'''Stunts''' are oddities that are similar in nature to [[glitches]]. Many stunts are the results of unintended and unanticipated quirks in the ''Halo'' games, and often result in the kind of bizarre phenomena that one tends to see when performing glitches. Unlike glitches, however, they are not all the results of specific ''errors''. For example, a player might be able to balance a Ghost in a manner that would be impossible in the real world; despite the physical implausibility of the act, it is not necessarily a glitch; however, it is a stunt. | '''Stunts''' are oddities that are similar in nature to [[glitches]].

:Floor balances involve balancing vehicles on the floor. Because these balances are on the floor there are only a few stunts in this category. The reason that this is so is that, with object balances you can consider a Warthog right-side-up on a pillar a stunt, but with floor balances you cannot consider a Warthog right-side-up on the ground a stunt. <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHEKGP8Yge8 '''YouTube:''' Stand Out - Part 1] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcQ9RSd0QTU Part 2]<br><div style="margin-left:2em">A video of multiple collections of floor balances on many | :Floor balances involve balancing vehicles on the floor.

There are also two unreproducible Ghost Floor Balances, the Ghost Tail Balance and the Ghost Side Balance. The Tail Balance will, most likely, never be accomplished due to the precision required for the balance.--> | ||
