or you could get in a ghost and drive sideways, into the cliff then when your driving you get out so your moving when you get out so when you hit the cliff you'll fly straight up and out of sidewinder. and bring plenty of sniper ammo :P o ya you gotta be up on the cliff by the teleporter.

Takes way too long to set up. the ghost works both ways, and on both sides.

bah

I would strongly not recommend going up there without a ghost. You're a sitting duck if someone else goes up there. Plus, walking takes too long.

There's many ways of getting out of Sidewinder. Here's a couple of methods I know:

1. Ghost strafing into one of the cliffs on top of the 'Rocket Launcher Hills'. You get out at the right time and you get pushed up the slope and on top.

2. Ramping off a Scorpion tank on top of 'Rocket Launcher Hills' in a Ghost. If done right you'll end up on top in a Ghost.

3. Warthog Jump, using thrown grenades, people with Rocket Launchers and/or guy in Scorpion. You need to get the Overshield so you won't die from the explosions, and make sure there isn't too much fire power or you'll go too high and die on the fall back to the ground.

Ratings:
1. This is your best bet to do it during a Multiplayer game on your own. Practice it by yourself a few times and you'll nail it every time in a match. The best run to do with this is get a Sniper Rifle, wait for it to respawn to get more ammo, jump out the top, get in a Ghost and get your ass upto 'Rocket Launcher Hills' do get on top.

2. This is very complex to do but is a possibility in a Multiplayer match. Get your team mate to get in position with the Scorpion while you collect Sniper ammo, then burn up there in a Ghost and ramp him. Be careful with this as your team mate is vunerable standing still in the tank and if there's no-one there, the enemy may steal it before you get there. [color=white] 6/10 [/color]

3. I reckon this could never be done in a full blown Multiplayer match because it relies too much on not getting attacked. You may need about 3 grenades and 3 Rockets to get up there, plus you ned to time it right with you Overshield. Its quite hard when practicing, no mind doing it in the heat of battle.

for 2. all you have to do is drive the scorpion up to the spot that your ramping it... then get out and get the ghost and ramp the tank... if you practice it you can get it very often... 10/10

i tried using the tank ramp, but the only problem is setting it up before you get killed, so i think its best to bring along some backup while setting it up.

Also, if u get a worthog, at blue base go 2 the tunnel to right and go up, drive the worthog backwards up the rock, get a ghost and run up it.

If u have 300-800 (800 is from 400 health + oddball damage resistant) health:

At about anywhere just throw a plasma frag and rocket jump, somplaces only need a frag, u can get every vehicle up, ghost ( u know already), Worthog is go to blue base teleporter area, and just plasma frag rocket, and to get the tank u need 3 or more ppl where the area is the u go sideways with the ghost, the second from blue base, u all at the same time, plasma frag rocket it up
