Panoramic camera mode

Pan Cam is an enjoyable thing that Bungie added to Halo 3. It is used by many players as a way to leave any map. This can ONLY be done in Theater mode.

Instructions for Pan Cam in regular maps:

1. You must go to Custom Games, and level. MAKE SURE YOUR MATCH IS ON LOCAL ONLY!

2. This can be tricky, but you must hold these buttons one after the other in this exact order: LB + RB + LS + A + UP [D-PAD] Toggle Show Coordinates / Camera Mode. A bunch of strange numbers should come up on your screen. This is normal. You have turned coordinates on.

3. Next, you must press this order of buttons to turn on Pan Cam: [HOLD LS + RS] Press Left on D-Pad Toggle Pan-Cam / Normal while Show Coordinates is enabled. It should say Pan-Cam after all the numbers.

4. Next, go to forge. Find a simple way to kill yourself. It's recommended that you put a bunch of fusion coils around and throw a grenade and then quickly turn into the monitor as the grenade explodes the coils.

5. End game, and go straight to theater. Pan-Cam should still be on as long as you're on still on local. Watch your character until it dies. As soon as the coils explode and your monitor explodes, you press pause. Make sure you can't go back to your character by pressing the Y button. You're then free!

6. Pressing up on the D-Pad makes you go faster, and down on the D-Pad makes you go slower. The faster you go, the better chance you have of leaving the invisible walls in the programming. This is completely allowed; many people use this. Your speed is the number on the the right (next to [pan-cam])

Enjoy leaving maps!

Instructions for Pan Cam in campaign maps:

1. If you already have Pan Cam on, then just start a campaign match.

2. Find an easy way to kill yourself. For example, falling off a cliff.

3. Go to theater. Watch the video, and wait until your body dies or leaves the map. E.G, falls through the ground.

4. Check if your body is gone by pressing Y.

5. Enjoy exploring the levels!

6. Please note, not all levels can be used for Pan Cam.
