I haven't tried the lunge glitch yet. I will soon.


There is another lunge glitch that is so fun. It's in multiplayer. I recommend doing this in Blood Gultch/Coagulation. Go to quick options and enable Energy Swords as the starting weapon. Once you start the game, take a warthog and drive it to the end of a base. Jump in the passenger seat with the Sword and have your friend come near enough to you that your targeting reticle goes red. Then pull the right trigger. You should hear the Energy Sword sound. After this, have your friend get onto the opposite side of Blood Gultch. When you're ready, just aim wherever you want to go and jump out of the warthog. If you aim high, you literally fly. It's so awesome. Try it out. ;)

i have done this on xbox live in the headlong level,
if an enemy is near the bridge (the attacking team home base)
target him and you will fly if you hit the bridge:p

I might join SeaRex . Drop an invitation to Covenant Killa7

Mojo 12-01-2004 12:16 PM

My fave levels are Delta Halo, Regret, the one where the Arbiter has to take care of the Brutes, and the last level. I LOVE the Halo surroundings.

Cyber-Slig 12-01-2004 12:21 PM

Covenant cities = pwnage levels . I love the earth levels too . But I hate jungles and cold steel places like the library . Those flood and flippin' hard now

SeaRex 12-01-2004 01:26 PM

the one where the Arbiter has to take care of the Brutes

That was probably my least favorite level... mainly because I hate fighting Brutes. I must have skipped at least three battle by roaring through them on a ghost.

I'll drop you an invite, CS. If you decide to join, invite lotsa' spiffy people.

Mojo 12-02-2004 03:28 AM

Nah, just use dual needlers, and they're toast. Pink, spikey toast that is...

Fez 12-02-2004 10:09 AM

One Needler for the brutes and one Brute Plasma rifle for everything else is the best combo for those levels.

Mojo 12-02-2004 11:26 AM

Ack! For some reason I can't get the Banshee at the loading point (Scarab Rifle thingy)!

I get this message:

Loading...

And then 1 or 2 seconds of nothing, and then Loading... Done

When do I have to board it? Right before it (doesnt work, I get blown to pieces), while it is loading (in between the 2 messages?) or after it?

SeaRex 12-02-2004 07:24 PM

I don't use needlers simply out of pride. Heh. Granted, they're better in H2, but they still just... I don't know... annoy me, you know?

The only two scenarios in which I would use one of those things would be (A) I ran out of ammo for EVERYTHING else in single player, or (B) it was the last available weapon to dual wield in multiplayer.

God, that gun just pisses me off. Thinking it's so bad ass... what a jerk.

Facsimile 12-03-2004 01:14 AM

I have always liked the needler. Not that I use it in multiplayer, but it's just a very stylish gun. Now the plasma pistol... *Shudders* I have always hated that thing.

Mojo 12-03-2004 04:49 AM

Soccer, anyone?
 
Right, I got the gun, it's awesome.

But while flying around, searching it, I found a cool egg on the same level.

When you fly towards the (distant) Covie Carrier, you will see a building that has been destroyed by something. If you see it from above, there's a triangular hole in it. From the front it just looks like a rectangular hole.

Fly in that hole to find a Soccer Ball.

Cool! Playing soccer! Covie Wraith vs Human Scorpion!

Fez 12-03-2004 10:49 AM

I still cant get it :(

oddguy 12-03-2004 12:32 PM

Are all these easter eggs clues to something we're supposed to figure out? Or are they just pointless fun?

Reptile 12-03-2004 01:46 PM

I found something on High Charity, a couple of Grunts dancing around a skull with the words engraved 'Grunt Birthday' on it.

I think it mightn't be a football, but a skull. There's at least two I know, the assassin and the envy skull, yet I haven't found them. You have to get them on Legendary, there's one on 'Regret'.

I dun' have broadband or Live yet, but I'll have them by next month.

-oddguy

Most easter eggs are pointless fun, but some are theorizing that the skulls could be related to each other and an acronym on the back of the Halo 2 Soundtrack or something.

Reptile, there are skulls on every level.

Fez 12-05-2004 02:08 AM

Where did you find that skull Reptile? Was it on Ledgendary?

SeaRex 12-05-2004 08:42 AM

It's only on Legendary, but I was under the impression that it was on The Heretic level.

Anyway, it makes enemies explode with a plasma blast when you shoot them in the face (even when they're dead) as long as their shield is down. At least, that's what people say it does.

Disgruntled Intern 12-05-2004 09:53 AM

Halo 2 is just as lame as Halo ever was.

Hence the developers making pathetic attempts to dazzle gamers with soccer balls and horribly predictable plot twists.

The game is ca-ca.

Mojo 12-05-2004 11:06 AM

That'll be your last post here then? I mean, since you don't like Halo, what are you doing in this thread? You have posted you opinion, now go away.
Out! NOW!

Right, about the skulls, here's a link to High Impact Halo:
http://www.highimpacthalo.org/showskull.php

I'm anxious to find the skulls, if I could only get through the damn Hangar Bay 2 in Cairo Station...

Oh, and I recieved the Halo 2 OST yesterday, it is REALLY great! For the ones who don't have it, try to find Breaking Benjamins Blow Me Away *cough* download *cough*! It's AWESOME!

Al the Vykker 12-05-2004 11:13 AM

So far I've beaten the game on like Heroic and two levels I think on Legendary...legendary is really worth it the game feels a lot different which is awesome. And as for skulls I've only found the one on Outskirts theres a few grenades piled on top of each other and a tiny scope on a tripod and a skull. It's close to the beginning of the level. Also I was able to get on top of almost all the rooftops on that level. Its awesome to explore and see all the detail that was put into the levels.

Mojo 12-05-2004 11:39 AM

You found the Energy Sword yet?

Oh, and if you throw a 'nade "out of the level", as you can do in Outskirts, it'll stick to an invisible wall, and detonade, whereas in Halo, the nade would just dissappear (like in Sidewinder).

Dear dude that place is so hard on Legendary. A lot of retreating required.

Oh, and what fun I had with the soccer ball. We went everywhere together. :stare:

"You have posted you opinion, now go away."

Actually Alphadouche I think I'll continue to chime in here and there just to irritate you.

SeaRex 12-05-2004 07:41 PM

What DI means to say, AS, is that this is a thread about the game, and therefore anyone can comment on the game as they see fit. Negative comments are just as valid as positive ones. Just because he doesn't like the game doesn't mean he shouldn't be able to say he doesn't like it. Please keep your arms and legs inside the car at all times. Etc.

I mean, as much as I am up Halo 2's ass on Live, I can still admit DI has a point.

Disgruntled Intern 12-05-2004 09:13 PM

God damn right I do!

Everything is still too shiny, the AI still sucks, aaaaaaand the actual gameplay is mediocre at best.

The only thing I enjoy is the online play. And even then all I really enjoy is talking massive loads of shit as I dominate all of the prepubescent dumb-dumbs who try to step to the dough faced Killah, yo.

SeaRex 12-06-2004 03:30 AM

The AI wasn't so bad in H2. I mean, when you compare the Elites in H2 to the ones in Halo, they're frickin' geniuses.

Jumping over boxes? What a nice idea...

Cyber-Slig 12-06-2004 03:40 AM

The AI in Halo 2 is bad ? What the **** have you been smoking ? AlphaScrab has a point . If you want to share an opinion don't say it in some n00bish, flaming manner . But I will agree single player just gets repepetive . Anyways I remember finding a skull on easy mode somewhere . I cant remember where though . A corner somewhere I think . B

Yeah, that's what I said. Well, kinda... He posted his opinion, no? And since he doesn't like the game, there's no reason for hanging around here, right?
Cuz it would be spamming if he kept saying: I don't like the game, blah, blah, blah, etc, etc, etc(The blahs being reasons) over and over again.

Sigh. If I have hurt your feelings, DI, I apologise for it. Now scram! :p

(For the record, that was meant to be funny, please don't yell at me for that)

Jumping over....boxes?

Wow! What an amazing innovation!

Yet 9 times out of 10 the elites will just stand there as you toss a plasma grenade between their legs, or walk right past you, or even better yet they'll manage to shoot other members of the covenant in the process of trying to get me.

Yeah, go bungie!.
