*In the level {{Levelname|The Covenant}}, after you deactivate the third tower, go outside. There should be an allied [[Phantom]] outside, and an Elite operating the Plasma Cannon. Kill him, and jump next to the turret and quickly press RB. You should be operating it, although if you jump on the Phantom directly, you will fall off into the water below as the Phantom's turret wing itself is not solid; however, once you have manned the turret, you can jump into the Phantom after grabbing the turret by holding the control stick back while mashing the jump button. | *In the level {{Levelname|The Covenant}}, after you deactivate the third tower, go outside.

*In Halo 3 there is a faster way of walking with the Plasma Cannon than the normal speed without constantly dropping and picking up the turret, it is done by moving the left stick approximately at a 45 degree angle than the camera position; which make the player move straight and right at the same time in an angle of 45 degree but faster than walking directly straight. The player can move at the point where he wants by balancing the 45 degree of the movement by moving the camera at a point where the 45 degree angle move him straight to the place where he wants to go. It is suggestible the player use this technique when the area is free of enemies and move the turret into a normal position before the firefight starts so the player won´t be exposed and could attack quickly. | *In Halo 3 there is a faster way of walking with the Plasma Cannon than the normal speed without constantly dropping and picking up the turret, it is done by moving the left stick approximately at a 45 degree angle than the camera position; which make the player move straight and right at the same time in an angle of 45 degree but faster than walking directly straight.

* | *Interestingly enough, in the ''Halo: Reach'' Beta on Invasion, if you use explosives or fire a Spartan Laser at the Phantoms side, they will drop a plasma cannon. The weapon appears to be the ''Halo 3'' version, but Bungie.net states it's named T42 DESW (Directed Energy Support Weapon). | ||
