Lol, I remember that one.

Dummying and swordflying was patched because you could dummy through walls and when swordflying you were invincible. Too many cheaters. But man, it was fun (still is).

There was also tantrumming.

My old Halo 2 account is Devil brothers

I can remember trying to sword fly all the time, I only managed it once or twice.

Does anyone remember the ghost launch?

When they put halo 2 online again they should allow these things in custom games because they are cool.

Four player split screen with rockets and swords, good times.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

If you hate it, just remove the title update. On Kai, no one has 1.5, and only some have 1.1, so you can do whatever.

It was also used to steal the flags in Coagulation BTB. Create a dummy in your base, and have the driver get you to the enemibase lift. When you jump out, your dummy landed right at the flag at it was pretty much an instant capture.
It was actually kind of fun trying to defend against this, but i can understand why it was fixed.

Lol, that's right, there was a big to-do over that one and a fix came rather quickly. Heh, we had Bungie scrambling for a while. I think H2 showed them the true value of beta testing.

Halo 2 for Life!

You've made a very outstanding list Grumpy1. I think you should make the post as you have done much more work to create this list. If I could pass the thread to you I would.

I'm probably going to do an update to my tribute thread and I will place them in there. Thanks for finding them.

I sometimes do individual posts for videos as some videos are just that good I think it deserves a spot light to talk about in the forum and that is why I posted the dummy launching video. It was very cool to me. The ones you posted are equallly as good though.

Yeah, I don't want to make another topic. Besides, your Tribute topic has it all so it doesn't matter. Heh, your topic is like the Library of Alexandria for archived H2 vids.

Halo 2 for Life!

Thanks. If youtube didn't exist and users didn't keep Halo 2 videos up I wouldn't have ever been able to make the lists. So I'm thankful to these people as they did the hard part I'm just bring it all in one location at Bungie.net (or I'm trying to lol) or make a directory to equally good lists by others like your great threads on Campaign.

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

Lol this.

Sword Flying was fun as hell. I didn't install the TU because of it. I loved practicing it in Campaign and using it somewhat successfully in Multiplayer.
