Fun fact: the first controller I didn’t show can never be used again because of this trick. I used to use it for my Xbox and then when I tried to connect it to my PC, found out the connect button no longer works. …and the wire port is broken. So I can’t even use it for my Xbox again, even though it works perfectly fine otherwise 😂
WTF? i’ve played this game since the 2nd grade ( i’m 23 now ). i can’t tell you how many hours i have on this game, i never knew this area existed holy shit.
I'm about to be 28 fam and just experienced the exact same shit while watching this...If I knew about this when halo 3 dropped it would have eaten days of my childhood lmao
I've been playing this game since 2008 and despite me and my sisters basically scouring the Halo games when we play, we NEVER SAW THIS ROOM ONCE. I have something to tell them when I go visit my parents! Massive props for sticking it out, even going as far as to buy another controller!
@@TheShiltShow Definitely. Two younger sisters. A lot of our multiplayer time was just messing around, driving about and blowing things up, as they were terrible at the games for many years. Co-op was a blast though. Occasionally they would try it together without me and complain at each other. When Forge came about in Halo 3, EVERYTHING changed. It was so much fun. Good times.
I have a modding/game dev background and the only reason I could think that they may use this room is to test things like physics and collision, perhaps test out some enemies. If you notice the area you can jump on is just high enough for the chief to jump up so this appears to be some kind of testing area that was left in the game. Unless it is simply a cut story area or minor building.
@@stevenbenson9976 I imagine its more a room that was going to be used for an encounter but the encounter was cut. I don't see why you would build a testing room inside of a preexisting level. Why not create an entirely new scenario with a purpose built testing room? I could be wrong it just seems odd to have a fully decorated room for nothing. My reasoning is Halo 2 had some dev scenarios and done squad testing on coagulation, not newmombasa or spacestation. I could be wrong.
Im so thankful that we have content creators like you who still show curiosity, dedication, and appreciation to halo games and bring new discoveries decades later
Man I never knew about this room. It might be a room they were planning on using but then couldn’t find a place for it. Or maybe it was practice for building the environment.
I'm guessing that you might have gone in there to fight a Brute Chieftain and rescue Marines. And judging by how the window is fragile, Brutes with Jump Packs would drop in from above while you were in there or they'd be coming in from that area, complete with a Phantom above. Because that looks like a good place to put in a boss arena.
I remember Termacious Trickocity did this years ago (5? Safe estimate lolol) but I don't think they explored the details in the video iirc, so this was really cool! Maybe it was just a test sandbox for the AI or something and they ran out of time so they closed it off. Cool stuff!
as a halo 3 veteran i didnt know this existed, and as a now game dev, i feel like this room was probably going to be accessible but wasnt since it probably made people confused where to go or get lost somehow
my guess is looking at the door placement, at one point they were probably going to have it as an alternate path, then they went "eh fuck it" and just blocked it off with doors.
amazing video, still decades on we still find new stuff on these OG games, you need more subs and views for your vids they are great vids and the effort you put in is ridiculous
"Xbox controllers always junk" Man, I'm sorry that happened to you. I've literally never had a problem with Microsoft ones, only 3rd party ones. Only exception was stick drift on a 20 year old OG Xbox controller I got 2nd hand
The placement of the gym makes that barracks area make a lot more sense now, strange how they didn't at least allow you to see inside of it very well maybe with like a crashed air vehicle in it or something
Well fuckin done man! Good job pressing on even with this thing wearing on ya. Side note: sections and rooms like this often get abandoned mid development when they were part of the mission to begin with. The biggest example in H3 is the map Guardian which was from a part of the campaign in which you would ride a high speed train fighting covenant, flood, and the first known "guardian" 🤘
Halo Reach's Pillar of Autumn mission during the later half has so many different blocked off areas that are huge. It must be unused unfinished areas they wanted you go into, maybe check that out.
Maybe it was intended for the drones/flying bugs to come down through the glass and attack while you made your way through? They're only used like twice in the whole game, they probably wanted to make the most of them since they'd be difficult to have implemented.
been watching your full videos. Got a few ODST ones I'd love to see you try.... Mind trying them since ODST and 3 have similar physics... Nothing with Prepare to drop. Mombasa Street By Kizingo and Oni Alpha Site.... Can you launch to Oni Building. Tayari Plaza, can you get back to where the rookie started? Uplift Reserve, can you climb up to the elevator... or the fall of it? Kizingo Boulevard, can you break the system and get the scorpion, wraith and banshees in to the final area? Oni Alpha Site, the elevator portion can you ride to the bottom... and can you launch yourself back to Kizingo Area? NMPD HQ, can you get down to Mombasa Streets? Kikowani, can you make it to the end without entering a banshee even once? Data Hive, can you get into the final audio log area without doing the other ones? Coastal Highway, Can you get to the epilouge area without a vehicle and still have virgil alive for the truck on Legendary? Maybe ride the trash compactor?
It's unlikely you're going to spot this, but if you are still having stick drift issues try getting a controller with hall effect. Those do not get stick drift. Cheers.
i recall there's a secret room on The Ark, I was only ever able to get into it via theatre mode by clipping my camera through a rock near the beginning and it would port my camera into an empty covenant ship room. Checking the files in the beginning bsp you can even see the room floating. I really doubt you could ever get into it as a spartan though.
I've had the same 4 controllers for every xbox (My og halo edition xbox, my launch xbox 360, my xbone and the slightly updated series x controller) and they all work perfectly zero stick drift and no problems. People don't take care of their stuff then blame it on everything else.
Same here. I'll wear the rubber off the sticks before getting any drift or sticky buttons. Have the ODST controller and had to retire it when the graphic started wearing off
i have a controller that still works well but then i stopped taking care of them and its the last survivor of the old ones [well other then a A thats pushed in] oh and my 360 controller that has 0 issues pink and white its also see through goes to show how taking care of something really makes a difference as all my new ones is dead
My Xbox is from 2013 so we’re talking lost ancient technology here when it comes to controller quality. But I’ve also played a lot of Halo and had a ton of LAN parties at my house, mixed with maybe a few anger spikes into the ground
@@TheShiltShow i didn’t mean for my comment to come off so douchy lol i bought a custom controller with rapid fire (i was a kid who dreamed of having one but had no money lol) so i do baby my controller so i don’t brake it lol but i do love mouse and keyboard for games like battlefield 4 and even fallout new vegas!
They have plenty of spaces where you can't go but can see in some way to give you the sense that you're in a larger world than you really are (selling that immersion illusion). Bungie still do this today. Also you say no skulls in your description but you have infinite ammo.
Its not really stickdrift it tends to happen with my controller on my pc but it only happens when I havent used it in awhile. Usually restarting the game or turning off bluetooth/unplugging controller fixes it quickly. Trust me Ive fiddled with my controllers for so long.
What i expected: you to glitch into the room What we got: "controllers are basically waterboarding" All jokes aside, i think crows nest seems alot like the tutorial levels for the last 2 games. Its possible at some point in development that was went to be the tutorial level and the gym was to test your targeting like the previous two games.
Maybe, but Halo 3 has some many secrets rooms in campaign and multiplayer, for example in sierra 117 exist a secret cave out of map, in the map ghost town exist a section locked that you can actually bug in to get in and it’s completely solid
the fact you spent not only 16 hours and BOUGHT A NEW CONTROLLER for this trick is actually insane, mega props
Fun fact: the first controller I didn’t show can never be used again because of this trick. I used to use it for my Xbox and then when I tried to connect it to my PC, found out the connect button no longer works.
…and the wire port is broken.
So I can’t even use it for my Xbox again, even though it works perfectly fine otherwise 😂

16 hours for one trick, I would have stopped at the first hour lol, impressive
And you would have been right to do so.

They should unlock the gym for Grifball!

You've coined the phrase "Let's give it a shot!" Literally my favorite thing watching your videos! Can't wait to see what's next!
People that love let's give it a shot, love life. And vice versa.
Never knew this area was a thing lol
Getting offered acid at a concert:
I've been playing Halo my whole life, and it's so cool to see that there's still so much in these games I had no clue about
How have I never seen this? The amount of exploration I've done is substantial, but this has evaded me
New discovery! But the music made this video 10x better😂
I've seen modders making this room accessible, which is a really cool concept
Never seen this before. Awesome keep on giving me new glitches pleaseee
Man that area is not secure at all. That is where the covenant should have come in.
Just found this channel and looking at previous videos looks like i’m gonna be binging for awhile, amazing work
The Bungie Halo’s are the games that keep on giving. Even nearly 20 years later
Pretty impressive and cool background music
This is insane, as an old halo fan this was amazing to see, glad you went through all the trouble, huge props!
Huge props my man you go crazy every time. Love your vids
i wonder if this room was meant for like a brute ambush, but was cut at the last minute.
Man I never knew about this room. It might be a room they were planning on using but then couldn’t find a place for it. Or maybe it was practice for building the environment.
Your channel is Gold
my mans the goat at finding h3 glitches this is awesome

I just got this recommended and I have no idea who you are but I always knew you could make it. I'm proud of you.
Remember when a single xbox 360 controller would work perfectly without issues for over 18 years?
I do, I use it every day XD
amazing video, still decades on we still find new stuff on these OG games, you need more subs and views for your vids they are great vids and the effort you put in is ridiculous

We should get reddit to try and reach out the a developer/ex bungie employee, I'm sure someone could shed some light on what this could have been for!

this content deserves more views
wow that’s amazing! I’ve literally never seen this room before until now, I wonder if there are any other hidden/unused rooms throughout halo 3
There are, and you will see them soon enough

Thanks, Toed! I knew about the Guardian, but I had no idea it was supposed to be part of a high speed train ride. Sounds like ending of Gears of War 😂
@@TheShiltShow It sounds a lot like the Gears ending 😅 just with space zombies and giant sentinels 😂

You’re spot on, the video I posted 3 days ago actually explores this hahaha
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that red UNSC logo anywhere else in the game too
This was nice to watch, you should do more videos like this!
Save the marines in Halo 3: Floodgate :-)
Maybe it was intended for the drones/flying bugs to come down through the glass and attack while you made your way through? They're only used like twice in the whole game, they probably wanted to make the most of them since they'd be difficult to have implemented.

Mombasa Street By Kizingo and Oni Alpha Site.... Can you launch to Oni Building.
Tayari Plaza, can you get back to where the rookie started?
Uplift Reserve, can you climb up to the elevator... or the fall of it?

My brother in christ you pulled out a 10 year old xbox controller of course its going to have stick drift
Just when I thought I had seen it all
Dude I had no idea this existed and I've been playing halo since I was like 9😭 (love your energy byw)
Thanks, Daka!
I can imagine an encounter where you walk into the room and jet pack brutes come down like at the landing pad.
I can't recall what the reason was but they did plan to use this for the mission at one point but then scrapped that idea and cut off access
Wow! I never even knew that room existed!
He is truly the sisyphus of halo 💯🗿
Still new stuff in halo makes me happy
Bungie were the bee's knees! 😊
Dude I had no idea that room was there🤯
A shot, We will give IT!!!!!!!
This looks like it could’ve been a sweet map
Fun fact, I still own a wired 360 controller, and it is actually the best one to use for this trick
never seen this and used to do these kinds of glitches with my friends, thanks for sharing!
I've been playing this game since the day it was released, September 25th 2007, and I never even knew this room existed 😂
Theres a mod out on the Steam workshop now that opens the door into the gym area.😂
It's unlikely you're going to spot this, but if you are still having stick drift issues try getting a controller with hall effect. Those do not get stick drift. Cheers.
there's a setting in MCC that controls stick drift percentage
i recall there's a secret room on The Ark, I was only ever able to get into it via theatre mode by clipping my camera through a rock near the beginning and it would port my camera into an empty covenant ship room. Checking the files in the beginning bsp you can even see the room floating.
I really doubt you could ever get into it as a spartan though.
Wow and i thought i did almost every out of map glitch in Halo 1 to 3 but i was wrong
It's funny I started playing on keyboard first before ever owning a console and ended up loving controllers way more.
I love these vids man
I have been in that room without the trick one of the doors was open with Enemies inside. Defo 100% that room with Enemies.
