Stay in the Pelican

Staying in the Pelican is a trick that can be achieved on the campaign levels Assault on the Control Room and 343 Guilty Spark in Halo: Combat Evolved.

Walkthrough

 * 1) When the cutscene starts to play, hold down the throw grenade button, and when the cinematic ends, you will throw a grenade and stay in the Pelican.
 * 2) Or on Assault on the Control Room you can use an alternative in which as soon as you exit the Pelican, quickly turn around and hold the X (action button) or E (for PC) and you will get back in the Pelican.
 * 3) The Pelican will then fly away on it's scripted path, with you still inside
 * 4) You will eventually die when you strike the kill wall. If you are on the mission Assault on the control room, you will survive.
