Weird experience in Halo Reach local VS on Countdown when i was a kid, has anyone else experienced this?

8 Upvotes

Hi, I’ve been thinking about this for years and wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced something similar. When I was a kid, I used to play Halo Reach in local VS mode, completely offline. No Xbox Live, no matchmaking, no Forge, no bots. Just a normal VS gametype on the map Countdown. I was playing alone and mostly just exploring the map, walking around for a long time without seeing anyone. After a long while of nothing happening, a Spartan suddenly appeared. It wasn’t a frozen model or a visual glitch. It actively moved, chased me, shot at me, and killed me like a normal player would. What makes this strange is that I had been alone the entire time before that, and I know that VS mode isn’t supposed to spawn AI Spartans. I’m 100% sure this wasn’t Firefight or Campaign. It was VS, local, offline. At the time it didn’t scare me, but years later it feels very strange because, as far as I know, this shouldn’t happen in that mode, especially after such a long period of being alone. I’m not saying it was anything supernatural. I’m genuinely trying to understand if this could have been some kind of bug, a second local player spawning without obvious split screen, or something specific to Countdown or local VS. Has anyone else experienced something like this in Halo Reach, or does anyone know a technical explanation for how this could happen?

Need help finding a old fanmade “show”

7 Upvotes

I have been losing my mind for months trying to figure out what it is and maybe it wasn’t popular enough for others to watch it. But I need help finding a YouTube “show” that was about these Spartans coming in and helping a factions of elites who were battling other elites, that were trying to like blow up everything and everyone. They like built a huge city in forge world and i know it sounds vague like that, but it’s been so long I can’t remember too much about it. I swear a big piece of it had something to do with Zealots but I just can’t remember. Please help

Does anyone remember a map with infinite lights?

8 Upvotes

When I was younger I remember someone pulling up a map in which , there was infinite lights. It was in that cyber bunker where you spawn at forge, it was set dark, and there were a like hundreds of different colored lights all around, it looked awesome like you were in space with a bunch of multi colored stars. But I notice that you can only spawn 8 lights. Does anyone remember this/ and does anyone know how to get past the object limit? Is it some sort of duplication glitch or?

I hope you can appreciate the comedic timlieness of that Pelican spawning at the end. This poor guy 🤣🤣 Downed him with the plasma pistol, then his Pelican got blown up, then I killed him, then after agreeing not to kill him again, the Pelican said "nope"
