Hilarious new Halo Combat Evolved glitch lets players drive the iconic Halo Ring itself

A new Halo Combat Evolved glitch has been discovered after 24 years, allowing players to become the iconic Halo Ring itself. After players discovered ways to become Covenant enemies without any mods, those same minds have discovered a way to take control of the game’s ringworld.

Become the Halo Ring in Combat Evolved

As shared on YouTube, the new Halo Combat Evolved glitch can be performed on both the Original Xbox version of the game as well as the Master Chief Collection version on PC and modern Xbox consoles.

Revealed by Halo content creator Porle 117, the newly discovered glitch requires two players to manipulate loading zones within the game and then fire 32,640 Bullets which is the equivalent of 272 entire Assault Rifle magazines each.

Afterwards, players need to shoot an additional 7 shots, trigger a cutscene and watch the entire cutscene. Once all of this is done, player one should spawn in the vastness of space, controlling the Halo Ring itself.

Just like every other entity in Halo Combat Evolved, it turns out the Halo Ring itself is a vehicle entity that can be controlled. As the ring, players can spin and move very, very slowly, and do pretty much nothing else. However, they may feel an intense power unlike any other.

All in all, it takes about half an hour to perform the glitch to become the Halo ring, and there’s not much to do once you do. It’s also not known if this glitch can be performed in other areas of the game, such as the final cutscene where Master Chief and Cortana escape in the Broadsword.
