On some levels in the [[Halo Trilogy|''Halo'' trilogy]], it is possible for a player to climb or jump on top of a [[Pelican]] and ride the ship to its destination when it's not required. -- '''Riding a Pelican'''. The glitch has been seen, so far, in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', ''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Halo 3]]'', and ''[[Halo: Reach]]. | On some levels in the [[Halo Trilogy|''Halo'' trilogy]], it is possible for a player to climb or jump on top of a [[Pelican]] and ride the ship to its destination when it's not required. -- '''Riding a Pelican'''.

You will be on a street with a couple of [[Kig-yar|Jackal]] snipers, two {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}}s, and a couple of [[Type-32 Ghost]]s. Another Wraith and two [[Phantoms]] will come momentarily, followed by two [[Pelicans]]. | ||
Go to the far staircase between the streets; this is the one closer to the building the Marines were in. This is the point where the Pelican will drop off some more Marines for you. You need to be the top of this staircase before the Pelican begins its descent. As soon as the Marines have exited the Pelican, jump toward the passenger bay and hold the X button. Aim for the bottom of the Pelican, right near the back entrance. An easier way to do this is to park a vehicle where the Marines are dropped off, climb on it, and wait for the Pelican. This should allow you to climb in the cargo bay instead of boarding. | Go to the far staircase between the streets; this is the one closer to the building the Marines were in.

Another example is on the level [[Delta Halo]], where you continue as normal until the Pelican comes in and drops off the [[Warthog]]. Get to where the [[Shade]] turret on a small hill was, and then wait for the Pelican to come to a halt. Then [[Explosive jumping|Explosive Jump]] up to the Pelican. It will fly around with you on its back for a little while, and then accelerate, causing you to fall off of it and to your death. | Another example is on the level [[Delta Halo]], where you continue as normal until the Pelican comes in and drops off the [[Warthog]].

You can jump atop the temple by [[crouch jumping]] and grenade jumping; from there, you can jump normally onto the Pelican. It will fly off into a hill and disappear. You will be very far from where you are supposed to be, and you may need to revert to the last checkpoint as if you tried to return to your previous position without reverting, you would most likely fail. | ||
