"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

I never thought of that one...did it really work. I like the warthog through the front door of red base and take of. It works some times, but that depends on the people. Your approach sounds like it would works. I am going to try it. I don't know if this is really old, because every halo fan has woren out the trick and all that junk....but in ctf the flag throw to the person on top. u jump up to the edge facing the teleporter and hit trigger. then your partner standing there catches it and goes through the teleporter.

Take a warthog or tank and put it over the teleporters. At the base, chase them up the ramp and they should try to go into the teleporter to escape you so you whack em since u blocked it.

Another one is for CTF put a tank with the barrel opposite to the base up to the base (back it up) at the other persons base and use a ghost and ram into it straight. You should fly and go into the hole. Easy stuff.

all these tricks are ok, not compared to the ones at my 4 XBox's system link game. i dont want to give away to many, but ill tell you one.... In BG the rock that looks like a thumbs up. if you park a warthog perfectly infront of the slope going inwards towards the rock, and you get in the gunner seat of the hog and get out at the right angle you can get inside the rock....noone can see you in it and guns cant hurt you while your inside, but grenades can.. if you take a rocket launc3r in it and a sniper you will pwn. make sure you get a buddy to take the hog away before any enemies notice something different about it! it takes alot of practice and patience. but once you do it once you will always remeber how you set the hog correctly. any further questions pm me.

Here are a few serious tricks/bugs.

1) The double melee.
*********************************
Press melee then grenade then melee.

2) Who has time to reload?
*********************************
When you've used some ammo in a weapon and you have a second weapon press x, x, y. To reload while using your second weapon.

3) Hydrolic Spartan Shocks
*********************************
When falling crouch just before your hit the ground to minimize the damage you take.
[Warning - if timed improperly you can actually cause more damage to yourself.]

4) When in doubt, nade it out
*********************************
Grenades are very usefull for moving weapons, power-ups, vehicles, and of course corpses.
In levels where the powerups are placed up on small platforms [Hang Em High, Damnation] try to use grenades to get em to where you need them.

5) High School Grenade Hop
*********************************
This one works well for Damnation. When your next to the Overshield closer to the falls throw a grenade first right next to it then grab it. Once you get it jump up and forward while crouching you'll be propelled right onto the ledge where you can easily grab the rocket launcher. Combine with tip #4 for extra fun.

I find it interesting that everybody believes they know something better than everyone else. These are all great tips, tricks, and techiniques. However, the only actual dirty tricks are those that enable you to kill others easier. It is not very practical to spend so much time and effort just to reach the top of the level, in my opinion. If your own health is set so high, everyone elses will be too. This obviously makes it more difficult to kill them, which means more bullets or rockets, which means you must hop off the top of the level and re-arm yourself. During this time, anyone can rack up more kills than you ever will. That goes for everything else as well. So much time is spent tyring to pull off these tricks that you miss out on all the action. Don't get me wrong, there are good tricks when it comes to CTF and such, but when it comes to Slayer, the only good tricks are those that help you kill easier and faster.

haha well i play lan every other day, but once in a wile ill get on xbc for a couple of "just for fun games" which is when i usualy use the dirties trick/cheat of em all. The glass shader swaps! ow wee i love just sittin on the enemies base at bg and just smakin em when they try to come up. also i use some light tricks where there guns give off light so they cant hide and snipe, but my fav has to be the "anti camo" where the bitmap for camo is screwed and camo dosnt work. keep in mind these are only on the xbox that is using them and not on the other.

a non modded trick ill share is the flag toss which i know many of u know about this. both u and ur teamate go ontop of ememy base(BG) after u cleared em out and 1 jumps in grabs flag, looks up, jumps and throws to partner, then partner runs thru portal.

i dont have a modded box but i have the save things, but if i wanna play moded halo stuff i cant have live. (Mods) i swear its one of the only reason halo become as fun to me as when it fisrt came out. i love playin single player throwing banshees and lifepods as nades and then flying em around with never die on and rocket projectiles on my handy dandy pistol. when i play co-op i always make sure to put on flying hogs.... so fun for both of u.
o and 1 shot kill is pretty cool, when u shoot the pelican it blows up and crashes. super jump is fun for those who hate walking.

there is plenty of stuff halo is capable of and was already in the game. "cough cough" flame thrower. like all the maps where made with extreme quality. there are areas of maps that were never intented for the player that are fully put in the map as if it was ment for exploration. examples would be any pit you have ever seen or any area u couldnt reach or w/e practicly everywhere. i think Bungie should share all the cool -blam!- they can do that we cant.

all in all cheats/moded cheats are 100% wrong and im exposing these lil cheats to those who had no clue about em so that Bungie makes sure to do somthin to Halo2 so online cheats cant be cracked. Im pretty sure they were well aware of this problem and some i would bet use glass cheats on halo1 as well(if they couldnt think of somthin better). well i mainly hope i got someone at bungies attention. i just want some news that halo2 cant be cheated.

I like to drive a warthog into the base on BG and take a right to the end of the little hallway. Get out and go around to the gun, you can now shoot thru the wall into the base to kill flag captures are thru the outside wall to kill approaching enemies. Hard to see but you cant be shot thru the wall, watch out for grenades thou.

Hey, maybe someone out there can answer this for me. I play on XBC nearly everyday, and my teammate and I are pretty good, but whenever we play a team that is amazing, we notice that they do one thing almost constantly: they slap.

Whenever they switch guns, or immediately after spawning, they throw a punch. I know about slapping to speed up reload times, but I'm not sure about weapon switching. I think they do it to speed up the amount of time it takes for the weapon to become ready to fire, but I'm not sure. Could someone please elaborate on this for me?

I don’t know about the respond but punching as a new clip inters the gun does speed up reload time, you don’t have to wait for him to -blam!- it.(real useful with the shotgun) and wail I’m on the shotgun even if it says there’s no more shells hit X any way it will probably load 3 or 4 more into the gun, I guess he keeps them in his underwear. Not realy a trick, but Knowledge is power.

I have one this one some might know already but I like to call it " Air Assault" . It's really cool and can even give you a killtaculer if your lucky. Imagine playing FFA in prisoner and you respawn at the top and you see several of your buddies fighting. Well all you do is jump down and hit a person in the back and kill the people who the person you killed was fighting and then take out all the rest . It takes some practice but when you master it. Its really a kick ass trick.

on side wider this is good 4 team capture the flag at the start you take a ghost or warthog and go in the tunel and see were there kinda the bars of wall and the two power up park your vechile right nxt to the wall and your team mate gets the flag goes to the other side and if the vechile is close you can jump thorgh the wall and into the vechille.

on blood gulich team ctf you put the tank next to the wall of the base and just try to drive up it then you get your team mate in the warthog to push you up the wall SLOWLY then the tank goes vertical so the warthog has a big run up and pushs it up then you can keep it on top or you can drive it in to the hole on the top of the base so it's really hard to get the flag but it's not to hard to return the flag
P.S WHEN YOU PUT IT DOWN THE HOLE YOU CAN'T GET IT OUT

people smack when they spawn for a "silent spawn" so u arent heard if there are any spawn killers.

i have a trick i love to use to make the flag fly across the whole map.(BG red team)
after u grab blue flag take it all the way behind the base to the cliff walls, right by the lil
"hole" where it curves down (good for hiding with a flag). well right next to it is part of the cliff u can walk up a bit (ide say 15,20 ft). once u get as high as u can go u look at base and then turn 90 dagrees right and u jump and throw flag against cliff so it starts hoppin down the cliff side. it will start "studdering lol" or just shaking and befor u know it, it will go flying all the way to the reds cliff sniper spot where u have someone waiting.

I can't believe they didn't list warhog doors or Timing in a game.

Warhog Doors - Cramming the warhogs into the doors on blood gulch so you have to flip them to enter and exist. Anyone opening them from the outside dies instantly with a 25 second respawn.


Timing. - Weapon respawn times. I have been ban from localized tournaments because I was timing and they felt no one else had a chance because of it.

Telling a buddy that has to use the restroom really bad, that you cant be kill wail paused is really dirty. Usually works 2 or 3 times before they notice they don’t have the same weapons they did before they left.

Another funny thing in hang em high CTF is when you are the blue team wait in the little hallway with windows where the health appears. Usually enemies will run around the map and go up the ramp right by you. Since the radar is only a motion sensor you just wait for them to walk by and you melee attack them when they pass you. Its freakin hillarious and degrading!

in, fact it takes to much skill for to do it, but my brother has found that if you're on red team on hangemhigh you can throw a grenade to cause the rocket launcher to fly through you, such that if you hold down x, you catch it.

PWNING WITH SUPERIOR FIREPOWER

Sorry guys. You're all just using modifications on what was said in the main story. How bout this fresh WHOPPER of a dirty trick.

CTF Mode in Blood Gulch (best map, hands down)

When "all vehicles" option set to on, all the players except one rush the other base, with the plans of stealing the other team's tank. This will ensure they do not have it, as well as distracting them from what the left over player is doing.

The single lone player grabs the tank, and heads to the side of the map with the caves. in the little opennign between the two cliff outcropping will be a cliff pass on the left, and a cave on the right. Drive at the cave, aiming up the inner lefthand wall. You will drive the tank into the cave, and once it is in there and resting flat on the ground, abandon it. No one will be able to find it for one, as no one really goes in there.
If that doesnt seem convicing enoug evidence to try this tactic, how bout the fact that if someone does find the tank, they will spend a while trying to get it out of the cave, which cannot be done. It's stuck for the game, and they will keep trying for a while. Having the only tank in the game is a HUGE advantage, by the way.
I AM THE MAN!!! WOOT
Not even the celebs in the story got this dirty man....

PS if you would like me to try my hand at gametesting, let me know. I have the skills you need.
