Subject: Fun stuff to do on Cairo/Oustskirts/Metropolis/Sacred Icon?

Let me explain why I used specific levels. The reason being, is that my Halo 2 disc has *scratched itself over night. The levels specified in the title are the only ones that I can load. So that includes skull saves too. So for the mighty Halo 2 warriors, any thing fun and worthwhile in these levels with only Thunderstorm, Blind, Catch and Mythic as available skulls?

Stuff I've done so far-
Got scarab gun.
Completed Outskirts in 4:57 (Trying to top the record...)

*Sidenote: Take it from me, put your disc back into its case! It will help you by not leaving ontop of your xbox!

You got the baby gun...real men get the OS gun lol.

Or you could beat the vehicle collection for map 2 on Metropolis (18).

Real men don't have patience :/

Any videos I need to go by? Is Black Eye and/or Sputnik needed for a theoretical launch? I think I might be able to load QA, but it cuts black when it is almost finished loading.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

On Sacred Icon why not try keeping the grunts and jackal alive long enough until you reach the flood and can give them cool human weapons like rocket launchers

Holy crap it is's the sun! I need to really start paying attention to clocks...

Any way here is an amateur speed run on Outskirts. I wanted to have something up by tonight, so I uploaded my very first attempt.

Linkey.

No skulls needed for the collection:

Fun and worthwhile huh?

CS -

*go for an Elite assassination run up until the hangar battles, Heroic difficulty
*4-6 Ultra Elites in the bomb room elevator, best done on Easy
*Try to get the bomb room marine to die by touching the Covie bomb, best done on Easy

Metropolis -

1. Get the Banshee
2. move it past the invisible bouncy barrier
3. get in
4. see if you can survive

Sacred Icon -

*Mess around with the invincible Grunt
*Never use camo
*Turn on Blind and run in fear

You could save the Marines on SI, although they don't show their appreciation in a good way. I've only managed to saved one.

I'm actually going to try these. But I have little hope for the banshee.

Back when I used to be a prime lurker at Halopedia, I've seen a lot of things that I've never understood. One of them is the invincible grunt. I'll research that after I get this post finished.

Did you try this neat little jump?. You should be able to get to the marines faster.

Yeah, that's the one. The trick would be to keep them alive and take them with you.
