Tiny Enemies in Spartan Ops

Games Other Halo
1

I told a friend about this and he said it was a pretty common bug, but I didn’t find anything in the search. So here’s what happened:

I was playing Spartan Ops solo (Shootout on Valhalla) because I was pretty close to some commendations and wanted them out of the way. I get the turrets up and fought a couple waves of enemies, and then a Phantom comes in to drop off its troops. Problem is, they’re tiny. Like, smaller than my boot. Honest to God. Jackals and Elites were the only ones that were shrunk, but I’m assuming that’s because they were the only troops dropped off at that time. Since this is by far the most entertaining thing that’s happened to me while playing Halo 4, I studied the small enemies (henceforth referred to as “Tiny Bros”). I noticed several interesting things. For one, their hitboxes were proportional to their size, meaning that if I shot above them I would hit air, not invisible enemies. The Tiny Bros had scaled weapons, but they returned to normal size if they took damage (it was really awkward fighting a Storm Rifle). The Tiny Bros ran at normal speed for regular sized enemies (to be expected, but still worth noting). Tiny Bros do normal damage (also to be expected). Tiny Bros have normal health and shields, but Jackal shields don’t really do anything since I can look down and over them.
Well, that’s about all I have. If anyone has encountered or ever encounters this bug, please say so. Oh, and by the way, to any “Pics or it didn’t happen” posts that may arise, SpOps doesn’t have theater. So…unfortunately no pics or I would have made a Tiny Bros documentary.

TL;DR: I fought tiny enemies and Spartan Ops and it was sweet.

Yep it’s a glitch.

Happened to me on the complex level.

Will probably be fixed on monday.

I saw it first day, it was actually pretty cool. I also find it funny watching multiple people shooting the ground trying to kill 1 enemy.

I love it. It really should become a mode for Spartan Ops. It increases the challenge level and is so much fun to mess with. An assassination looks hilarious!

This just happened to me. tiny enemies with regular size guns at first I thought the guns were floating . then I noticed tiny elites , smaller than my boot running around the ground and then it was back to normal. Very crazy.

Bumb to this post, wondering if its a glitch or an easter egg that someone on the team has activated?

I had my first experience with this yesterday. I noticed that when I would get a kill there would be a full size wire frame that would fall to the ground in some instances

8

I was freaking out first I thought there was invisible elites. And then I thought why are they holding their guns with their feet. Urns out they were just small. Btw this glitch is complete random.

9

First time this happened to me I thought it was a new enemy.

10

Little did we know the Elites have successfully created shrink ray technology.

Happened to me too on shootout on Valhalla it only happened when I didn’t get all the turrets activated before the drop pod and the two phantoms arrived. But that might just be a coincidence.

It’s a known glitch in certain spartan ops missions. Please don’t revive old threads, particularly not five year old threads.
