Halo Hackers Go Wild, Unleash Flamethrower

Thanks to Halo.Bungie.Org for info on a new Halo Xbox hacking movie revealing some spectacular new tricks, including the ability to use the previously unavailable flamethrower and gravity rifle weapons in-game, plus much more outlandish stunts. As the site says, "...even if you're not excited by the hacking scene, it's a hoot to see how much damage you can do when you're standing in a tower of 3 dozen Master Chiefs and your assault rifle fires frag grenades." These hacks were accomplished by hex-editing a cache file on a modified Xbox, and coincidentally, Gearbox Software have just posted the a new screenshot of the PC-exclusive flamethrower weapon, which probably works a sight better than the unfinished Xbox one.

"which probably works a sight better than the unfinished Xbox one."

Or maybe not. The Bungie flames cast shadows....

Am I the only one that read that as "a tower of 3 dozen Master Chefs" the first time? Oh the humanity! Bouillabaisse everywhere!
