarab is about to
blast open the door, once he has blasted the door DO NOT GO IN!, instead wait
for about 10 secs, then a friend will bring you a banshee, he will drop it off
under the scarab, this banshee is invincible!!!, you can blow it up as much as
you want it will look beaten but it will still work, believe me ive done it
heaps of times!!
