I've done it!

Rather than going on that hell ride on Oracle, I cheated death.

I also had some good fun getting the Assassins skull. I like how the snipers (UNSC sniper, beam rifle) are not underpowered in this game. I actually enjoyed facing off against the Jackal snipers. Then again, what would I do without xlax007's skull guide?

Now it's time to rest and tomorrow, there will be Uprising!

Fada beo Halo 2!

Great job, i've tried doing something like that but never thought about waiting for the elevator to move. I've almost gotten to door without waiting on the elevator but kept on dying.

That's the great part about Halo 2! You can get to places out of the main area of the map. Thanks from showing this to me OP, I'll do this on my run through of Halo 2 on Legendary.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Great job SG! That was pretty neat to watch.

Like a good friend once told me...Halo 2 is three games: Campaign, Multiplayer and Exploration.

@Chief077 Thanks! Yeah, I suspected that the elevator would keep moving down once I had allowed it.

Of course, prior to that, I would be fighting Flood with the sword and plasma grenade sticks. Extremely dangerous.

So then I would try taking down the first 2 Sentinels with a plasma pistol overcharge (and I even tried sword cancelling on them to get higher). Very, very bad idea. No homing, difficult to tell which part is their body. They keep moving. And I had to hit them from far away to avoid that EMP. And when I used the sword, I kept smashing into them. When I tried long distance dual wielded plasma rifle bolts, I just ended up expending all my battery. It was very risky and very disastrous until I gave up trying to fight them and did what I did in the video.

@OMARRCHR Yeah, definitely! If you have allies still alive, it's even easier.

It is possible to keep the Grunts alive. This was one of my successful ones. Other times it can get disastrous (for the Grunts :D). Also, staying up here allows you to melee the infection forms more easily for overshields.

@Super PolarBear Thanks!! :D

Indeed.

And the best part is, it didn't have silly things like Reach's Credits system to keep us in the game. I work hard in Halo 3 so I can 1. get a result to share with people and 2. get a result which I can play with when I'm bored. Same thing with Halo 2. That is my preference of a reward system.

Credits and achievements just don't cut it.

And he was right. Good job on the find on Oracle.

Yep. And thanks!

Here's something entertaining for all of you. All I did was stick him with a grenade. Later in the video, 7 Elites, 6 with brute plasma rifle, 1 Zealot with shotgun. I made it so that they take out the fuel rod gun when stuck with a grenade but they never use it. :(

Nice work. I've always hated that part.

P.S. I noticed the leaked Halo 4 menu.

Yeah thanks! I could tolerate the Flood but the Sentinels made it too overwhelming. I suck with the Carbine. :/

Yeah I think it's legit.

I'm pretty sure those Elites have never been brought over like that by anyone so grats on that. Are you going to make a tut of all this for jumpers so I can put it in the tut archive?

Also, if you get them all to the end and can get them outside before the cutscene, they will be in the cutscene when it starts.

Here's an example.

Edit: After thinking about it, nobody has ever taken an AI and have it be in the ending cutscene. It would be cool even to have 3 guys, maybe in that Spectre.

Thanks! What do you mean by tutorial? Aren't the videos sufficient?

Is that true? I know that it's possible in CE and in 1 cutscene on Halo 3 but I never saw AI in a Halo 2 cutscene.

I meant put it all in one tutorial, you have them broken up plus some of that should be explained a little. Tuts are for people who know nothing of H2 but want to learn so there's some redundancy text involved. The experienced tricker will know but new people won't necessarily have any idea what's going on. it's up to you. I'm going to redo some of my vids because of the same reason. To me they were tuts but to new people I got asked a lot of questions.

I'm not sure anyone has tried putting AI in a cutscene, so it would be worth it. You could drive three Elites over to the tower and leave them there to see. It would be awesome.

Ah I see. Ok then, I'll make a beginner tutorial.

Ok but if I can say one thing about this task, it's that I have come to despise the Spectre. Maybe it's because I'm used to the Halo 3 Prowler, but I'm finding it extremely difficult to use. :(

Never mind that complaint about the Spectre. I got AI in the cutscene! All thanks to Sputnik skull for making it possible to get the Spectre there. It saved me loads of frustration.

Film will be up after further experimentation.

That....is awesome my friend. Heck, you are doing lots of things never done before. Go you!

Also, if you want, why not make 2 vids? One where you just show the cool stuff and kinda show how to to it and then one where it's spelled out so a monkey could do what you did. The first one would be shorter and would probably get more people to watch it and the other would be for archival purposes and would not get tons of views because of the length. I'm not trying to butt-in, it's your call and it's just a suggestion.

Darn right. And thanks!

Here's the best I got so far. Despite the Spectre still being destroyed, the AI always run to the vehicle because they still have the desire to get in the vehicle. It isn't until they get to it that they realize that it's destroyed.

And here's a mini-tutorial for Halo 2 Vista setup. In Halo 2 Vista, you can actually reattempt the cutscene glitch without having to exit Halo 2, allowing you to retain Sputnik's effect.

I'm going to upload how I got the Spectre down to the ground and over to the cutscene area.

Holy crap that is coolness. Three Elites in the cutscene, I bet you sat upright when you saw them there, lol. Sometimes I jump right out of my chair when I see one of my tricks actually works.

You may want to put up a thread on this one to make sure people have the opportunity to see it. I still think you ought to set those Elites so they meet Tartarus. I wonder if they'll try to fight him?

Edit: I looked in the HIH archives and Johnson is in the great Journey cutscene as a clone but there's never been other AI in the cutscene I don't think. For sure it's never been done on Uprising.

Thanks! Would have been 3 but like I said, Zealot doesn't get in vehicles (even if he did, none of them would go in the left seat) and the others lose their interest. Damn right I did. I was thinking that it was impossible and I was just about to give up and then I saw the first sign of possibility.

Here, jumprs, or both? Hopefully, they won't join in the scripted fighting so they can shoot from a safe distance. Wait, how do I get them to Tartarus if they can't transfer to Great Journey? :S

Clones are quite easy to get in Halo 3 cutscenes. How difficult was it to get Johnson in the Halo 2 cutscene?

For sure?! :o Oh and here's the tutorial. I'll be making a playlist out of this to make sure it doesn't get too unorganized. Then I'm signing out and going to sleep. I delayed my rest for this.

I meant in the cutscene. Tartarus shows up in the cutscene, if you plant the Elites there on the tower before the cutscene maybe they react somehow. I put the Spectre there so you could put the Elites there. In my vid Tart walks right through the Wraith I parked there.

Post on both if you want, why not? It's up to you though.

Oh. Well, I think he isn't physical since he can go through vehicles, the exact trait exhibited by the 2 Elites who also happen to be able to go through Arbiter.

But if I mod that Tartarus, maybe then they will attack him.

Just one problem. Don't I need sword flying? Is that patched in Halo 2 Vista? I never tried it.

As far as I know, if you can lunge you can fly.

Plain lunge or sword cancel lunge?

Also, I just checked in Gravemind 1.5. I can't find the Tartarus biped in Uprising. I need to know if that cutscene at the end of Uprising is actually on Uprising or Great Journey.
