Picture this: You're playing Halo 3, and you've just joined a game. Let's say you have a tradition that in order to start a round off right, you have to shoot a fusion coil (Halo 3's equivalent of the exploding barrel) as though you were firing a starting gun. When you shoot it, you're rewarded with the message "you committed suicide." Thing is, you weren't standing anywhere close to the fusion coil when it exploded. What gives?

 

Thankfully, in this case, there's a replay feature in Halo 3 that automatically saves footage of your game sessions. When you carefully analyze the footage for clues as to what happened, you find:

 

You were killed by a flying traffic cone.

That actually happens quite often. I forget what it's called on the Bungie website as a death.

I think I see a video somewhere where a sniper bullet ricochets off of a rock or something really far away, it comes flying back and kills him.

That's not even possible. Obviously a glitch or an illusion.

 

You guys should look up those mazes they make with plasma grenades and gravity lifts on custom maps. They're pretty sweet.
