Disclaimer - Every time someone posts something they have figured out, there is a rash of comments saying "old, u suck lawl" or something like that. I have played Halo 2 since the day it came out and only today did I find this out. I have never seen someone do this, so while it may in fact be old news to some of you, it is original to me. Finally, I have never seen this posted on any site concerning Halo 2 map glitches before, and due to this lack of documentation, I am assuming that this is either new, or most people don't know about it. If you know about it, that's awesome, but refrain from being a dick

The glitch itself - Very minor, actually. But cool. On Ivory Tower, you know the woosh-lift thing? There are 3 on the map, but I am talking about the one that is all alone, that takes you to the top of the ramp that the overshield is on. I believe the Plasma Pistol spawns there. Now normally, if you hop on the woosh-lift, you go up and over, on top of the platform. And, if you jump off the platform on top of the air lift again, you get wooshed back up, of course.

However, if you stand on the platform (preferably on the ledge of the platform), and throw a nade straight down and jump towards the lift, you will end up on TOP of the air lift. You simply nade jump and aim for the corner there, where the ceiling meets the two walls. You will stay up there, perfectly still, as if you are on some sort of invisible platform.

This isn't that great of a technique - its pretty easy to see someone up there, and what's more, you CAN'T get down, no matter what. You can't move an inch. But, it is fun to chill up there and assassinate people who go up the lift. They totally don't expect it. And hey, if your teammates are causing a diversion, you could probably sit up there, unnoticed, for a few minutes, maybe get some snipes or rockets in.

Anyways, let me know what you think. If this is old news, then please say so, but like I said, don't be a dick. At worst, give me a "OBGJFIBY" (old, but good job finding it by yourself, i think that's the acronym anyways)

Peace!

yes old but sumtimes useful - if u can jump just right u dont need nades or help - people camp there in swat all the time.. its easy to kill them but lots of times they get a spree b4 getting noticed - also its not an invisable platform its the air lift is pushing u into the ceiling - also the reason its not documented is its very simple,most people know about it, and it doesnt need to be documented

Im not trying to sound like a jerk im just telling u sum info
