There are still some weird things in the X-box version. For one thing when
you get dropped off (fromt he pelikan) in the swamp usually you are tossed
off if you don't jump off. However if you try really hard to stay on the
pelikan it will take off with you inside and go land on a hill nearby. This
area is a weird place strange two demensional trees litter the surroundings
otherwise there is a large clearing. If you look for a wall like feature
and follow it along eventually you will find a lonely marine standing by
himself. He has no weapon and will not do anything he is just standing
there. I think you can shoot him if you want but try not to as he doesn't
even drop any grenades or anything.

Is that on any specific level (Heroic, Legendary?)? I'll have to check
that out tomorrow.

Any level. When the pelican tries to drop you off. start throwing
grenades, even when you run out keep pressing the left shoulder button
repeatedly. As you're doing this the pelican should lift off and set you
down near the edge of the level.

When I said 'any level', I meant difficulty level. This trick only works
on Guilty Spark.

Nope. There's nothing I can do to stay on the pelican, and when I jump
back on and it lifts up, as soon as it arcs to fly away it drops
Masterchief and he falls and dies...

You need to start throwing grenades as soon as the level starts. Once you
are pushed out of the pelikan it is to late.
The pelikan will drop down to land start throwing grenades straight away.
You might push the control so you also stay inside the pelikan and wallah
after two or three grenades your inside the pelikan without any problems :)
It will take a bit of practise but you will get it eventually :)

It is when you get dropped of from the Pelikan in the swamp. Just before
you meet up with the flood inside that base thingy.
As soon as the Pelikan lands toss a grenade out then another (before you get
tossed out). The grenades will explode and you will be able to stay inside
the pelikan a hell of a lot easier. It should be noted that the greandes
will still strip your sheild but your health will not fall. So you can
still live through two grenades going off so close.
When the pelikan lands on the hill sometimes you might get stuck inside.
Try crouch jumping and maybe a grenade to get out (riskier but it sometimes
works).
