Pan Cam

Template:Ratings Pan Cam is an enjoyable feature 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. It's completely allowed. Read the following instructions if you want to learn this fun mode.


Instructions For Pan Cam In Campaign Maps

If you already have Pan Cam on, then just start a campaign match. Otherwise, follow steps 1 to 3 above.

  1. Find an easy way to kill yourself that will get your body out of the barriers. Falling off a cliff seems to be the easiest.
  2. Go to theater. Watch the video, and wait until your body dies or leaves the map, e.g. falls through the ground.
  3. Then pause, and press Y to check if your body is gone.
  4. Enjoy exploring the levels!

Note: Not all levels can be used for Pan Cam.
