Although the player is looking at the ground, others will see their head looking forward with their arms and weapons pointed at the ground. Generally, using an [[CE:Pistol|Pistol]] or a [[CE:Plasma Pistol|Plasma Pistol]] resulted in a more relaxed effect; using a [[CE:Needler|Needler]] or an [[CE:Assault Rifle|Assault Rifle]] tended to bend the left arm inwards. | ||

After holding the combination together for three seconds, a player will find that their weapon has disappeared off of their screen; the weapon is lowered and visible to other players.

Unlike previous games, when the player alert carries while holding a detached turret, the camera angle will shift a bit and the Spartan will also appear to be slightly more relaxed. It is also possible to use alert carry in the campaign. | Unlike previous games, when the player alert carries while holding a detached turret, the camera angle will shift a bit and the Spartan will also appear to be slightly more relaxed.

*Alert carry in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' is actually a glitch rather than a feature. The creators of ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' exploited this glitch for their machinima. Due to the popularity of the webseries, Bungie implemented an actual alert carry feature in ''Halo 2'' solely for machinima. | *Alert carry in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' is actually a glitch rather than a feature.

*In ''Halo 3'', by executing this trick in Forge while Edit Mode, you can create a permanent, lasting effect. This way, the effect will last until you die. Also, if you man a turret or enter a vehicle and then get out, your weapon will appear, but it will be misplaced (this effect is most notable with the Brute Shot). | *In ''Halo 3'', by executing this trick in Forge while Edit Mode, you can create a permanent, lasting effect.

*A tip to ''Halo 3'' machinima makers; when you want to view someone lowering their weapon, the most commonly known, and probably the easiest way to do this, is to simply reverse the footage of them raising it. However, the button combination can be performed in any order. If you're talented enough, you can "crouch" while running, which negates its effect, and hold down ( | *A tip to ''Halo 3'' machinima makers; when you want to view someone lowering their weapon, the most commonly known, and probably the easiest way to do this, is to simply reverse the footage of them raising it. However, the button combination can be performed in any order. If you're talented enough, you can "crouch" while running, which negates its effect, and hold down (A) after you have jumped. If you hold these down while puppeteering your character, and complete the combo, your character will lower their weapon while neither crouching nor jumping, giving it a smoother look. It is tricky to master though, and some find the reverse-footage method more convenient. This trick is not very effective for Elites in general, and is only really visible when the player does not move. Running will cause the weapon to appear (to other players) to lift back up again, although to the player it will appear as if the weapon is still lowered. Another, simpler method is simply to turn off the ability to crouch in a custom game. | ||
*During an alert carry, when a player enters a vehicle and exits, the player will see in his [[HUD]] that the weapon is frozen at the highest point of being drawn and the player does not appear to breathe as during holding a weapon off of cease fire. However, it will disappear if the player swaps or switches weapons, fires his weapon, or throws a grenade. | *During an alert carry, when a player enters a vehicle and exits, the player will see in his [[HUD]] that the weapon is frozen at the highest point of being drawn and the player does not appear to breathe as during holding a weapon off of cease fire.
