Learning to Fly
We've said, over and over again, that we're in the process of building a rather feature-complete Halo 2 Tricks site, as a joint project with High Impact Halo. Because of that, until it's actually finished, we're generally sending folks to HIH with their tricks (anything collected there will be added to the new site once it's finished)... but Dark Helmet posted a trick so cool recently I COULDN'T pass it up. Many folks have been playing around with the Energy Sword glitch; it's been known for almost a week that if you start a lunge attack you can't finish, your sword will allow you to 'fly' to the target - WHEREVER that target is, whenever you get the chance to attack. There are a bunch of multiplayer movies showing this already (a nice one was made by Ducain and crew yesterday)... but Dark Helmet has gone them one better - he's done it in Campaign mode, solo. The first vid was a teaser; it was 3:12 long, 13.7 mb large, and didn't explain ANYTHING. Yesterday, he released a how-to vid, showing exactly how to do this at home. The video is 8:38 long, 41.1 mb, and pretty amazing to watch. Because it's WMP9 format, I've gone ahead and whipped out a QuickTime version for folks who need it - this one needs to be seen. (QT is 27.9 mb.) People complained that destructible vehicles would lessen the jumping you could do in Halo 2... Dark Helmet proves they're all full of hot air. (Louis Wu 15:51:57 UTC)
