Updated: This thread is for MP and CMP.

There are amazing places to go and things to do in Halo 2 so I wanted to provide YouTube tutorials for people who have never explored. Most are places you can simply drive to.


Campaign:

Armory; This is a little bit harder but no skill needed, just a little setup time and you'll be outside walking around the space station.

Cairo Station; Explore all of the outside area with one simple grenade jump.

Outskirts; Explore all the rooftops and the water map.

Metropolis; Ride inside the Pelican.

Metropolis; Explore the rooftop on either end of the bridge. Use Wraiths as a ramp to drive up.

Delta Halo Lots of places to drive up and you can drive down into the lakes.

Out of Regret Lift; Real easy way to get out and explore.

Quarantine Zone; Explore 3 different maps. Just drive up or use a Scorpion as a ramp.

Quarantine Zone Flood Cave; Hard to explain this one.

Quarantine Zone Lightbridge; Ever wonder what it would be like to walk around in the gigantic room where you first see the Human Gondola?

Quarantine Zone Secret World; Walk to a crazy secret map right in the middle of the Gondola tunnel.

Quarantine Zone Bulldozer This one is fun, push the Phantom just about anywhere with a Wraith. This is a Bungie Media file so zoom to 200 to watch better.

Sacred Icon Get coop Godmode and kick booty.

Sacred Icon Get into the secret hole in the wall.

Uprising Drive a Spectre all over the top of Uprising. This one was probably discovered by Duo Oratar and his dad in 2007.

The Great Journey Drive a Spectre into the fight with Tartarus, and Take Miranda as the turret gunner.

The Great Journey Easily fly a Banshee up to Zen Garden.

The Great Journey Easily Drive a Wraith in to fight Mohawk.

Getting out of Zanzibar

Getting out of the map on Waterworks

Getting out of map of Sanctuary


Easter Egg Stuff

Metropolis Banshee Scarab Gun This is the easiest way to get the Banshee to the Scarab gun. This vid is 10 min but it is realtime so in 10 minutes the Scarab gun is yours:
Make a Profile
Start Metropolis and grab a Ghost
Race through without firing a shot
Stop at the tunnel and lure the Banshee
Don't harm the Banshee's wings
Tuck the left wing into the little tunnel
Board the Banshee without worrying about the loading zone timing
Done deal in 10 minutes

Have fun exploring!

Special thanks to:

Why are you here?

Wow I thought I knew a lot about glitches on Halo 2 but I guess not.

I'm definitely going to have to try some of those, thanks for the list.

You're a Campaign pro Floosy, I figured you knew all the ways to get out.

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Grumpy!

My hat is seriously off to ya, I enjoyed all of those a bunch. For all of the things I try to do in the Haloverse, well, I feel rather inadequate after seeing those~!

Some great stuff here, anybody can try these out with success. To the Top one last time in case anybody else wants to check these fun secrets out.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

Don't be fooled people getting out of the armoury is not as easy as it looks.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

The glitches on Halo 2 were one of the best parts. Same with the Easter eggs, I used to spend hours looking for them. Halo 2 nostalgia ftl. :/

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

Oooh memories.

Hey Grumpy1, what do you use to record it looks really good (I ask like this and not in a private message as I think others would also like to know this).

Hey Grumpy1, what do you use to record it looks really good (I ask like this and not in a private message as I think others would also like to know this).
I use an ATI Radeon capture card (internal). Mine has a TV tuner on it so I can watch TV on my comp. A lot of people like Dazzle cc's because they are external (usb). Dazzle = about $80 to $100....ATI = about $140 to $160.

My ATI card doubles as a graphics accelerator as well as capture. An external cc is not a graphics accelerator so the quality would depend upon how good your existing (internal) graphics card is.

Okay, i've done most of the Campaign stuff before but Multiplayer? Cool!

I think Grumpy1 made some really good videos, and I've never done them before but I might after watching them. Thx though for saying you like MP out of the map (most were shown to me and I'm in debt to their kindness and time back in the day, I wish H2 was still only so I could be learning new tricks and teaching other my tricks, I guess this way of showing them and watching the tricks I can learn them and also teach them but their is nothing like showing someone that is right next to you and learning from someone right next to you)

Geez, Grump, you certainly know your stuff. I think I may claim your (alleged) throne as the curmudgeonly older guy who remembers the 70's. I recall a time when there was a line for the Pac Man machine. Enough said. Nestegg is more out of touch than all of you !!! Good to see you're still on here. Keep the faith old man.

Lol, I've got one word for you......Pong. When it first appeared I thought it was high tech. The first computer I purchased had a 286 processor with 20 mb of memory. Before all that I was a Pinball wizard.
