I've started doing something different for the Wraith area that gets me through I'd say 9 times out of 10. It isn't as fast as the mongoose method, but it looks slightly more badass and has a higher success rate.
Over the rooftops on the left hand side of the area? I do that in my Legendary run. Was wondering whether or not to tell you guys since it requires a sprint-jump that can sometimes screw up. But I'm confused that you say its not as fast since I specifically picked that because it was faster than killing the jackal marksmen and the captain on the turret, and then mongoosing it down.

Is there a clip available? I've never seen this technique before.
I just uploaded one to my file share

Aside: I rendered it.
I like this method. Though I'm not gonna lie. That initial jump seems a bit tricky. I've been testing it out for about an hour, and in an environment where there are NO enemies and no stress, I can hit the beam most of the time.
That said, on actual runs, it tends to be much more hit or miss, and if you miss, it becomes extremely difficult to recover. Not sure if I want to include this or not mainly because of the amount of flak I'm gonna receive, but I'll continue to examine it tonight.
After tonight, though, if I can't put it into context, I'll have to nix it. Deadline is only a couple of days away, and due to my schedule, I can't put it off a week. It's either this Friday or next month.
EDIT:
I'm nixing it. Now, I know there are going to be people who scream "but tYrantz! it alwayz wrks for meh!" In truth, yes the method does work, but far less often than mine. It's a great method in theory, but even the times that I do make that jump, 9/10 I get to the area behind the Wraith with no shields which puts me at heavy risk if I either get blindsided by the Wraith and its sinister 90-degree mortars, or a Jackal Marksman that survived the initial onslaught. It may be something nice for high speed halo, but not for the novice player.
I encourage people NOT to try to change my mind on the matter. I have a deadline to meet so my decision is final. But thanks for cluing me in none the less. It's fun to experiment with new methods.
