Butterflying is still possible in campaign; however it's usefulness has been diminished overall. Players can no longer input jumps during melee lunges and as such cannot lift enemies on their own. If the enemy's AI is still active then the player is also beholden to where the AI moves; this is contrast to ''Halo 2'' where once the enemy is being moved in the air it will not do anything other than fire at the player if armed. Generally butterflying in campaign will allow players to "ride" the enemy character, particularly with those that can fly. For example speed runners butterfly on the back of [[Yanme'e|drone]] on the level [[Crow's Nest]] during it's scripted path as this is faster than simply walking. Likewise it is somewhat possible to ride a [[Aggressor Sentinel|sentinel]] around some of the pits on [[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ2totAdDoI</ref>

Also referred to sometimes as "Butterflying" or "Butterfly Jumping," this glitch similarly allows two players to vertically gain height. Unlike the tricks listed in this article however, the Elevator Glitch is performed without melee cancels and in fact does not even require that the players be on opposite teams. It is also entirely limited to corners in the map but can be performed identically in both campaign and multiplayer.
