The '''Drop Pod Glitch''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]] [[glitch]] that allows players to enter an [[Orbital Insertion Pod]] while playing on the level [[Floodgate]]. The glitch can only be performed on [[co-op]], as only [[Elites]] -- [[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]], [[N’tho ‘Sraom]], and [[Usze ‘Taham]] -- can enter the pods. | The '''Drop Pod Glitch''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]] [[glitch]] that allows players to enter an [[Orbital Insertion Pod]] while playing on the level [[Floodgate]].

It is possible that the Orbital Insertion Pod was made a [[vehicle]] to make coding the Elite reinforcements' entrance more convenient. That is, Bungie may not have wanted the Elites to attempt to fire upon the [[Flood]] (or worse, throw grenades) while in the pods, so they simply used a mechanism that was already in the game -- vehicles -- to force them to remain still. Using a vehicle would have had the convenient side-effect of allowing Bungie to easily force the Elites into the riding-in-a-drop-pod pose. | It is possible that the Orbital Insertion Pod was made a [[vehicle]] to make coding the Elite reinforcements' entrance more convenient.
