Bring Back Rocket Race!!!

I know that this topic is probably old. But on the map tombstone, there is an M6D Pistol, which is a Halo 1 pistol behind a fence on top of a box. I haven't been able to get past the fence or reach the pistol myself. And from what I've read on the older posts, it doesn't seem like anyone else reached it yet. But those posts were all 2 years old. One of my friends told me they reached the pistol. But he didn't show me yet.

Does anyone know if it's really possible to reach that pistol and use it? Reaching it would be easier if Halo 2 had Forge like Halo 3.

I don't think anybody has gotten to that:

YouTube

I will ask at HIH and see. One guy wrote it was not usable but I don't know if that means he couldn't get to it or that he got to it and couldn't use it.

Edit: Someone at HIH got in and it was just an image, nothing more.

Can you post a link to a video or screenshot of them getting inside?

No, I wish I could. There was a vid about it but when Mythica went down the link went dead. Without talking to a modder the only way I know of is for you to get behind that fence yourself, if you want absolute proof.

Well that's the thing, i don't know how to get behind the fence. I'm not really much of a glitcher in Halo 2. Halo 3 is a different story though but Halo 3 glitches won't help in Halo 2.

Do you know of any method to get behind the fence?

Yeah, it's an easy clip. Heh, I don't play live so I forget if Tombstone has 2 Hogs and a Ghost. If it does then just pile the Hogs onto the Ghost and clip through. The clips in H2 work just like H3, pile stuff over a vehicle and then exit to clip.

If it did have vehicles, wouldn't it still require 3 warthogs and 1 ghost? Thats the way it works in Halo 3. And I dont think that map has any vehicles in the 1st place. I'll have to check some other time.

Yeah, 3 Hogs is easier but you can clip with 2, it just takes more time. Instead of facing the door/barrier with 3 Hogs you have to sit 1 Hog parallel with the door/barrier and set the other Hog behind the first one (still parallel with the door/barrier).

You sound pretty knowledgeable. If there's only a Ghost you can pile lots of boxes/object onto a second player sitting in the Ghost and exit through that way. One other way to do it in H2 that you can't in H3 is build a big pile of nades and just launch through.

If you have a PAL system and an original box you can swordcancel through.

Unfortunately, I only have an NTSC system. I do have an original xbox and xbox 360 though. Hopefully there are vehicles on that map when I check. Launching was never my specialty. Even in Halo 3, launching is still a bit difficult for me.

I'm actually an expert at glitches in Halo 3. You might have seen some of my videos on Youtube. You can see them here. But yeah, I'll do my best to try and get past the fence the next time I go on Halo 2. It's going to take a few days though.

Whoa! I never knew of this.

I'm guessing it's just an object in the game. If you could pick it up, I'm sure there would be ton's of videos out there of H2V modders using it.

Cool, I'll look at your H3 stuff tomorrow and if you want you can check out my H2 stuff here

Several of the first ones that you see are just experimental vids about getting into the 'space hole' on The Great Journey. It's one crazy place but the better vids start at about the 8th vid.

Woah that space hole is cool. How did you get that brute to standstill though? I can only do that on Halo 2 Vista. It never works on the xbox version for some reason.

Rofl, I'm watching your stuff now, you are good.

The Brute will stand still if you slide up to him from behind, if you approach him from the front, he'll walk around a bit and then board you.. Stupid Brutes.

lol thx. Oh and I just checked the map tombstone. There aren't any vehicles on it so I can't clip through using the vehicle method.

I'll ask how it was done on HIH, just for curiosity. With something this old, maybe nobody actually got in there and an assumption was made. Or maybe a modder got to it, told people about it and they gave up trying to get in.

Yeah that's what I thought too.

Is it possible to stock pile grenades in a spot, without having the grenades deload?

I watched videos recently, I don't know if you need the sputnik skull, but one player can bybass walls and barriers by gathering a ton of nades, piling them in one spot, and with overshields, throws a nade, jumps to the wall/barrier, and the blast from all those grenades pushes him through the barrier.

I would test this myself, but I don't have xbox live, or the map pack.

Yup, it works through almost any doorway, barrier, glass or wire screen (topic pistol). It will work through some walls if they're thin enough. A good friend of mine, xlax007 invented that method.

If you want to get through something you've picked out you have to make a pile and if you have one player always watch the pile, it will stay. If all players look away it will vanish at about 35 to 40 nades.

xlax developed several methods for the launch using plasma nades. He piles the nades about 3' from the barrier, then you have to toss what we call a fuse nade. When the fuse goes off the whole pile will go off about 1 second after the fuse explosion. At that time you should be next to the barrier you want to pass through. If you have BE on to full overshield you will get propelled through the barrier and survive maybe 1 out of 10 or 20 tries.

It's generally imperative that you get a checkpoint right after you have the pile built. That way you can try the launch 20 times in about 10 or 12 minutes.

That is for Campaign so I'm not positive on how feasible it is to try it over and over in MP because you would have to set up for each launch and that gets boring.

We tried to get through the big 'Green Door' in the metal canyon of Sacred Icon but we had no checkpoint and we think that door is too thick.

Yeah, he's fun to work with, when he or I are doing a trick we PM each other a lot to discuss methods. His mind is like watching lightning let out of a bottle. I would say, if you consider Campaign, MP, online, superbounces, partner bounces, launching, planning and all other aspects of tricking/glitching that he is probably the best there is in H2, imo. He does it all except swordflying. He would be as great in H3 too if he still cared to play.

He's a really good guy so contact him if you want more in depth info.

I've tried moving that pistol around in Entity, when I loaded up the map on my xbox it was just floating in the air, can't pick it up or anything. It's just a model, however you could switch the regular pistol with it's model if you want it that bad.
