Is there any way to get down into the first chasm (you are on the bridge and a Pelican drops them off) in AotCR in single player? I know you can do it in Co-op, but I was wondering if it is possible in single player.

Closest I got is this:
* Came out of the door and onto the bridge, killed the sleeping grunts and elite (so no-one is bothering me)
* Jump off the back of the lower level (under the door I just came through) onto a ledge a little lower down.
* Walked along it (sharply goes down at one point) till I got as far as I can go (Heading towards the back rather than the direction of the rest of the level)
* Faced towards the wall a little and jumped off the end, I landed on another ledge but was quite badly injured (no shield, 3 bars of health).
* I slowly slipped off the edge and hit the floor
* I died

I have not gotten anywhere close to getting down there alive, but I have downloaded a movie showing someone race through Assault on the Control Room. First they threw a plasma grenade in front of the Shade to the left, and before it went off, he carefully jumped off the bridge down to a lower ledge on the side of the canyon ( it is easy to get down there, I have done it many times). A millisecond after he fell, the grenade went off behind him.The shade got blown over the edge. I don't know how he did it (would have taken me forever) but he landed on the ledge, looked to the right just in time to see the Shade bump the ledge before continuing on it's path down the chasm. Quickly, for the whole second it was on the ledge, he pressed X to get in it, and, luckily started twisting and turning and tumbling down the cliff WHILE HOLDING R and shooting. I think that you have to shoot to prevent you from dieing somehow. He hit a few ledges further down, and then landed perfedctly on the ground without a scratch. I was in awe. Once again, another thing I'll never be able to do.

I managed to do it! I just carefully looked at your instructions (EliteAdimiral) and after about 50 tries I did it. Then I 'reverted to saved' and did it again, 'reverted to saved' took 2 more goes and did it again! Its quite easy when you get the hang of it.

It is easier if you can get the shadow turret to land the right side up and not hanging over the edge of the ledge. You simply melee it off the edge and begin to spin and fire (it does actually help you stay inside). Its great because you can get inside the pelican and fly to the scorpion area of the map. It does get quite boring though, no enemies. After doing a vehicle collection I went back an restarted the normal gameplay.

well ive never done it but my friend has...
- you need to jump on the pelican (yes it is possible to survive it)
- you need to be very lucky.
self explanatory.

oh crap, wrong part, huh?

oh crap no it wasnt

Not the wrong part, just a different method of getting the same thing.

i've tried to jump on that pelican about 50 times.

ultimately i decided it must be out of MC's jumping range.

if it's possible, where do you jump from and at what angle?
