Hilarious Halo Clip Spotlights a Strange Elite Interaction
A Halo 3 player has shared their bizarre encounter with an Elite, while playing through the game's campaign. Halo 3's sandbox has produced a ton of hilarious moments over the years, and this one is definitely one of the most unique.
Released back in 2007, Halo 3 was one of the premier Xbox 360 exclusives back in the day. Bungie evolved the series formula further from Halo 2, producing a title that many gamers feel is the high point of the entire franchise. It was eventually re-released as part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, bringing arguably one of the best multiplayer FPS games ever to Xbox One and PC. The standard it set back in 2007 is what all modern Halo titles continue to be compared to, a compliment to its incredible legacy.

If only we had more time.»
Gamers in the thread tried to figure out the strange situation, and most jokingly agreed that in taking the Elite's rocket launcher, they had also taken away their reason to live. Over the years, there have been some hilarious Halo glitches, and this definitely joins the list.
