Elite Glitch

Frozen Elite on High Charity.

Frozen Elite refers to three separate glitches in two of the Halo games. The first glitch causes a live Elite to freeze in place in Halo: Combat Evolveds campaign level, Pillar of Autumn; the second can cause Elite corpses to freeze in midair. The third glitch causes an Elite's corpse to freeze in an odd position in Halo 3s campaign level, Cortana.

Halo: Combat Evolved

On the Pillar of Autumn, when you are going to the bridge and you run into an Elite, there are some Marines shooting at him. Lead him through the door toward the Marines and he will freeze. You can walk through him and the Marines won't shoot him, but if you attack him, it will sound like you hit a solid body.

Also, when playing some other levels on Co-op, if one person kills an Elite at the same time that the other person hits a checkpoint, the Elite will sometimes freeze while falling (the margin of error for this is less than a second.)

Halo 3

A frozen Elite corpse can be seen in Cortana, in the infested High Charity. As you travel through the level, you'll find an Elite's corpse sticking out of the ground at an oblique angle. He is clearly dead, and can only be unfrozen by hitting or shooting him. This glitch happens because the Elite is partially inside of the immovable ground, effectively locking its body in place.
