Looking at the vast number of glitches that seemed to have apparently remained in Halo 2 as it has been ported to vista (such as XBR button combo and possibly superbouncing) it suddenly occured to me that rocket swording mught be possible too since this was a problem that bungie patched through live with the first patch for halo 2 for xbox to take it to v1.1.
Can anyone confirm?? Since this was a fairly major problem for the game as you could fatal swipe someone with a sword from across a level, and if perfected fairly easily dominate a map.
Have any of the problems that where patched for xbox been fixed in the vista version?? Any answers from first hand experience would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT : I had forgotten to metion that this is in fact possible with ALL weapons but i had got so used to calling it 'rocket swording' since that was how i first discovered it. Most people used to use either a rocket or a sniper rifle since the reticle had to be red on the weapon from a long distance away in order for the sword to 'home in'. These were the weapons of choice since the reticle turned red from a very long distance away. It as even possible to master doing it with a zoomed sniper.
Also, although it was patched in v1.1 it is still possible to do by pressing X, B and Y all at the same time followed by R, instead of just pressing Y followed by R when switchings weapons, but it is significantly more difficult to do and not many people can do it reliably enough to use in a real game situation.
Obviously in the PC version it would be possible to create a macro for this which could pose a really big problem for halo 2 vista!
