Losing internet 9/7/2012 until i don't know when. See you starside folks.


Fada beo Halo 2!

The swordfly? i've never mastered it but i think the idea is to lock onto an enemy and then switch to your sword real fast and do it, but i'm not really sure... i've only done it a few times and the first time an accident lol.

I think it was taken out in one of the patches. It was SO fun to do though. In fact, my friend never updated his Xbox just so that he could do it. Doesn't even have any of the DLC maps. :P

I could clear the patch for H2,and it will still work.

Lemons mmmmm

Reticle has to be red with any weapon, Rockets are best, Press Y and R a split second after.

It's patched though I was trying last time I was playing some LAN :). Or maybe I don't have the knack for it anymore but it was never a difficult glitch.

i saw a video using a sniper,and in this pattern YXR is what he used.

I can't remember ever having to cancel with X so I think that's a different glitch, there were a few involving the energy sword. But it can't hurt to give it a go.

Rockets had the longest lock range of any non-scoped weapon.

There are two types of sword flying:

1 Swordlunge is where you pick an enemy and lunge all the way to it. Instructions; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNLvuECAfbY Example; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIvBnbTVle8

2 Swordflying is the truly long distance sword fly where you fly from a vehicle. Example; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ni6GxzAbFnk Start watching at 1:47 if you only want to see the setup. In this vid I lock-on in the tunnel from passenger seat, then bounce off a truck to get in drivers seat, then I drive to another vehicle and switch my sword flight to that vehicle.

Another example without Blind on; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUo2ZOzjujY&feature=fvst Start watching at 1:00 for the instructions.

Extreme sword flying; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i34UHyN3DVg Start at about 3:10 for instructions.

I sword fly in single player but it's easier in coop.

I have lots more examples but you should say which type of sword flying you want to do.

Keep it authentic...

The only update I have is the one with the map pack disc. Is this patched?

On your title screen, if it's been updated it will have 1.5 on the lower right hand side.

Also, lol scurty is the master of sword lunging and I'm pretty good at sword flying but a guy named Dark Helmet is the master at both.

So any updates at all will make this not work?

The update that put 1.5 on your screen is the one that stopped sword flying, so any update beyond that kept the 1.5 update. If your box is not updated there will be no version at all showing on the title screen.

Also, with an original box you can get rid of the update by deleting everything having to do with Halo 2. I'm not sure about the 360 so I don't recommend it unless you don't care about the saves. Clear the cache, delete everything H2 on the HDD and then see. Like I said, it's unproven to me about the 360 so don't do it if the saves are special to you.

:(
Will deleting the maps delete the update too?

He, you are too fast for me, I edited both my posts so maybe read them again.

I would try it by deleting everything but the maps. They are MP so maybe it would work. I will say that I have a 360 that's never been updated and I can fly like crazy.

I have a Halo: Combat Evolved Limited Collectors Edition Original Xbox and a 360. On my Original Xbox I have just the map pack disc update. On my 360 I have all the updates. The Original Xbox is the one I play Halo 2 on the most. So just delete everything Halo 2 off my original and it should work?

It definitely will work!

For no particular reason I make sure to never have my original box hooked to the internet. I think it tries to have you get an update, then it won't but it may screw up your box, idk for sure.

I might give it a try. I have a lot of custom gametypes for Halo 2 I'd have to remake though.

If you buy Action Replay you can save everything you have to your PC, then put it back in if you want.

Halo 2 for Life!

you mean sword fly?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raCXDBC_rWw

if you mean butterfly then that is just pressing cancel (x button) and beat down button (b button) over and over again quickly with a enemy on top of your head.

To sword lunge one just needs to press between rockets and sword (Y button) to switch and then b button pressing after you get a good rhythm, or something like this I haven't done it in a while.

Sword lunge is where you have an RL and lock onto an enemy and switch weapons to a sword and swipe. You will lunge toward the enemy and no vehicle is used. Other weapons can work too, I like the Brute shot for a sword lunge.

For Campaign you can't do butterflying but it's fun on MP.

I have only the 1.1 update on my original Xbox so can I do it on that one? I thought the 1.5 one was the one that patched the glitch.

Crap, maybe it is 1.1 instead of 1.5. Really sorry about it, it seemed right to me. It's been so long, but I remember a fix right away, maybe within a week or so involving sword flying so that must be it.

I have a short vid involving the simple RL/sword switch if you want to see it. My sound isn't working but you can see the switch and lunge and the switch and fly.

I wouldn't mind watching those vids.
