I created this topic to share tips and tricks for Halo 2 with each other, this can include fun gameplay types such as swords vs shotguns (especially fun on small levels [midship, lockout, ivory tower, foundation]); tricks such as sword jumping (side of a warthog, target enemy, try to slice, have them run away, then exit the warthog and you will fly); and also some glitches, like sword launching (using a rocket launcher and a sword, you run out of ammo, then point the rocket at an enemy, then start hitting Y, Right-Trigger in quick succession, and you will fly about 45m or so to the target. Works pretty well if you can perfect it. also is a great way to get to unreachables.)
Another thing would be great sniper positions, like was mentioned zanzibar on top of the base with invisibility, and also on top of the building with the generator.
The way to get up here is easiest with an overshield (aren't they all?) go to the side windows of the main building, and then jump to the shade of the next window, you will stand on it like a platform. You can then either rocket jump, or grenade jump to the top and be pretty unnoticable. If you can manage to get someone to help with sword jumping you can park a warthog where the sniper base is, then sword jump and gain access to the top of the wheel. Very nice sniping spot. Another one here is on the wall, where it branches where you can go up to the windows, or across to get the sniper rifle and 4 plasma grenades, then onto the shotgun. Anyways, go up the small ramp, then crouch jump up to the top of the windows, then crouch jump again to gain access to the main pillar, you have a nice view of both the beach, and the front half of the wheel. However you are in wide open, so prone to attacks from any side. _________________

-Very nice and while we are on the topic of Zanzibar, Did you know you can get on top of the other large pillar closest to the invisibility as well. 1st grenade hop your way on top of the invisibility shack (human grenade is fastest for this),once on the roof have a plasma grenade handy and drop it on the corner facing the pillar and hop way over to that pillar. You will need to time it to perfection, jumping just as the PG explodes. You can then began to pick off your foes 1 by 1, however, there's no cover so if you get shot at simply drop down to the beach side to allow shields to power back up. If they are ground level though, just crouch and see if that takes away their angle.
For Foundation, in room no. 1 there's a fan and an outlet to get on top of that level there. It's easiest to do if you play the level with light vehicles, Warthog in particular. Drive it onto the gas vents to reach the 2nd level, then stand on it and grenade hop into the fan opening and jump on top of the level. There's some invisible walls up there so it's not free roaming. Oh yeah, bring the rocket launcher with you for some easy kills. If you don't enable vehicles, just carefully move that platform thing under the fan opening or stack MCs.
For Midship, you can get all the way up to the roof and do some sniping. On those side ramps that take you up to the level where you can make a run for the Sword, jump to the inclined portion of the wall. Turn around and run up it until you can make a jump + crouch (so you don't hit the ceiling and fall) onto the half dome looking thing. Once again, no cover but who's going to look for you there unless you shoot the needler across the map. _________________ [XBOX v1.6b / Xecuter 3 CE / Western Digital Caviar SE 300GB HD / ATA166 IDE Cable / XCM Cystal Clear Case / Red Firework LED 80mm Fan / 12v Fan Mod / UnleashX Default Dash]
