i was just wondering how someone did a dirty trick on me. one time i was playing on xbc, and i was playing on chill out and one of the dudes i was playing against was on the pillar closest to the invisble room above the broken section of the bridge. he was at the very top close to the ceiling. when i asked him how he did it he said he used the escalator. then he left. can anyone tell me how the heck he did this.

Somebody said something about getting into a ghost with the end backwards. You can do the same thing with a hog whip it around so it will hit you do it at low speed hits your over both power ups and you can get back in it... sucks for them

Here are some Dirty Halo Tricks that only a few know...

#1. When Playing in the level Battle Creek you are able to go under water and be invisable. In the middle of the level there is a small creek, hense " Battle Creek." Left to right there are divets or casems. One side contains an active camoflauge the other plain as day. (NOTE: This trick works best when the active camoflauge is picked up) If you move to side that doesnt have the active camoflauge and crouch and move in you will be pushed into the wall and under the water. In this position you can see everyone pass by but they cant see you even if they know where you are! This trick spot can be ended by a well placed grenade, but is still effective.

#2. This one is more or less general info, but some still may benifit from this. This info is for Blood Gulch. In this level there are two seperate bases red and blue. On the Red bases side there is a hill. Get a sniper rifle and climb to the top of the hill. On the top there is a single rock, jump on top of the rock. From that point you can see across the whole level, except for the sides, but for the expert marksman its like shooting fish in a barrel. The next one refers to that very same location, but requires a tank. Bring the tank to the top of the hill and park it behind the rock (NOTE: when parking the tank behind the rock make sure the drivers compartment is hidden behind the rock) If parked correctly you will be invunerable to sniper fire and other weapons. The only thing that can kill up there is of course grenades or the rocket launcher. Everything else can be seen way before it becomes a threat.

#3. The following are a few dirty tricks that dont apply to any particular level at all. Like to snipe? most people do, but they hate it when they get sniped. Pick up an active camoflauge while sniping this while provide a little more cover than you think ( NOTE: Sniper Rifles wont pick you up when you have the active camoflauge on. Meaning the crosshair wont turn red and it wont show your name) although this cover wont last forever it will make snipers think twice about sniping in obvoius locations. Ever get in a shoot out and then the person your fighting with trys to take cover to let there shield recharge? Here is the very simple solution to this, Throw a grenade to the left or right of them. If there hiding behind a rock for example, throw a grenade to the left of the rock then they have to exit right side, throw it to the right they have to exit left side. Once you have master this flanking method enemies will fall before you. Hate when people grab the over shields then try for close combat? Well, depending on the weapon set your using, if you pick up the plasma pistol and a regular pistol you can make them feel very stupid. Fire one charged round from the plasma pistol then switch to your regular pistol and go for the head shot. ( Note: It only takes 3 Regular pistol head shots to kill someone, range doesnt matter either) well these are only a few of my secerts i hope you liked reading these.

The double melee attack, what we like to call the double whack, does in fact work.
Most people will try and do it but will miss with the first whack and only connect with the second so it seems like it is only a visual glitch, but it is not. The double whack, if done correctly, will take them down to one blinking red health. i know this for a fact b/c i use it quite often.

Well, pretty much you guys know some of the best trix around like the ones that frog spent a long time typing. I have made up a trik or 2 myself

@ Blood Gulch:

set up a tank with its back up next to your base. Then get a ghost and drive up the tank so that the ghost is on top of the base. ☼☼☼Note☼☼☼: if you drive TOO fast you might fall into the hole in the middle. Then, this next part takes precision. Take your ghost next to either side of either ramp with the front facing out of the base. Then slide slowly on to the ramp so the butt of the ghost dips down on top of the ramp. If done correctly, when coming up that ramp it will give you the choice of fliping (even though the ghost is right side up) the ghost. You would think it would move out of the way so you may continue up the ramp, but it wont. Instead, the butt will bounce up once. If after pushing X you try to continue up the ramp, the ghosts bottom will land on you and kill you, you will be "killed by a vehicle". This is a good trik for capture the flag. It will work a couple of times but they will eventually learn to throw a plasma G. at it and it will fly up. But it will work a couple of times. (some times even pushing X twice really fast will allow you to enter the ghost. so if you are on top of the base it could b used against you.)

Another trik is to use the tank backed up against the wall to drive a warthog up it. ☼☼☼Note☼☼☼: some one must be in the tank or you will just plow through it. Then use the tank on top as a defence (Duh! use the anti air gun). This is a good way to defend your base in CTF.


Well im tired of writing ill write sumore later.

I'll be on my own side.

ive seen those before.one rather obvious defense is to put the tank on top of the base.if you guys know how to do this fast,its works kinda well.but the other team will eventuall use the rocket launcher,but its still kinda cool

Hey, I'm back again with news on the double melee. I tried it, and it works but it has to be timed correctly. When I tried it a long time ago I meleed too quickly so I really wasn't actually getting in two whacks. but if you melee-grenade-melee at the right speed it works as two seperate hits. I personally think it's still far too slow to actually use in any sort of combat situation, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

I'm sick of reading about all these people getting vehicles on top of the bases in Blood Gulch, so I will give you a rundown, and hopefully everyone will give it a rest. You don't need to ramp a ghost off a tank or warthog. You can drive it straight up the ramp if you tilt it correctly. Warthogs can be ramped off of other warthogs or tanks (lucky rocket shots work too). Warthogs can also drive through the bases front door and around the corner. To get a tank up, simply back a warthog up against a wall (making sure there are no barricades above it), and drive the tank straight at it. Have a friend ram you in the back with another tank or a warthog, and there you go. You could always drop the tank down into the base, but I find that wasteful (it is pretty funny to get down inside and turn the turret so the barrel is through the wall pointing out the door; people don't know what hit them). Using this my friend and I once got ALL the vehicles into a single base; two Scoripions, two Warthogs, and four Ghosts. I know, I have no friends. Some tricks work and some don't. You won't OWN until you've tried them all.

A way to kill those darn snipers who like that corner behind red base , is in front of blue base on right side a ramp like surface which offers the ultimate "i can see them but the cant see me!" spot. I love using this tatic as many frands try sniping from that corner.

set up ur tent right behind a teleporter in any level with a shotgun in hand, line urself up so that ur at their back when they come through, then blam! never knew what hit em.

in sidewinder park the ghost in the enemies base and sit so ur not detected on radar, and get free kill running over the unaware (be sure to place urself between the enemy and the frags placed in the base).

in battle creek, right in the middle of the level there is a rocket launcher, a quick way to reach it is to scale the ladder closest to the rocket launcher and jump up to the rock from the ledge at the top of the ladder, opposite from that ladder you can jump up onto the wall (which is the highest point in the level) and snie down on the unaware. from here, you can also easily chuck grenades through the roofs of either base.

in longest its all about the shotguns. in team slayer, whoever owns the shotgun spawn points, also owns the cloak and then over shield. just hover back and forth over top of your prey, and ull own the game.

in rat race the cloak and the overshield that are hovering over head can be shot down from below. a nice trick is to stand blantantly under fire and look above you and shoot calmly at the overshield overhead, then laugh at ur friends stomp on them with ur pistol (or AR for added effect) and then casually walk over to the health which is evry close by.

in hang em high, there is a place where a ramp is completely under cover, and leads up to almost the top of the base (this part of the map is very hard to describe) but there is a place where you can turn on to the right and it is still under the cover, in any case if you get the jist of where im talking about take advantage of this position on the right, to swipe the unsuspecting that are going up this ramp, in the right ankle for an instant kill.

This has probably been already posted, but putting your profile name as just a space is really cheap. Especially if you get the active camoflage a lot...

If you want to make a quick kill just aim with the aim circle of the pistol jus above someones head. if no shields is done instant kill otherwise it takes 3 shots. it will work better on great disttance without using zoom. But all the hardcore gamers would know that one already. So this tip is for the new users or for the noobs.

I got one is for a team match, capture the flag, on sidewinder. Well u put a warhog inside the building, right between the laders. And have the front of the warhog touching the wall so the enemy will go around it behind it. So they go behind it and get your flag as soon as they get your flag ice with the shotgun in there back the won't know what hit them as soon as there dead duck behind the warhog so they can't c where u were hiding. b/c u know when u die the count don't begins so u can come alive the cam stays there right and then they know where u were. So u got to duck behind the warhog. its so cool b/c they walk past the warhog then bam, there dead ahhahahahaaa
