Everyone loves the replay feature in Halo 3. Everyone, except probably Bungie -- especially in cases like this video. This "new vehicle" can be found on the level with the first boss battle with the Scarab. Get two people into the dumpster, tip it over, then both players need to jump at the same time and watch as the dumpster becomes airborne. You can even steer the dumpster!

Awesome glitch, now my only question: How does someone stumble upon such a crazy glitch? This does gives a whole new meaning to dumpster diving! Am I right?!

Well at least it's actually embedded on the front page. Still nice vid.

TheGamerThug

damn that shit is crazy son. I wuz thinking forge mode but then I realized u said boss battle and looked at the video. crazy glitch. at least its not glitchin like GoW

slapme7times

I always wanted a flying garbage can...

Dexter345

Oh man. Tell me we can add those dumpsters into our maps as decorations in Forge. Think of the tactical implications of a two-person flying vehicle that doesn't catch a lock from the missile pod! Better yet, stick a territory in the dumpster, do two person teams, and vie for control of the floating garbage can. Awesome.

Cheeburga

Awesome. :D

Bryan-

Funniest thing I've seen in a while. A flying steerable dumpster with room for two.

Blue Collar Heresy

What I want to know is how the hell does a glitch like that even happen? I mean really, who the hell coded the physics of the dumpster in such a way that jumping enables controlled flight?

Still funny as hell though, even if it is sloppy programming.

ShadowXOR

Honestly I hate Halo 3 but this video is fucking hilarious.

Fana7ic

Awesome. Whats the name of the song?

jiker

Fana7ic --> Focus - Hocus Pocus. Great progressive rock band from Holland.

Churchhills Dog

Just to be clear the band is focus. The song name is Hocus Pocus. I think they had one other minor hit but never matched this song in popularity

DOOM

Cool, gotta try that!

maxio098ui

that game just earned a playthrough just for that dumpster.

Holyetheline

hahaha Flying Dumpster... that's amazing.

psybunny

wow what an amazing piece of shit.good job bungie,keep the quality flowing.

another pc gamer who didnt fall for the mass consumerist mind virus faggery.

whew

nademagnet

HAHAHA! I love it. Capitalizing on the physics of a game like this is epic. I mean really, can we call that a glitch or would it be better to call it an exploit. Bungie keeps the "gravity" in their games pretty low. That's why the player and other objects in the game seem to float for just a little bit. These guys are a genius for thinking of this, if they are the ones that found it.

brad drac

My guess is that this works because bungie didn't code the player models to exert downwards force when they jump in their physics engine. This would mean most of the (virtual) energy would be transferred into the dumpster. Without the equal downward force caused by the upward propulsion, more energy would go into the roof than the floor. Hence, floatiness and japery. If that postulation is correct, you'd steer it like a rowing boat, by altering the rate at which one of the sides jump. Funky glitch though, hopefully bungie won't fix it.

mackisawesome

Go DUMPSTER GO!

s0lesurviv0r

Garbage riding has come a long way.

Stormwalker

I want a magic flying dumpster!

vexed alex

<3 Halo.

Sharpless

I think it just clinched Game Of The Year. That is seriously the most hilarious, brilliant thing that I have seen in a game in recent memory, especially when combined with that music.

Does anyone know how to rip the FLV file from the page, as in saving it to my computer? I need this.

brainderailment

What's with that retarded spider thing? is it on your side or not? I can't tell because all it does is move around.

vp360

hahaha!

s0lesurviv0r

Sharpless, look up videodownloader, a plugin for Firefox

Sharpless

VideoDownloader doesn't work with the MLG site.

CoffeeMan

Does this only work on that level? Has anyone tried on others?

Upgrayedd

lol bug

Clockwork

Very awesome

SenorCalavera

@ brad drac
That does sound good, but that doesn't quite account for why it only works with two people. Haven't tried it but I'd imagine that with one person it just does enough to tilt the thing over, but with two I guess there's enough energy to push it up. What I don't get is how it coninues forward if your only jumping up, unless part of the art of dumpster flying is jumping up and what little forward you can in the confined space. Otherwise, awesome glitch find, I'm trying it out as soon as I can

tardis mk II

Grocerspride

Haha, excellent!

I need to try that out.

And I need to look up that band--that was a cool song.

brad drac

->Calavera: I imagine one person just can't jump fast enough to counteract gravity with their mighty headbutts. As for movement, seeing as halo allows for mid air direction change, the player colliding with the wall of the dumpster while holding forward would change the its momentum, the same way as would jumping into any other moveable object.

verkon

Love it when that big ugly one knocks the dumpster away and send them flying out of it

Commodore624

i can only imagine how the conversation during this discovery was
but over best glitch so far

Fading Star

Hahahahahaha. That's awesome. That song worked well in this video.

godkow

Awww, I was hoping they'd be able to fly to safety via dumpster once they destroyed the scarab. Still, epic!!

DGX Goggles

win.

nademagnet

So a friend and I tried this today... we must have been at it for about an hour. We couldn't get it to work. We need the manual for that thing :p

BADInc

im trying that right now!

Jetsetlemming

Reminds me of prop flying in Source, except this looks easier to pull off. In source, if something's small enough that you can grab it and pick it up, you can put it on the ground, jump on top, and continiously jump and pick it up and land on it and jump off and pick it up to fly with it. I've never been able to really fly very far or high with it, but some people have managed to get it to do amazing things:

The end of that video. They speed it up, because it takes quite a while to get real height with it.

Fleet3000

lol ridiculous glitches FTW!!

Necros

Wow, so great. Wish they credited what song that was, though.

bleep

yeah the song was as cool as the glitch!

bleep

Ah here

Song = Focus - Hocus Pocus

wtfblakegtfo

wootz, gonna try this

Batthink

Bungie shouldn't think this a disadvantage. They should try putting guns on the dumpster, et voila, a cult, fan-favourite vehicle. :oD

Debugged in 2 seconds:

Colliding with the dumpster gives an impulse to the dumpster. Normally when you collide with things this happens.

However, JUMPING from the dumpster does NOT give an impulse to the dumpster, in violation of physics. This is because halo characters normally don't jump off of diving boards where jumping could cause some physical reaction.

Hence the bug.

The Real Slyguy

All people who think its an actual vehicle are retarded or worse theyre modding u dumb asses its not very hard to to in campaign mode :~I
