In Response To: shooting stars on halo (Dark Angel §)

: after spending 4 hours searching the level halo i've found a few things but
: my favorite one is shooting stars. you may think im talking about the
: 'blue beams' but these are different. these go horrizontally accross the
: sky at an xtremely high rate of speed. i don't have a capture device of
: any kind to take a pic of it. and you have to stand in a certain spot to
: see them. problem is its hard to describe the location for someone else to
: take a picture of it. there is a very hard to reach ledge right off the
: side of the cliff near the marines inside the building. near the entrence
: next to the cliff to the underground portion. if you look over to the left
: while standing at the very edge of the cliff you'll see a ledge. drive the
: warthog off the cliff onto the ledge. jump out as soon as you hit the
: ledge cuz the warthog cant stay on and will fall off. if your lucky you
: will survive. then walk along the ledge a lil bit then stare at the sky
: shortly after 1-10 shooting stars will fly accross the sky. i've reverted
: to save at least 50 times doing this and it will work 75% of the time not
: every time. im not sure if it has to be like this but this is how i was
: when i saw it. i saved all the other groups of marines, easy
: difficulty(was explorin not killin), and all the enemies in the area of
: the last marines near the ledge were alive.

: the other things i found were 2 non textured areas seeable other than from
: the top of halo. if you stand on almost any rock on the level you will
: turn dark colored. if you zoom in with the sniper rifle at a large cluster
: of stars it will look like "waves" are flowing through them to
: make them twinkle.

: i know my description of how to get the shooting stars isn't very good but
: the ledge is very hard to describe without a video. the shooting stars
: look like plasma rifle bolts shooting accross the sky a helluva lot faster
: and a helluva lot farther.

: i will gladly share the finding with anyone that understands me and can post
: a video.

The ledge is easy to find:

The problem is getting there. :) (I can't make the jump.)

I stood at the leap-off point and watched the sky for a while - all I saw were a pair of the blue beams.

Anyone have better luck than I do at that jump?
