There's a lot more mistakes in the game than that and it's one of the reasons I love the game. That hole you described led to us grabbing the Scarab gun. If you drive down far enough (past two sets of pipes) and sit next to the building you will be in two maps at once; the one you are on and the one inside the tunnel where the Scarab spawns. With sputnik, Black Eye and a Rocket Launcher you can launch up and grab the gun. Too cool.
Bungie overlapped almost all maps and that led to exploitation, lots of fun and they gave us skulls to do it with. Fail = win in H2.
Any chance you can link me a video of that?
Here's the one where my pal dantheman 87 grabbed the gun in single player (the first recorded time that was done). This is the most common way but he forgot to show the hole in the barrier.
Here's the one where I sword fly to the gun from the water map and you can see how to drive through the barrier. Extremely difficult.
Here's the one where I get the gun from inside the tunnel. This is pretty advanced tricking but you can see how beautiful this game is and it shows you exactly where the Scarab spawns. Outrageously difficult. Note; I had to do a sword fly to the hole in the roof, turn and then do a weapon switch sword lunge (WSSL) after landing on the Pelican (for an instant) in order to get back to the gun.
This tutorial is how I got the Pelican and Phantom up on the roof.
This tutorial is how I set up the Pelican and Phantom in order to do the actual sword fly inside the tunnel.
Keep in mind the water map and the hole in the tunnel map are overlapping so when you are in one map you are also inside the other. So I set up everything in the water map and then went to the tunnel to get the gun. That is why the vehicles were sitting in the tunnel.
Oddly, this Scarab we're talkin about shoots from the rear, not from the front. The rear is where the gun placeholder (plasma rifle) is set. Remember the Hog in the tunnel that gets blown up, you can see it in this view.
