This glitch can be done on [[Quarantine Zone (level)]]. Several methods can be used to witness this glitch, the first being to simply walk into the [[Index Chamber]] normally and stay on the far left of the wall. You will pass architectural outcroppings to your left, and several small structures in the middle of the area to your right. Slowly advance until you reach the area just before the 'Human' gondola entrance, after passing several lifeless [[Elite Combat Forms]]. Note that you should still be relatively close to the wall separating the actual chamber area from the area you are currently in. Activate your zoom, preferably the default zoom, as the lack of a reticule makes it easier to see. You should see at least one SMG floating in midair under an architectural outcropping similar to one you passed beneath on your way over. Do to the rendering limitations of ''Halo 2'', the SMGs can only be seen while zoomed in, as they will not be rendered when zoomed out (you are too far away). Moving closer will cause the SMGs to disappear. | |||
Another method requires the [[Sputnik skull]]. Proceed through the level like you normally would, until you reach the [[Gondola]]. At the end of the ride, get off and walk to the right until you reach the wall. Grenade jump on the wall and jump off at the other side. Now you should be in front of the [[Gondola]] [[Sergeant Johnson]] and [[Miranda]] used, but you have not yet entered the Index Chamber. Head towards the [[Index]], but before you go through the small corridor where the cutscene starts, there will be two floating [[SMG]]s shooting at empty space. You can pick the SMGs up, and they will keep firing; you can be wounded by the bullets. They have 60 bullets each in them. Even if you drop them they will keep firing. | |||
Much like the [[floating Assault Rifles]] glitch from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', this glitch is actually intended, though the fact that the player is able to see them was not. The SMGs were left floating to imply that some Marines survived the Gondola ride and were in the process of fending off the Flood. Had [[Bungie]] elected to use Marines wielding the SMGs instead of leaving them in midair, the AI characteristics would have caused the Marines to move around and communicate, thus alerting the player to their presence. The fact that the SMGs float adds to the mystery of the level. | |||
