How to glitch Halo 2   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  What is a glitch? What is Halo 2? Halo 2 is a video game that is played on the XBOX gaming console. It is a first-person shooter with beautiful landscapes and environments. In every environment there are limits and boundaries as to what you can do and where you can go. A glitch is when you find a way around these limits and boundaries. There are many glitches in Halo 2, but the one we will learn is how to get out of the environment called â€Å"Burial Mounds.†   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  In Halo 2 there are walls around every environment. To build these walls, programmers make a boundary that you cannot pass through and then they assign it a color and/or texture to make it look like a real wall. The obvious solution to getting out of an environment would be to simply find a way over these walls. That was the case in the prequel to Halo 2 called Halo, but in Halo 2 the programmers did not want gamers to get out of the environments so they built invisible walls above the visible ones so that it looks like there is just one wall, but really there are two walls stacked on top of each other. To make these invisible walls they simply make a boundary and do not assign a color to it. These invisible walls worked very well, but there was one problem with them; they did not make a complete circle around the environment. The invisible walls have two ends that meet together somewhere in the environment and leave a small â€Å"hole† between each end. Fi nding this hole and getting through it is how we will glitch Burial Mounds.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Step one is to setup the proper game. Turn your XBOX on with Halo 2 inside. When the main menu appears select the â€Å"Settings† option. A submenu will appear and you will need to select the â€Å"Game Variants† option. Once you have done this a list of game options will appear and you will scroll down the list and change these options as such: Level – Burial Mounds Game Type – Juggernaut Over shields – On Once you have done this press the back button until you are at the main menu again. Now choose the option â€Å"Multiplayer.† When you get to the multiplayer submenu you will need a partner to join the game with you because this glitch requires two players.
