Poll: What's the dirtiest trick in the book?  [closed]
Double melee:  0%
(0 Votes)
Never reload:  33%
(6 Votes)
Sidewinder. Grate. Ghost.:  22%
(4 Votes)
Get off gunner backwards, launch into air:  0%

"Secret room" in Chiron (not really a cheat):  0%
(0 Votes)
Off map Damnation:  0%

Off map Sidewinder:  11%
(2 Votes)
Off map Blood Gulch (includes sniper's tower):  33%
(6 Votes)
Total Votes: 18

By sniper's tower I mean the big tower off the right of blue base near the hill (the hill that must be used to get up there on your own without explosives).
For the purposes of this poll, I included only the dirtiest tricks. Anything legit (spawn killing, telecamping, other "cheap" tactics) I didn't include because they aren't actually cheating. Everything here is utilizing a glitch in Halo to cheat. I draw the line at getting off the map (my friends are too smart now) but otherwise utilize the first three quite often.
I consider getting off of the map in Blood Gulch to be downright dirty. Offers red team a huge advantage.

P.S. Bungie needs to fix the " thing. This is getting annoying.

The Ghost Grate trick on sidewinder is horrible, but another nasty is throwing the flag hrough to your partner on the other side.
Heres how it works, run and grab the flag. while you're doing this, have a buddy go and stand on the opposite side of the grate. After you get the flag, run to the grate and then use the fire trigger to throw the flag through to your buddy.
Requires no time-consuming ghost-setting and it pisses off the onlooking enemie that followed you in thinking he cornered you.

Though throwing the flag through seems less cheap since realistically they flag would fit would between the bars but not a spartan.

The great thing is, when my team in our play group does that, our opponents try to do it too, not realizing that we almost ALWAYS have two guys standing on our side of the grate. With shotguns. Sometimes a rocket. Whee.

If we are playing sidewinder with just warthogs we do this:

2 people attack the base
1 person watches the portals
1 person watches the our flag

Which ever of the two gets the flag goes through the portal above the base. If both make it out the one who doesn't have the flag is the carrier's body guard. The body gaurd with then grab a rocket launcher and watch the portal for the enemy. The other person watching the portals will already have a rocket launcher on our side of the field and he will back up the body gaurd. What's great is that the guy who was watching the portals first brang a warthog so the carrier can drive it to our base. Most of the time if we can get it to work but other times we have to adjust to other teams style and defend more.

Rip, you'll have to explain a few of these to me, 1. Double Melee, is that X X B? or something else?
2. Never Reload, how is that possible??
3. I forgot how to get to the secret room...

Well I know how to get off the maps on sidewinder, bloodgultch, and damnnation, but haven't done during a game...because for the fact that it takes forever - and if you run out of ammo it's a waste of time. You'd just lose. The Ghost grate I also know but haven't done during a game....yet ;).
I wanna know the no reloading and double melee trick.

for double melee, you melee throw then melee again

for never reload you press xxy, and your weapon reloads while your other weapon is out(this can also be used to reload while in a vehicle or reload while throwing a or meleeing)

bah

When you put quotes in a poll, it says " instead of ". It gets to be annoying because a lot of people like to use quotes, including myself.
